Gifts are a part of Father’s Day. Sometimes it’s difficult to find the perfect gift idea that says, “I love you dad, and I appreciate all the sacrifices you’ve made for me.” Whether your dad is a gadget guru, sports fan, or a home improvement enthusiast, Nextpert editor in chief Katlean de Monchy recommends gifts will show your appreciation and will really wow him. The NRF 2007 Father’s Day Consumer Intentions and Actions Survey: Spending on Father’s Day this year is anticipated to reach $9 billion, up from last year’s $8.2 billion. When it comes to spending on gifts for Dad, the average person is expected to spend $88.80, compared to the $122.16 spent earlier this year on Mom. Noticeable favorites for Dad are gift certificates (27%), and special meals or outings (38.1%).

Segment Description: More Hollywood hunks are heading down the daddy track such as Brad Pitt, Sir Paul McCartney, and Tom Cruise. But for the more than 66 million fathers of all ages living in the U.S., the rest of us have to figure out how to show them the recognition they deserve. This makes Father’s Day the perfect opportunity to say thank you. More about Nextpert Editor-in-Chief Katlean de Monchy: Katlean de Monchy keeps America in the know about the new.
