Father’s Day is little more than three weeks away, so it’s time to start thinking what to get for Dad on his special weekend this year. If he’s likely to spend another year pretending to love the socks, ties and underpants that have been bought at the last minute, why not try something imaginative like our Barbecue Bucket, or the Cooler Basket, if he’s the type who likes to eat outside?

We’ve got lots more available in our Father’s Day Hampers and Gifts section.

Father’s Day is a little under 6 weeks away now and we’re busy designing hampers and gifts to mark the occasion. You can find the perfect gift for a Father in our Father’s Day hampers category.

The celebration of Father’s Day was inaugurated in 1910 and is celebrated on a variety of dates worldwide. The first observance of Father’s Day is attributed to Sonora Dodd, of Washington, following a Mother’s Day sermon that she attended in Spokane. She wanted a celebration that honoured Fathers like her own, a Civil War veteran whose wife died when Sonora was 16 and raised his 6 children alone.

The celebration was not officially recognised until the 1930′s though, resisted by Congress due to fears that it would become commercialised.

Firstly, Happy Easter to all. We hope that you had a pleasant break and enjoyed the good weather, if of course you were graced with any! In Dorset it seemed to rain on Friday and Saturday, but clear up a little for Sunday and Monday.

You may be wondering what’s next in the ‘Hampers‘ annual calendar, as we’ve now been through Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and most recently, Easter. Well, preparations for our range of Christmas hampers are still underway and will continue almost until the point that we begin packing in the Autumn. In the meantime though, our product development team will be busy working on some fantastic hampers and gifts for Father’s Day.

The rest of us will be hoping for a nice hot Summer to make up for last year’s wet and wild effort and working on other projects. Keep your eye on the blog to find out what we’re bringing out this year…
