All about Dad

Published

on

According to an old joke, Father’s Day is mainly about giving Dad a new tie.
But, the fact is, ties are not at the top of the list.

According to statisticbrain.com, the top gift for the 68 million fathers is going to dinner or a sports event, followed by clothing. Interestingly, in 2015 research, Dads said they really wanted a card or something homemade for Father’s Day.

More than 70 percent of Dads said that Father’s Day improved their relationships with their children. More than 65 percent said a gift on Father’s Day increased their satisfaction as a parent.
