What Dads Really Want this Father’s Day is…

It’s Father’s Day on Sunday, and we are looking forward to spoiling hubby to breakfast in bed and spending quality time on his special day, reminding him how much we love him!

We all love spoiling our dads, but do we really know what they want this Father’s Day?

A new research by Tassimo revealed the difference between children and parents’ expectations of gifts. While nearly three quarters of children are splashing the cash on flashy gifts, a whopping 85% of fathers revealed that all they really want is a card and a catch up over a cuppa with their child on this special day.

According to kids, dads would prefer to receive a bottle of alcohol, closely followed by a gadget and tickets to football match. I know that hubby probably like all those gifts, but he is one of the dads that would be more than happy with a card and spending time together with little man.

The survey found that dads are not too bothered with material gifts, with over a third hoping for a visit from their child so they can catch up over a cuppa or even a simple phone call or text that shows that their kid is thinking of them.

Staying in with the family is also the new going out as nearly two-fifths of dad’s revealed that their ideal father’s day is spent enjoying quality time with their child at home. A third of kids however believe their dad would most like to go out for lunch or dinner with family and friends; with a quarter thinking they’d enjoy a lie-in with breakfast in bed. 

Hubby likes having breakfast in bed, we will be treating him to full English breakfast with a hot cup of coffee, perhaps followed by hot chocolate with marshmallows. 

Tassimo stocks a range of gifts including hot drinks brewers, accessories and a delicious range of beverages from the likes of Costa, Twinings, Cadbury, Oreo and more. So for dads that are notoriously difficult to shop for, as many seem to have everything, kids are sure to find something from Tassimo that will hit the spot.  You can find out more at www.tassimo.co.uk.
