The National Retail Federation surveys the purchasing intentions of US consumers during the major holiday periods. We have used their research to pinpoint the total gift sales in the US; which we feel totals about $115 Billion annually. Gift retailing is an important portion of our business model, so we are happy to find this important market research.

One of their measured holidays is Father’s Day, which they say will yield $9.8 Billion in sales for the nation’s retailers this year. The NRF survey found that the average father will receive $94.32 in attention this year. But not all of the spending will be on gifts; about 40% will be on food and entertainment. Still, gifts will get a majority of the retail spending this Father’s day period.

It is great to know that holidays like Mother’s and Father’s Day get so much attention from our pocketbooks. It is a demonstration of the love and support that exists within families, even when social scientist are suggesting that we are become more disconnected. When we add the $14.6 Billion we spent on Mom this year to what we will spend on Dad, it shows the family love in a big way.

Our family uses gifts and group activities to make these holidays as supportive and caring as possible. We hope that all Dad’s will have a great day…

We know that the retailers will be happy!

By holding a white elephant party, you’ll be sure to make your dad feel special this Father’s Day.

Maybe you could get a group of your friends and dads together – the sons and daughters bring the gifts, but it’s the dads who play the gift exchange game! They get to unwrap, steal and swap gifts in the usual way, without having to actually bring any. It is their day, after all! Meanwhile, you and your friends can be waiting on them hand and foot: bringing them drinks and snacks, or perhaps even preparing an unforgettable Father’s Day meal for them to enjoy once the game is over. Father’s Day gift giving just became a whole lot more fun!

Or maybe you’d just like to keep it in the family, and make your Dad the celebrity guest. So many people spend time searching for unusual Father’s Day gifts, but why not make the Father’s Day gift giving itself special? Make sure that all the gifts are things that he’d love to receive, and possibly even change the rules slightly in his favor!

Be creative and imaginative, and you’ll make Father’s Day 2009 a celebration that your dad will remember!
