Ladies Fathers Day is fast approaching!

[Rocket Scientist]

If men like flowers, lockets, bracelets, chocolates, potpourri, kitchen utensils, and candles as much as women do, they'd have much more to market for them and it would be a more prevalent holiday. You say it gets hype but any time you see something about Mother's Day, they're trying to sell you something. The hype is in the money. Outside of that, both holidays are treated the same. They're called Hallmark Holidays for a reason

Sporting apparel,lawn mowers,ties,suits etc....Fathers Day has $$ in it too,it just doesn't get the hype.There may be a market for women because obviously y'all are main consumers but both days make most $$.I worked retail so I seen the marketing in both days.To sum it up maybe Chris Rock was right when he said all dads get is big piece of chicken

In a Sears or Walmart commercial, they'll show appliances and sporting apparel and electrical razors. I'll see a Men's Warehouse commercial for suits. Maybe a Footlocker ad. For women, there's literally a hundred more things that they're trying to get you to buy. I'll see a Steve Madden commercial, followed by Aerosoles then a Sketchers ad, then JCPenney telling you to 'splurge for the big day' , 20 shoe store ads, lingerie, makeup, jewelry, etc etc. And the shyt is, it is literally no different than advertisements any other time of the year. Most consumer ads are geared towards women in general because we make the most purchases.

The only difference is that for Mother's Day, the marketing companies just take it and flip it and tell you to buy this because this is where the women in your life usually buy. And since they're talking to you and not us, you'll notice it more.

Like I said, the hype is in the money.

I've tried. I can't do it. Jobs that involve constant interaction with customers are a no no for me

I gave my wife and kids the Public Service Announcement if they're going to just buy me bullshyt like a damn tie or socks all the time. The intent is nice at first but staying on that tip year after year...

Big Daddy likes a little more effort than that. I don't half-ass it when it comes to Mothers Day.
A nice bottle of cologne or some fly ass cufflinks is a nice change up.

My friend's wife and kids last year got him a damn coffee cup. Breh don't even drink coffee

My Dad doesn't live close to me so I get him something from Omaha Steaks-(not meaning to provide free advertising here)-I usually get him some nice steaks or seafood that he can grill or cook. He always likes them. I wish that he lived closer so I could do something more personal for him.
