The 22 Coziest Father's Day Gifts For Homebody Dads

Whether it be for Father's Day, a holiday or birthday gift, I am definitely among the many who find it difficult to shop for their dad. However, I find that things get easier when I try to hone in on meaningful gifts that he'll actually enjoy and that are representative of who he is as a person, as opposed to just grabbing a generic 'man gift.' And while whiskey stones and camping accessories are all well and good, not every dad is a big drinker or outdoor aficionado.

When, what is Juneteenth? What to know about the origins, history of the federal holiday

The Fourth of July is just under a month away. Although Independence Day is, for many Americans, synonymous with freedom, July 4, 1776 was not a day of independence for enslaved Americans. Enslaved Black Americans had to wait almost 100 more years for independence, a day that's observed on June 19 every year, called 'Juneteenth.' Often referred to as 'Black Independence Day' or 'Second Independence Day,' Juneteenth commemorates the day that the news of the Emancipation Proclamation made it to enslaved people in the south – years after it was actually signed. Here's when Juneteenth 2025 is, what it is and why it's celebrated. What is Juneteenth? A quick explainer before the important holiday Juneteenth, celebrated on June 19 every year, commemorates the day the news of Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation reached the south – almost three years after Lincoln signed the proclamation that started the end of slavery in the U.S. Short for 'June Nineteenth,' the holiday marks the day when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas to take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people be freed, on June 19, 1865, says. The troops arrived with the news a full two-and-a-half years after the signing of the proclamation. And although the day is extremely significant and the longest-running Black holiday in the U.S., the emancipation proclamation was only the beginning of Black Americans' fight for freedom. 'June 19th freed enslaved people in the rebelling states, it did not free enslaved people throughout the nation. Keep in mind, there were still border states which were still part of the Union,' Mary Elliott, Curator of American Slavery at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), said on the museum's website. 'They had not seceded from the Union, and they still maintained slavery. Maryland, for example, was one of them. It took the creation of the Emancipation Proclamation, the end of the Civil War, and the passage of the 13th Amendment to finally end slavery throughout the nation.' Other reconstruction amendments also helped solidify freedom for formerly enslaved Black Americans, Elliott said. The 14th and 15th Amendments granted citizenship, due process and equal protection to freed slaves and provided them the opportunity to vote and hold office. Juneteenth 2025 will fall on Thursday, June 19. There isn't one overarching theme for all Juneteenth celebrations nationwide, but the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture's 2025 Juneteenth event is titled 'Power in the past, strength in the future!' Yes. This year will be the fourth year that Juneteenth is observed as a federal holiday. It was established as a federal holiday under former President Joe Biden in 2021. 'In 2021, Juneteenth was established as a federal holiday, opening it to symbolic and global interpretation and providing a better understanding of the evolution of our nation and its people,' The NMAAHC website says. 'Juneteenth celebrations then, like now, recognize the ongoing fight for human rights and equality and are commemorated through family cookouts, faith services, musical performances and storytelling.' There are two main flags that people wave on Juneteenth. One is a blue and red flag with a white, five-pointed bursting white star in the center. The other is the African Liberation Flag, which was created in 1920 and is broken into three horizontal color blocks: red, black and green. Here are the meanings behind each flag, according to the NMAAHC: Juneteenth flag: The colors are the same as the American flag – red white and blue. This represents that the people freed in Texas were American citizens. The five-point star is a symbol for Texas (the Lone Star State), where the Juneteenth holiday started. The big starburst around the five-point star represents the spread of freedom. The African Liberation Flag (created in 1920): This flag was designed to represent the story of the unity among people from Africa. The red stripe represents struggle and sacrifice. The black stripe represents Black people. The green stripe represents the natural wealth of the land of Africa.

Forget wheat pennies. How many Indiana pennies are in your couch cushions?

As the U.S. phases out production of pennies, you might be checking your couch cushions or your vacuum for coins that could be worth more than one cent. You also may want to keep an eye out for these redesigned pennies made in 2009 for the bicentennial anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth. They may not be worth millions, but they commemorate the time the 16th president spent in Indiana. In 2009, Congress authorized pennies designed to commemorate four locations in Lincoln's geographical history. The four coins also recognized the 100th anniversary of the first year the Lincoln cent was produced. "Abraham Lincoln was born in Kentucky, grew to adulthood in Indiana, achieved fame in Illinois and led the nation in Washington, D.C.," the law reads. Indiana's coin shows a young Lincoln sitting on a log, reading a book. It's meant to depict his time in Indiana from 1816 to 1830. "The design on this coin captures this part of Lincoln's life by showing him reading while he takes a break from his work as a rail splitter," according to the U.S. Mint website. Read about all four coins in the Lincoln Bicentennial One Cent Program at The federal government made its final order of penny blanks in May 2025 — the first step to end the production of the 1-cent coin, a spokesperson for the Treasury Department confirmed to USA TODAY. "The United States Mint will continue to manufacture pennies while an inventory of penny blanks exists," the spokesperson said. The agency did not specify how long the inventory was expected to last, so it's unclear exactly when pennies will no longer be in circulation. Blanks are flat metal discs that eventually become coins, according to the U.S. Mint. In February, Trump instructed the Treasury Department to stop minting the low-value coins. 'For far too long the United States has minted pennies which literally cost us more than 2 cents. This is so wasteful!' Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. Elon Musk, who has started to scale back his work as head of Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, said in January that penny production in fiscal year 2023 cost taxpayers more than $179 million. In fiscal year 2024, it took 3.7 cents to produce and distribute one penny, according to the 2024 U.S. Mint report. The 2024 cost was up by 20% from the previous year, according to the report. The report said the increase was partly driven by the rising costs of metals like zinc and copper. Similarly, the nickel costs 13.8 cents to produce, according to the U.S. Mint. Penny production: What's next for the penny? The details on US decision to end production So-called "wheat pennies" get their name from the back of the coin having stalks of wheat encircling the "One Cent" text. They were produced from 1909 to 1958. After that, the wheat stalks were shorn and pennies began displaying an engraving of the Lincoln Memorial. Most Lincoln wheat pennies are not super-valuable and are worth just a few cents more than one cent. However, some may escalate into the hundreds of dollars, depending on the condition and when minted. Certain vintages, especially with minting errors, may be worth thousands.

Did you know Indiana has its own?
