Have you thought what to give your Daddy this Father's Day?

Whenever its something special to celebrate for your parents or loved one, the first we think about is how to make the day special. After all, this is no ordinary day, its Father's Day. The role that our father's play in our lives is huge, guiding us, taking care of us. If we think, we can give something back in return as much as they have contributed for us and sacrificed for us. Nothing seems to fit the chart for returning the love. However, Daddy knows you love him. He knows you want to do everything to make him feel special.

When I asked the question on Facebook, this is what responses I got. While some thought spending quality time with your father would be great gift, others suggested to give something useful like a wallet or a pen holder. Few also suggested to think about the hobbies and gift your father on those lines. 

Here are a few Second Life gifts that I would suggest as they are unique and timeless. 

A tree photo frame is a timeless gift for any member of the family. This mesh frame has land impact 2, which means a wall is covered with your sweet memories and no need to worry of the prim count. Also L$ 69 is a great deal to grab. It can hold 15 pictures and is 4m high and 5.53m wide.

To capture the sweet memories you would need poses. You may choose to get the poses from  "Forget Me Not". The poses by Forget Me Not are mostly under L$ 100.

There is also an interesting hud that I found on marketplace, the Follow and Grab Hud. Like in real life, you can run to your Daddy and grab him wishing him a Happy Father's Day. It can be a good gesture to start of the special day. The Hud only animates your avatar, which means you dont need to ask for permission from the other person. This can be a good way to surprise. It is worth only L$99.

Most importantly be sure to enjoy and be with your father on June 21st. Mark your calendar, gift him something he likes or remembers you.

Have fun little boys and girls and be sure to write your views on how you spent the day with your Daddy in the comments section below.

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there!

June 16, 2013

In 1972, President Richard Nixon signed a proclamation making Father’s day an official holiday in the United States. It was only right to give dad his day since Mother’s Day had been around since 1908.

This holiday is a celebrated to honor fatherhood on the third Sunday in June.  Other countries around the world have also taken on this holiday too but the dates vary. For example, In Italy, Belgium and Bolivia, Father’s day is celebrated on March 19^th. In Romania it is observed on the second Sunday of May. In South Korea, both parents are celebrated with Parent’s Day on May 8^th. 

In Egypt, Syria and Lebanon, this day is celebrated June 21; the first day of Summer.

No matter where we are in the world and on what day, celebrating fathers has become a worldwide tradition. Without a Father, there would be no us, unless we are a miracle child created through Immaculate Conception.  Father’s aren’t only those that contributed to your creation, they don’t have to have a genetic connection to be considered a father, he can be the one that stepped up to the plate and took on the role of helping raise and mold you into the person you are today. So, whoever it is you consider to be dad, be sure to let him know how much you love and appreciate all he has done for you, maybe even apologize for all the headaches you gave him as you were growing up. The most important reason for this special day, is letting him know you care, not just on this day, but every day.

I'm a daddy's girl and ain't ashamed to say it proudly. One of the big questions for Father’s day is what do I get Dad? I usually come up with something good....I think.
