What Dad wants for Father’s Day

Dad can be really hard to buy for…whether it’s Father’s Day, his birthday, Christmas…whenever!

CardSnacks asked 1,000 Dads what they actually want for Father’s Day this year:

  • A gift card
  • Something food or drink related
  • Clothing or shoes
  • Electronics
  • Tickets to a concert or sporting event
  • Sporting goods
  • Books or music
  • Something for around the house
  • Self-care stuff, like a massage
  • Jewelry

Beauty and personal care products also made the list and get this…8% of dads said they’d like to get flowers Sunday.

(BTW you can get ALL of that at 30% off or more at CayugaMarketplace.com!)

If you think a simple social post will do, though, think again.

More than half say that won’t cut it…being “not important at all.”

May we suggest also entering him into our Dapper Dad Sweepstakes, too?
