Father’s Day gift Ideas

An interesting revelation was made during a student’s research about Mothers day and Fathers day. It was found that mother’s day celebrations lasted for about two hours longer than father’s day celebrations. Yet mothers were less satisfied than the fathers about the celebrations. This simply reveals that fathers are easy to satisfy than the mothers.

Other findings of the research were

· in activities and the giving of gifts, families underscored the traditional notions of mothers as nurturers and fathers as providers, even when both parents work outside the home and advocate an equal division of domestic labor

· most of the ways Mother's Day is celebrated—taking Mom out to dinner, releasing her from household chores for the day, and visiting other family members—are tied to the traditional notions of mothers as parents and nurturers

· Fathers, on the other hand, were less likely to be taken out to dinner or to visit family, and their gifts revolved around either work—neckties—or individualistic personal pursuits—golf clubs and fishing rods

· Disappointment was more common among mothers than fathers, with the cause usually family-centered: an inappropriate gift, a fight, a cranky child

Keep these findings in mind an impress your father on the father’s day with an appropriate father’s day gift. You can even check out father’s day sales.
