If you find conquering the blank space at the bottom of a Father’s Day card daunting, you are not alone. It can be difficult to express yourself even if you have an ideal relationship with your father or father figure, let alone one that is more complicated.

Here at Curbly, we think Father's Day should get a little more play. Mother's Day is full of commercials, sections at the grocery store, fresh flowers, elementary school craft projects, and the like. But, for Father's Day? Maybe a sale at the hardware store? Some jokes about ties and cologne.

Either you love or hate things made from old ties. Skirts, handbags, belts have been predictably sewn from old ties. Even tablecloths and footstools have been made from the long bias-cut silk strands. Over on Dudecraft we found a refreshing twist, or should I say knot, for the familiar piece of flair.
