Honor thy Father.


Father’s Day is Sunday, June 17th.  Do you know that the average spending this year (according to the National Retail Federation’s latest survey) will be up 10% to $117.14!  Sorry Dad, Mother’s Day spending is more in the range of $152.00.  Typical gifts include those shiny new golf clubs, the hottest electronic gadgets, a new smartphone or a new grill.  He might not be expecting the ‘royal treatment’ but he doesn’t have much of a say as his loved ones want to be sure it is a great day!  Many department stores have their shelves stocked.  Great gifts include a new shirt, tie, aftershave, cologne or even new boxers.  I love shopping at Von Maur as they will wrap and ship your gifts for free.  A great, customer focused store….not many like them left.  Remember, there are many types of dads out there:  fathers, stepfathers, husbands, sons, grandfathers, brothers and friends.  Don’t wait till the card shop only has bent cornered cards left.  Get shopping today so you can check it off your list.
