Dear Just Be: I need some Father’s Day gift ideas.

It is rumored that Father’s Day was first thought up by a woman named Sonora Dodd in Spokane, Washington in the early 1900s. Dodd was raised by her father after her mother died and she felt her father needed to know how special he was to her for all that he had done and sacrificed. She organized the first Father's Day celebration on the 19th of June 1910, because June was the month Dodd’s father was born. From this idea and first celebration, the observance expanded across the country. In 1926, a National Father's Day Committee was formed in New York City. In 1956, Father's Day was recognized by a Joint Resolution of Congress, and then in 1972, President Nixon created a permanent national observance of Father's Day to be held on the third Sunday of June.

To honor and recognize the fathers in your life, below are just some gift ideas to give this Sunday. These gift ideas range from the traditional to the more unique.
