It’s Father-In-Law day today! Betcha didn’t know that he had a special day all for his own, did ya?

Father-In-Law Day is July 30, all the time (unlike Fathers’ Day, which is always the third Sunday of the month). So this year, it’s today, the last Friday of the month.

Did you already celebrate your Father-In-Law in June? That’s alright – we’re sure that he won’t mind being honoured with your attention today, too!

We’ve got a spectacular range of gifts that will make the special man in your life feel cherished. Here are two great ideas:

Flowers? Let’s be honest, flower arrangements aren’t usually the first thing that comes to mind when you’re thinking about choosing a gift for a man. But honestly, men do appreciate flowers from time to time.

The key, though, is to choose the right kind of arrangement. Most men prefer stronger and bolder colours, like dark red, vibrant purple and a dramatic yellow. We find that they also like less traditional arrangements. Instead of a traditional handtied bouquet or your run of the mill flower design, how about Zensational (pictured on the left)? This stunning flower arrangement features orchids and ti leaves in an elegant cylindrical vase. It’s quite different from what you’d usually find.

Zensational is usually $99.99 but it’s on sale this month for $87.99!)

Still not convinced about flowers? That’s alright, we’ve got plenty of other gifts to choose from!

Salmon and More is a gift basket (or rather box!) jam packed with edible goodies. There’s smoked salmon, nuts, Hazelnut Crunch, biscuits, crackers and plenty of more stuff that’ll keep your Father-In-Law’s belly happy!

What you see in the picture on the right is just $149.99, but if you think it won’t be enough, you can always add more stuff by making it Deluxe for $189.99. Want even more? Bump it up to Premium for $219.99.

Administrative Professionals Day celebrates the support According to the International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP), there are almost half a million administrative professionals (ie secretaries, personal assistants, receptionists, etc.) employed in the country. Although an entire week is devoted to employees, the “official day” this year lands on April 21 – which means you still have plenty of time to celebrate the assistance your company’s administrative professionals provides with corporate gifts and flowers, gourmet gift baskets, or fruit and nut platter for them to enjoy (or a day off)!

Administrative Professionals Day has been around since 1952, when it was created by Harry F. Klemfuss in conjunction with National Secretaries Association (now known as the International Association of Administrative Professionals) to promote the field. Previously known as Professional Secretaries Day, it has become a popular secular holiday in the workplace, celebrated around the world. “Festivities” generally include those centered around the workplace to improve professional relations and abilities. Many employers give gifts to the administrative staff to recognize their role in the company and express their appreciation. One of the most popular gifts is a plant or flower bouquet.

If you’re looking for a gift to honour a great employee, we recommend the following:
