Father's Day is never quite such the big commercial event that Mother's Day is, probably because it hasn't been in existence for so long. Most people would buy their fathers a card. Some people do buy presents as well. Popular gifts for Dads are probably ties, chocolates or socks because these are things that Dads can always use even if they don't want them. In the run-up to Father's Day, there will be advertisements on the TV giving us ideas of CDs or gadgets we can buy. Card shops will be full of mugs or pens and similar merchandise with nice messages on them. Some families might do things together to celebrate Father's Day like going for a meal. As a special treat, people might give their Dad a bit of a rest - make him a cup of tea, or even wash his car and mow the lawn to make him feel really appreciated.
