Fathers Day is making significant gains in popularity.
Once known as the forgotten holiday, the National Retail Foundation reported in 2014 that Father’s Day was the smallest American gift-giving holiday.
This year, 75% of consumers say they will celebrate Father’s Day and Father’s Day spending is projected to reach $22.4 billion this year, according to a yearly survey by the NF anRd Prosper Insights & Analytics. It is the second-highest figure in the survey’s history, following last year’s record of $22.9 billion.
Despite shoppers planning to spend an average $189.81 on gifts and celebrations, #dad’sdaydisappointment is bound to still be a trending hashtag in the days after Fathers Day, when fathers across the nation unwrap ties, cologne, Hawaiian shirts and bargain-rack golf, fishing and barbecue tools.
