The day after Father's Day is a good day to reflect on the presents for Dad. . .

A New Twist on the Tie for Father’s Day
by T Akery June 2nd, 2011 | Father's Day, Presents
The traditional gift on Father's Day has been the tie. It isn't a bad gift. It just lacks the personal touch that a handmade tie has to offer. So, instead of heading to the store this Father's day, have your children head for their craft supplies. You will also want to grab the camera to take a few pictures for this unique gift.
Supplies:

Directions:
1. Draw a basic tie shape on the piece of construction paper, and cut it out.

There were some surprises. Matthew Smith, a new father, says "I honestly love ties." Maybe your dad does, too -- you should know.
Most people's suggestions fell into one of two categories: Spending time with your father doing something he likes, or high quality gifts based on his interests.

Mother's Day and Father's Day are not usually really big holidays to my parents. Perhaps it is because they are European and these two "holidays" are not celebrated over there, but it may just be the nature of the two of them. My sisters and I usually make these two days a bigger deal then they expect them to be, but I still do not think that we do as much as some families do.
