\nFather’s Day, celebrating fatherhood and paternal bonds, has been officially observed in the United States on the third Sunday in June since President Richard Nixon proclaimed the holiday in 1972. In honor of the men their sons and daughters call “Dad,” here are five fun facts about Father’s Day.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The United States has twice as many hardware shops and three times as many sporting goods shops than men’s clothing stores. Yet for the 70.1 million fathers in the U.S., neckties remain the #1 most popular gift (although men themselves would rather receive electronics).<\/li>\n
  2. Older kids and family members love taking Dad out to dinner or on a special outing like a sporting event – $1.9 billion is spent annually on these activities for Father’s Day.<\/li>\n
  3. What are the most popular sayings or “Dadisms” attributed to fathers? “You’re going out looking like that?” and “There’s nothing a little duct tape won’t fix.”<\/li>\n
  4. 72% of Americans celebrate Father’s Day in some way.<\/li>\n
  5. More than 110 million greeting cards are exchanged on Father’s Day. A recent study shows about 50% of Father’s Day cards are sent to Dad; the other 50% are sent to grandfathers, uncles, sons, brothers, husbands, and other male relatives.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \n“Due to unforeseen circumstances, I was running late on ordering graduation announcements and started searching frantically online for a place to order. I came across Greeting Card Universe. I had never ordered from them before and was a little apprehensive. I was pleasantly surprised when my cards arrived in a timely fashion and they were beautiful. The quality far exceeded invites my friends had bought from the photographer. I will definitely shop here again.”- Dawn, June 11, 2013<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
