father's day

We're not here to tell you how to run your life. We're mostly just here to provide you with cute pictures of kittens and GIFs you might like. But, if we could make a suggestion, don't get your dad any of these things for Father's Day.

Let’s just be honest—dads always get hosed in the gift department when it comes to Father’s Day. The presents you buy him for Father’s Day—if you remember at all—are almost always way crappier than the nice thoughtful things you got for mom.

Father's Day is fast approaching and we believe Dad deserves just as much man-pampering on his special day as Mom does on Mother's Day.

It's that special time of year when each of us takes stock of our relationship to dear old dad and shops for the appropriate necktie to give him on Father's Day. To make this gift extra-personal, it's customary to include a thoughtful note, telling your dad what makes him special.

First celebrated  just a couple of years after the first Mother's Day in 1908, the very first Father's Day was in Spokane, Washington on the third Sunday of June in 1910 and wasn't adopted as an official national holiday until President Richard Nixon signed into to law in 1972.

The perfect dad is, of course, a made-up one. A dad you could mute whenever you wanted — except why would you want to when he always doles out his advice with deadpan delivery, well-written wisdom or the perfect punchline? In other words, TV dads are the most perfect dads of all.

If you’re having a tough time finding a gift for Father’s Day, you’re not alone. But here’s the good news: most dads don’t want anything other than to spend a little extra time with you.

Retailers and greeting card companies would like you to think Father’s Day is just as important as Mother’s Day. Is that really the case?

It’s that time of year again when we celebrate everything dad has done for us. That’s right, it’s Father’s Day! We found some baby animals that know exactly what it means to be in the Father’s Day spirit. Take a look at some adorable father-child animal bonding and cuddling.

When you’re young, “Dad” is the ultimate superhero. As we get older, this notion may begin to fade sometimes, but every once in a while when your old man throws on a cape, a mask and some unfortunately tight tights, you tend to remember that he’s always been a superhero. Here are some photos of our favorite “super dads.”
