LOS ANGELES, CA (June 11, 2013) According to the most recent data from the U.S. Census Bureau, there are more than 70 million fathers in the country – which means millions of children are stressing over what to give Dad for Father’s Day 2013. Personal finance site, GoBankingRates.com, understands that choosing the perfect gift is nerve-racking enough without having to worry about the expense too, and provides a guide to thoughtful but inexpensive Father’s Day gifts to give dads this Sunday (preview below).
Some of the most budget-friendly gifts are often not store-bought, but rather made by hand. Luckily, according to a new CreditDonkey survey, 24.7 percent of dads responded that they would like to receive something homemade for Father’s Day 2013.
