A little known fact is that Father’s Day was established in the US in reaction to and to remember the men and children lost in a string of terrible mining accidents at the end of the 19th century, following the second world war this day was adopted internationally. If you would like to read more about the history of Father’s Day, there’s a great article here.
Father’s day doesn’t have to be just about Dads you can celebrate anyone who’s a great mentor or father figure in your and your kids lives? Just imagine how special you could make them feel to be recognised for all they do.
My childhood memories of Father’s Day are not about big shop bought cards and gifting they’re full of spending a day with my Dad having a wonderful time with him, giving him a handmade card and maybe something I had made especially for him. So why not create lovely memories too on father’s day, by giving a keepsake handmade gift and card to someone you love? They are so much more personal and totally unique. Plus, it’s so much more fun getting crafty and creating a beautiful handmade card or gift to be cherished!
