"Last Word"-Presents For Dad
Tuesday, June 10, 2008SUSIE GHARIB: And finally, it seems many dads will receive a gift card for Father's Day this year; at least, those who are getting a present will. Thirty six percent of adults plan to give gift certificates, according to a survey from Discover card. One surprising note: 52 percent of respondents are not planning to buy anything for their fathers. For those who are, most men plan to spend an average of $90 on a gift, while women will on average spend $50. Half of the father's polled feel 50 bucks or less is appropriate. And Paul, as with previous years, most fathers are hoping for a home-made present or dinner at a restaurant.
KANGAS: How about a homemade dinner?
GHARIB: That sounds very good. What happened to the barbeques?
