Eco-friendly Father's Day gifts

Father's Day happens in many parts of the world in honor of fathers and is commonly also known as Men's Day. Depending on the country the day of honor will take place on a different date. In Germany, Father's Day is on Ascension Day. Like Mother’s Day the father receives little gifts and attention and is spoiled by the family. Many childless men use this holiday to celebrate together with their buddies and to make a trip.

The History of Father’s Day

Like the Mother's Day Father's Day has its roots in the United States. Inspired by Mother’s Day the American Sonora Smart Dodd (1882-1978) initiated in 1910 the Father's Day. Her father, William Smart fought in the American Civil War (1861-1865) and was one of the Civil War veterans. After the death of his wife he was a single parent who raised his six children all alone. In gratitude for his selflessness and care Sonora Smart Dodd organized in 1910 the movement to honor fathers. Only in 1972 a proclamation was signed by President Richard Nixon, who declared the third Sunday in June a permanent national holiday for fathers.

In addition to Father's Day, the International Men’s Day is celebrated on 19 November in many countries by men and boys, which are no fathers.
