A new survey ranked some of the most popular Father’s Day gifts by how much dads actually WANT them. Just to be special this list holds the top….11 gifts. You might be surprised at what is ACTUALLY on this list. So, for you procrastinators out there, you still have plenty of time to pull off most of these gifts.

1.  A day with the family, 57%.

2.  Electronics and gadgets, 37%.

3.  Gift card, 37%.

4.  Home-cooked meal, 36%.

5.  Pictures of their children or grandchildren, 34%.

6.  A hand-made card, 32%.

7.  Tools, 31%.

8.  Cooking equipment, like a grill or smoker, 28%.

9.  Sports equipment or memorabilia, 28%.

10.  Jewelry or accessories, 9%.

11.  A tie, 7%.

Yes. A tie is ACTUALLY on the list. I have been slowing buying my dad a collection of books from Patrick McManus  for the last few Father’s Days. I think after this year that collection is done. I might be resorting to a tie next year.
