Today is Mothering Sunday, as you probably already know. Our church decided to celebrate this by giving each woman in the congregation today a small potted plant. A nice touch, I thought. But after church, as we were discussing this, we started to wonder what (if anything) all the men will be given on Fathering Sunday (which I don't think I've ever heard anyone call it before, but I suppose if I'm not going to refer to today by the commercialised "M*****'s D*y" term then I can't really talk about "F*****'s D*y" either). The main suggestion was a small tool kit or a screwdriver.
But seriously, flowers or plants are always a nice small gift for women, but what equivalent is there for men? If you're going to visit a male friend and want to take him a little gift, what should you get? (I keep thinking beer, which of course won't be to everyone's taste, and almost certainly won't be given out in church anytime soon...)
