If you're a dad then I extend a virtual Hi-5 to you, and I hope this Father's Day is a meaningful recognition for the hard work and love you've invested in your family!

Father's Day is translated "King for the Day" in my family, just like Mother's Day is "Queen for the Day". I get to choose whatever I'd like to do with the family that day, and the wife and kids make a big effort to show me their love through gifts, cards, hugs, and attention. I look forward to these days far more than even Christmas!

Father's Day was first observed back in the early 1900s, and is celebrated worldwide by numerous countries. It celebrates fatherhood and parenting by males; honoring and commemorating both fathers and forefathers.

Electronics, tools, sports equipment and apparel are usually happily accepted gifts for dads, and this year I'm looking forward to choosing a new lawn mower. Another great gift idea is a camera cell phone, like the black Motorola Razr that I rated my favorite dad gadget in an earlier post.

What's on your gift list? Does your family ask you for ideas, or do they completely surprise you?
