The National Retail Federation released a study that the average person will spend $94.32 on dad for Father’s Day … almost $5 billion less than that spent on Mother’s Day.

Let's be honest, there are some gifts that just miss the mark. Ties and socks or a singing “Big Mouth Billy Bass” come to mind. But if your dad is like my dad, he’ll probably smile and say thanks just the same.

Whether you spoil him with lots of gifts or show your love with a simple gesture, the whole idea of Father’s Day is to simply make dad feel appreciated.

If golf is his game, a quiet afternoon watching the U.S. Open is a good option. Or, you can buy dad a swanky new shirt and a pair of casual slacks at Texas’ first Bobby Chan, which recently opened at Market Street between Cru and Sur La Table. Wine aficionados might enjoy a wine tasting experience with winemaker Dr. Frederick Frank, founder of the Vinifera Wine Cellars. Part of The Woodlands Wine & Food Week, this event starts Sunday at 2 p.m. and includes a leisurely water taxi ride along The Woodlands Waterway.

So dads, what are the best and worst gifts you’ve received for Father’s Day?
