What Are You Giving Your Dad For Father's Day?

Mom may get more tender loving care on her day, but surveys show Dad will actually get more spent on him for his special day this year.

A recent survey concluded Americans will spend $13.3 billion on Father's Day 2013, according to an article in the Business Journals.

Of that, $2.5 billion will be spent on taking Dad to a dinner or a special event. Another $1.8 billion will be spent on clothing while $1.7 billion will be spent on electronic gadgets.

According to the survey, the average person plans to spend $119.84 on their father this year, up from $117.14 last year.

What do you plan to get your dad for Father's Day this Sunday? If you're taking him out, where are  you taking him? Is there a place in Pinole or Hercules that fathers tend to enjoy?

Let us know in the comments and Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there.
