My mother probably didn't particularly like this day. It would be the day she labored with my birth. Dad on the other hand, despite the stupid things I would do in the future, was probably quite proud of himself.
Father's Day is a day when your offspring try their best to salute you. They are too young to know why, but if Mom says so... so be it. Dads smile through goofy gifts like TIES, wallets, etc.
Me? My teenage son hasn't found the "guy" gene yet. So, to escape the goofy gifts associated with the day, we go on a "GUY" trip about a week before the big day. Best Buy and Home Depot are high on the list. As I walk through tools and gadgets I spew out grunts and groans when I see something that would be an appropiate gift in his price range. Thus assuring that come Father's Day - I won't be unwrapping another pair of white socks and matching tie.
Trust me when I say - the goofy gifts are only cute the first 7 years you get them. After that, men need to take action or be doomed for life.

RANDOM THOUGHTS FROM A MIND RUN AFOWL OF REALITY

However, if the daughter is studying Fashion Design, and the father wears a suit to work every day, and TIES are one of the few accessories to distinguishes one suit from the next...then, I believe, a tie is the PERFECT Father's Day gift for him to receive from his daughter.
