Father's Day 2009 Date Coming Up, Get Ready!

Father’s Day 2009 Date Approaches

Do you really think Dad wants another ugly tie this year?

It’s that time of year again, when you know the Father’s Day 2009 date is coming  up, but you’re not quite sure how soon. The Father’s Day 2009 date is June 21, which gives you about three weeks to prepare. You don’t want to have to rush out on June 19, get a cash til payday loan and buy him something at the last minute.

Sometimes the best gifts take a little planning time. Fortunately, the most thoughtful gifts usually are also the least expensive. I scoured the web to find some great Father’s Day gifts using these criteria: thoughtful, useful and inexpensive.

Show your appreciation and give Dad a much-needed break by dedicating an afternoon or three to doing yard work.

Maybe you have a father who likes doing yardwork. If that’s the case, then help him! You’ll get to spend time together, the tasks will be finished more quickly and you’ll learn about the hard work your dad does to keep your family’s yard nice. June is a fantastic month for working outside, so hop to it!
