Father’s Day Cards by Moon pig
It’s coming around to that time of year again where we look at celebrating our dads. Yes, Father’s Day always falls on the 3rd sunday of every June, so in 2008 we celebrate Father’s Day on 15th June.
Some people find buying for their dad’s easy enough as many are easily pleased, but you may be one of the unfortunates that has a fussy dad or maybe you just aren’t good at choosing gifts - after all there is such an amazing choice available, where do you start?
For the next few weeks I will be trawling the net for some goodies that would make ideal Father’s Day Gifts, so you can discover some hidden gems.

There seems to be a day for everybody and every profession nowadays, and whilst it’s not something I would particularly celebrate (not being a nurse myself), Nurse’s Day is celebrated this year on the 12th May. Which just so happens to be Florence Nightingale’s birthday - one of the most famous nurses in the world.
So if you have a friend or relative who is a hard working nurse, or even if you have been in hospital yourself recently and want to say ‘Thank You’, then what better way than to send a card or a bunch of flowers on Nurse’s Day.

One of the best pressies I ever received was a fabulous framed collection of cells from my all time favourite film, ‘The Matrix’. I wasn’t expecting the gift and I was very impressed that someone had gone out of their way to buy me something that I would appreciate.
It has been on my wall ever since and so when I found the Movie Market website, I thought what a great gift shop to highlight to others and give people an interesting idea for a present.
