With Father's Day due to be celebrated on 18 June,retailers around the world are set to enjoy a significantboost. But while the amount of money we all spend onFather's Day continues to go up every year, it still trailsfar behind Mother's Day. Dr Lars Perner, a consumerpsychologist at the University of Southern California,says that most of us simply think our mothersdeserve better or bigger presents whereas perhapsdads are also less interested in tangible tokens ofappreciation. Also, retailers have long made a big pushon Mother's Day because demand for gift-giving was strong, and Father's Day more of anafterthought.
