Father's Day Cards

by Daniel Evans

June brings sunshine, summer and aisles upon aisles filled with Father's Day cards. The cards appear quickly and with a vengeance, encroaching on the wedding and birthday cards that make up the bulk of the average store's stock. But they disappear almost as quickly, and woe be the person that shows up the Saturday prior to Father's Day, as the pickings will be mighty slim.
So, though it might seem obvious, get that card early. Be thoughtful in your choice, since it will be the first thing Dad sees when you present him with your gift. Like the cards for most other occasions, the type of cards available include religious, humorous or straightforward themes. Many include poems, often of the doggerel variety, so take care to avoid the cheesy cards. Of course, that is not to say that all poems contained in Father's Day cards are bad, so if you see one that particularly strikes you, snap it up!

If, though, none of the cards strike you as appropriate or funny, there is another option. Most card stores include a selection of blank cards. Often these cards have a simple drawing or photograph, and on the inside fold, space to pen your own thoughts.

Since Father's Day is about your feelings, it may in fact be more appropriate to tell Dad about your love instead of relying on the generic platitudes of card-makers. Don't worry if you're not a writer. Most dads will appreciate the thought required to make a personal note.
