(PRWEB) June 7, 2005 -- Fathers Day is June 19th and soon all of us will be trying to find that special something for Fathers Day for dad. I never considered flowers for dad until last year when the Classic Hot Rod came out from Teleflora. Dad loved it and a still talk about it today, there is a growing trend, as flowers are no just for women anymore. Even guys like to receive flowers and enjoy a bouquet now and then and have a keepsake for later.

This year Teleflora is introducing the 1944 Ford Truck bouquet. My dad had an old blue Ford, when I was a kid so guess what he is getting for Fathers Day", says Ken Summerville, C.E.O. of 1-800-I-LOVE-YOU Flowers and Gifts. There is a trend growing for fathers to receive flowers on their special days, in fact every year we see more and more floral bouquets being ordered for dads and grads during the month of June. Teleflora has come out with some very special bouquets for dads over the years from the Classic Hot Rod, Dads An Ace Blue Plane, a Fire engine bouquet and even cars from time to time and all have been very popular as year round gift ideas.

Another popular item from http://www.800iloveyou.com is their real cigar dipped in 24K gold and their mocha coffee, teas or gourmet hot chocolate gift sets at just $24.95 delivered. The creation of a national day for Dads began back in the 1900s when a grateful daughter wanted to express her deep appreciation for her own father. A gentleman by the name of William Smart, a civil war veteran, was widowed when his wife died in childbirth. Mr. Smart raised his six children on a rural farm in eastern Washington State. When Sonora Louise Smart Dodd, one of Mr. Smart's children, was grown she wanted to show her appreciation for her father. He had shown her a great love and strength in raising her and her siblings as a single parent. So, in 1909, she proposed a day to honor her father in June (the month of her father's birth).
