The modern, and some would say, commercial Father’s Day of western culture probably has it’s roots in America – introduced as a balance for the more traditional and historic event of Mothers Day. Grace Golden Clayton of West Virginia, is believed to have been inspired to celebrate fathers after a mine exploded in nearby Monongah at the turn of the century killing almost 400 men. So she decided to establish an event specifically to recognise fathers.

But, in the Roman Catholic tradition, Fathers are celebrated on Saint Joseph’s Day, commonly called the Feast of Saint Joseph, on March 19. Joseph was the father of Jesua and San José is the patron of the Catholic church.

In the Anglican world however, it is June that is most commonly reserved for the occasion.

In early times, flowers were worn to celebrate Father’s Day. Today, it is more common to give a present. And this Father’s Day could be an opportunity to gift your father (or grandfather) a more meaningful present – a gift with real significance.

Would your father appreciate a special present with real meaning this Father’s Day?

Send your Dad a special and meaningful present this Fathers Day and make him feel more loved and appreciated.

Product Details

. . with the good luck qualities of a Gecko

This striking piece is a stunning example of Spanish ceramic art. It is made in the northeast of Spain, famous for its Mediterranean seafronts along the Costa Brava and Costa Dorada, and of course for its culture and art. (Cataluña, or Catalonia was the birthplace of painter Salvador Dalí and Antoni Gaudi).

It is said that a Gecko can bring good fortune, protection from adversity, and a fun-filled passion for life.

This ceramic piece is intricately finished in the Catalan modernism style . . a form of architectural art seen typically in Barcelona's Parc Guell. Each piece is hand-painted in dazzling colours to produce a beautiful and uniquely-crafted figurine that would make a delightful present . . and a unique gift from Spain.

Description: This lovely Mediterranean blue Gecko / salamander figurine measures approx 16cms (6.3ins) long by 9cms (3.5ins) at its widest part. It has a hanging arrangement on the underside so that it can be wall mounted, or stand alone either in the home or office. The hand-painted, porcelain-like finish is simply stunning in its detail and is an intricate piece of Spanish ceramic art. Because each one is individually painted, each figurine is distinct and so no single one is exactly the same as another (so figures may differ slightly from the photos here).

In many cultures, Geckos are said to be lucky (as well as being thought of as guardians) and blessed with a fearless passion for life. So perhaps this Gecko figurine will help protect a friend or loved-one from adversity, and pass on its good luck qualities - and even recall memories of a fun time had on a trip to the Mediterreanean or other warmer climes.

So this Gecko figurine, something special from Spain, would make a truly unique gift for a housewarming / new home present, a birthday, or perhaps for luck to achieve a goal - like starting something new. (Or even for a person that just loves geckos!) It is bound to attract admiring comments. Please Note: To preserve its fine features, it is best to keep this figurine indoors, or at least under-cover if outside.
