Father’s Day 2025: History
The idea of celebrating fathers dates back to ancient Babylon. However, modern Father’s Day began in the United States in 1910. Inspired by her widowed father who raised six children, Sonora Dodd advocated for a day to honour dads. The first celebration of Father’s Day was hosted in Spokane, Washington.
Reportedly, another lesser-known origin traces the day to 1908. It is stated that the observance, began after a West Virginia church honoured over 300 men who died in a mining disaster, some of whom were fathers.
Father’s Day officially became a national holiday in the US in 1972 and eventually gained worldwide popularity.

Well, it’s never easy to buy a gift for your parents, especially fathers. If you are struggling too, you can refer to this list:
- If your father’s tech savvy, you can consider getting them latest wearables like smart watches, headphones or gadgets they have secretly been eyeing.
- For someone who is into cooking, bartending or if they are a foodie, gift them tools, a hamper of premium ingredients they would relish, or even sign up for a cooking class.
- For the stylish fathers, you can select a gift from a wide range of fashion & beauty products like perfumes, belts. If your father likes to dress up, consider getting some classy suspenders, pocket squares or cuff links.
- You can also get fishing gear, golfing kits or hiking gear, depending on your father’s hobby if they like being outdoors.
- If you are on a tight budget, you can consider making them cards, or write heartfelt notes and gift them with some flowers. You’ll see them go red because sometimes dads like to show they are tough, but are softies.
- In case you miss your father/father figures a little more around this time, visit their favourite spot or their resting spot. You can also do an activity they used to love or do something you did together to celebrate their memory.
