Worst Father’s Day Gifts Revealed
Thanks to a survey conducted 89% of people think dads are hard to buy for – RedBalloon busts the myth “The worst father’s day gift I ever received was an assortment of cheeses and a laundry basket,” was the response from one poor dad. A new survey by RedBalloon.com.au reveals Aussie dads want memorable experiences and hugs for Father’s Day; not socks, jocks or power tools. “Kiss the socks goodbye and show dad he means the world to you with a day fishing, a spin in a V8 or a helicopter flight over the ocean,” said RedBalloon acting CEO Kristie Buchanan.

FYI: Almost all dads love a hug (98%), and 33% would be happy to receive nothing else this Father’s Day.
