Yep, why I asked.
Father’s Day spending is expected to reach a record $27.9 billion this year, according to the National Retail Federation’s annual survey, conducted by Prosper Insights & Analytics. That’s up about 16% from a year ago.
More than half of Father’s Day celebrators (55%) plan to treat Dad to a special outing, surpassed only by greeting cards (60%) and clothing (58%). The average person is expected to spend $227, up from $199 a year ago, the group said.
