In the 1930s, someone suggested combining Father's Day and Mother's Day into one day for all parents. However, this never came to fruition because people soon realised that the economy benefited far more from having two separate occasions.
According to Hallmark, Father’s Day is now the 5th largest card-sending day of the year.
We dedicate Father's Day to all our fathers and father figures. This day gives us an opportunity to remember all the things they do and to remember those who are no longer with us. It also provides a chance to come together as a family and celebrate our love for each other.
So, where did it begin? Did you know that in contrast to Mothering Sunday, Father’s Day is a relatively new concept? The first-ever Father’s Day happened in 1908 in America, and Britain quickly developed the concept here.
The UK originally planned for Father's Day to be a one-time celebration, not an annual event.
In 1909, a woman named Sonora Smart Dood from West Virginia made it her goal to establish a national Father’s Day. The concept quickly spread throughout Midwest America during the years that followed.
It wasn’t until after World War II that the commercial appeal of Father’s Day truly came to light. Advertisers then began to promote the troops on the battlefield. By the time the war was over, Father’s Day had become a household institution in America, and Britain was not too far behind.
The role of Fathers has changed significantly over the last few decades. Historically known as 'the man of the house', they would command the utmost respect and were generally the disciplinarian. This stoic attitude didn’t naturally encourage tenderness and love.
These days, Dads have much broader roles. They actively help raise the children, providing hands-on care, love, support, and understanding.
Despite this evolution, Father's Day still lags significantly behind in gift-giving. In fact, the National Retail Federation report that people spend more than 40% less on Father's Day than on Mother's Day.
Unlike our mothers, dads aren’t craving a trip to the spa or beautiful flowers. However, they are deserving of attention, love, and presents fitting for someone special. Instead, during this time of the year, gift companies predominantly market tacky, low-cost, gimmicky gifts.
At Watson Wolfe, we believe Father's deserve the very best. That’s why this page features a collection of high-quality Father's Day gifts, especially for this occasion.
All items are delivered in a Watson & Wolfe gift box.
