Father's are the backbone of families. Without them, it is impossible to even think of a family surviving. They work hard to earn and to fulfill the needs of the family. In appreciation of fatherhood, father's day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June every year in different parts of the world, but in Australia it is celebrated on SEP 5th Of every Year. It is a day when we get a chance to shower our love on our fathers who have done so much for us all their lives without asking for anything in return.

We know in our hearts of heart all the sacrifices that our fathers had to make for the sake of our happiness and bright future. We know that whatever we do or give cannot compensate for what our fathers have done for us, but at least we can show that we love our fathers and make them realize that they are still important to us. Fathers day gifts are our way of telling our dads that their presence means a lot to us and that they are still needed and cared for.

The market is full of multitude of gift items from which we can select Fathers day gifts for our fathers. It all depends on our budget as also the likes and dislikes of our father. We know what will make him happy and cheerful yet we have to be careful not to be repetitive as we often forget that what we are planning to give is what we gave last year as well. If he is a movie buff, probably getting the latest set of DVD's on the genre of films he like will make for a great fathers day gifts.

Fathers are like the comfortable shadow of a great tree which makes us secure and cool. We feel as if we have the support and guidance of someone who is there in all situations and times. They are an asset we have and never should we think of our fathers as a liability. As long as they are there, we can think of ourselves as fortunate, for when they are gone, there is nobody who we can look up to and ask for guidance.

When looking for gifts for our fathers, we can think of the times when we were kids and asked for something that was expensive yet our father got it for us as they loved us immensely and could not see tears in our eyes. The glint in the eyes of our fathers as they receive a gift from us is what makes our day. We know that our fathers do not want anything from us. If anything, they want our love and respect which in modern times are slowly getting eroded as a result of nuclear families and materialism.

Instead of looking for something in the market to please our dads, if we can spend some quality time together with our fathers, it would be the biggest father's day gift for our fathers. The smile on the face of our father is our best reward.
