Millions of us will be celebrating our dads this weekend - Father's Day is Sunday!
What will you get for dad?
A recent Canadian consumer survey found the most popular purchases for dad are food and barbecue supplies along with special dinners and treats. Gift cards, apparel and tools are also in the top five.
It's interesting to note, 33% of shoppers plan on getting dad something from the grocery store, 38% will shop at other stores with 39% saying they've ordered something online.
Another recent survey found 22% of dads said the worst Father's Day gift they ever received was "nothing" but, 15% of dads surveyed said they don't want any gifts at all and 60% said what they want most is quality time with their children.
And this should take some pressure off if you're not sure what to get your father. 91% of Canadian dads agree that the "thought counts" more than the price for Father's Day gifts.
Happy Father's Day!
