Editorial Guidelines Updated on May 19, 2023 02:37PM EDT Photo: Courtesy of Fellow, Patara, Target Though it only became an official holiday in 1972, the annual celebration of Father's Day in the United States—which takes place on the third Sunday in June—was created long before that. It was born in Spokane, Wash., in 1910 when Sonora Smart Dodd, one of six children raised by a widower, set out to establish an official equivalent to Mother's Day for male parents. Around the world, Father's Day festivities occur throughout the year, like the second Sunday of August in Brazil, where St. Joachim, the father of Mary, is said to be the inspiration for the holiday. In Thailand, it's celebrated on the December birthday of the widely admired King Bhumibol Adulyadej. Everyone wears yellow to commemorate the day. And in Germany, on Ascension Day, a tradition is honored celebrating fathers by organizing hikes and other gatherings—and supplying the men with a hefty stock of food and alcohol. Although American Father's Day customs center on showering Dad with gifts, that wasn't always a welcomed tradition. In fact, pushback against the custom of gift-giving is one of the primary reasons why Father's Day wasn't declared a national holiday until the 1970s. Times have changed—and now Father's Day is the ideal time to butter up your favorite guy with special something that's quintessentially him. He'll flip for a shiny new copper grill, hand-crafted gin, and cool loafers for just about any occasion. Read on for more of our gift ideas for the father figures in your life—and don't forget to get him a card, too. 29 Handmade Gifts That Will Make Dad Feel Extra Special This Father's Day Fellow Carter Move Mug Courtesy of Fellow His morning cup of coffee is about to get a whole lot better.
