Find out the Gifts that Should be on Every Dad’s and Grad’s Wish List this Year

The nation’s first Father’s Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910, in the state of Washington. However, it was not until 1972, 58 years after President Woodrow Wilson made Mother’s Day official, that the day honoring fathers became a nationwide holiday in the United States. Many years later, choosing gifts for dads and added to it the grads, is still a challenge, according to Aileen Avery, who has studied and written about both the psychology and history behind gift giving in her popular book GIFT RAP: The History and Art of Gift Giving. Now, Avery will use her unique expertise to provide gift suggestions for choosing gifts that every dad and grad will appreciate.
