Fathers Day

Fathers Day in the US is the third Sunday in June. If you are looking for unique Fathers Day gifts think about something that can be from children of ages 6 months to 66 years. You can bypass the socks and ties this year and create a Fathers Day tribute by creating a photo memory book.

A Father's Day Tribute helps highlight all the special things they have done, or what they mean to you. It isn't as formal as it sounds. For instance, I remember eating peaches (which I hate) on our back "stoop" with my dad -- and I only ate those peaches because I was spending time with Dad. I could make a book called "Eating Peaches with Dad" and it is a tribute book and also what we call a photo memory book.

There are so many ideas for personalized, unique Fathers Day gifts now and every one is certain to bring a smile to his face. From photo books, to mugs, magnets and frames your worries can also be over when choosing a special gift for dear old dad. The nice thing about photo books is that every year’s book can be different as you can see from some of the themes below.

We went through several publishers with ideas for Fathers Day Tribute photo books. The following is a list and a brief synopsis of each of the different books and/or gifts you can make for your father or grandfather this fathers day. Also, keep in mind that coupons for these books can usually be found on our Coupon Page. Also note that if you’re not comfortable scanning your photos, you can take them to your local photo finishing center and ask them to create a digital copy of your photos.

Here are some fathers day poems and quotes to use in your photo book for dad.

I hope this information is in time to keep YOUR head from hurting this fathers day!
