Rainy Day BBQ Parties

When you live in a country like Wales, UK there is no guaranteeing the weather. So what do you do when you plan a BBQ party and it does nothing but rain? Luckily, the party can still go on, with just a few changes to the original plan. Move the cooking inside with an indoor grill, or brave the storm with a BBQ canopy or cover. A party gazebo will keep your guests dry whilst they enjoy karaoke entertainment under an array of summer sun indoor decorations.

Father's Day Keepsake Gifts for New Dads

Father's Day Keepsake Gifts for New Dads

Fathers Day is celebrated in USA and UK on the 3rd Sunday of June. I didn't realise that both countries celebrate it on the same day, probably because Mothers Day is on different dates.

We have a new Dad in our family this year, we will be celebrating his First Father's Day as my new grandson was born this March.

There are a lot of quirky Fathers Day gifts around, fun jokey items for older kids to give to their Dads, but I think its nice to have a keepsake gift on special occasions such as this. Something to keep, something that says, "I'm a new Dad, lets always remember this special time".

So I've been busy browsing the Internet, to put together some ideas for great keepsake gifts to buy for new Dads on their First Fathers Day. You can see them all on my Squidoo lens HERE .... from new dad mugs to first fathers day photo frames, there is a special keepsake gift for every new Dad here.

The Willow Tree Ornaments would be perfect for an unusual First Fathers Day Keepsake Gift too. Who says ornaments are just for Mums?
