About this deal
Note that all of the gifts in this guide are real. You can actually buy them. We know this because we here at the Gift Guide did buy them, although of course we did not use our own money. We may be tasteless, but we are not stupid. It's nice to celebrate our dads, so much so that we don't need an excuse. But do you know why we celebrate it?
This is not a typical gift guide, the kind that features gifts that people might actually want to receive. This guide features a very special kind of gift — the kind that, when you give it to a person, causes that person to sincerely wonder what he or she ever did to you. This exciting and fun gift idea is a “new wrinkle” on the old classic board game Monopoly. Instead of being based on Atlantic City, N.J., Idaho-opoly, as the name suggests, is based on Newark, N.J.Warning, warning! Father’s Day is just around the corner – Sunday, June 19th. That’s right – it’s damn close. But don't stress because there is still a lil' bit of time. Why not get some gadgets for dad?
While Mother's Day is a Christian holiday in the UK, Father's Day actually stems from the US, from a rather sombre affair. The first Father's Day took place in 1908 in West Virginia when a church held a special sermon honouring fathers after 362 men were killed in a mining accident. In 1909, a woman called Sonora Smart Dodd petitioned to see Father's Day recognised as a national day to honour her father, and all other dads out there, and the Washington state celebrated its first official Father's Day in 1910.
