Father's Day is Sunday, so you still have time to buy a new present if you botched it. You might actually have to walk into a store and buy it like it's 1994 or something, but at least there's time.
In a new survey, dads ranked the three WORST Father's Day gifts. They are . . .
3. Socks and underwear.
2. A tie.
1. FORGETTING . . . or not giving him anything at all.
The BEST gifts include: Photos of the kids, handmade gifts and cards, and just spending time with the family.
But when dads had to list gifts that actually cost money . . . in other words, the REAL gifts they want . . . they mentioned electronics, power tools, and sports gear and equipment.
If you want to go power tools, a separate survey found for the first time ever, more dads want power washers than drills.
