Worst Father's Day Gifts

As opposed to Moms, Fathers always appear to have tough luck.

My father has also been a victim over time. Nevertheless, in honesty, during many of the early years, my Mom pleasantly received kitchen stuff, year after year.

Dads, however, still usually receive terrible gifts on father's day, also when the children grow up!

How terrible can these father's day gifts get?

We have a list of the most terrible gifts on Earth!

* Gifts that say "WORLD'S GREATEST DAD". Casual shirts. Cups. Neckties. Please stop. All dads have a closet full of "Greatest Dad" gifts. When you are in kindergarten, it's adorable. But not hardly when you reach fifty.

* Neckties. This is one of the gifts for father's day that is a classic. (moan) Who that first dad ever was, to be presented this condemned tie... Why did he say he loved it!!! I am envisioning a caveman wearing a necktie. It's been bad for Dads ever since...

* Cologne. This screams: "Father. You smell bad" Second. This says to Dad, "We are aware that your bathroom already holds a ton of cologne. It makes no difference to us. You can always find space for another."

* Jotted IOU notes or coupons. For back massages, foot massages, and other things. Sweet. But let's get serious. This is what you give your Dad on Father's Day at 7 pm when the stores are closed, and the children forgot to buy a gift. Uh-oh. :)

* The nose hair trimmer -- no explanation needed.

* A card with a song like MC Hammer's "Can't Touch This" Yeah. This is really available. (Father's Day Gifts with an MC Hammer kick)

Quotations such as this, from Mark Twain, illustrate the process of a relationship with parents and children that happens with nearly all of us:

When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around.

However, when I reached the age of twenty-one, I was amazed at the education the old man gained in seven years.

- Mark Twain

Or this one, attributed to the late, great, newsman Tim Russert:

The older I get, the smarter my father seems to get.

- Tim Russert

Nothing in the world can substitute for a good father. Thinking about this, why don't we aim for a much better father's day tribute this year?

Best Father's Day Gifts:

There are many fantastic gifts you can give your father.

Nonetheless, the best father's day gifts eventually are those which are: - Simple. - From the heart. - Something you and he will remember.

I spent much more time than I meant to, when I was browsing through my photos of my childhood with my Father, recently. Looking over every picture. The thoughts I must have thought when I was laughing at the haircuts and clothing. The memories you share. There is nothing as valuable as a treasured memory, when it comes to our family.

Let's honor the relationships we treasure the most, the relationship with Dad, this year.
