Dads are more than twice as hard as mums to buy gifts for, Brits say

Dads are more than twice as hard to buy gifts for, compared to mums – with 44% telling their offspring, “I don't need anything”, when asked what they would like for Father's Day.

A poll of 2,000 adults who struggle to buy the perfect gift for Father's Day revealed that other unhelpful responses from their old man when searching for idea include, “I dunno” (17%), and “Save your money for something else” (27%).

As a result, 36% of those polled find the gift-buying process at least somewhat difficult, with 38% saying their father is the most challenging person to shop for – while just 15% say the same of their mum.
