Great Father’s Day Gifts that Are Easy on the Wallet

Shoppers can stretch their gifting budget and still give unforgettable gifts for Dad with Excitations life experiences

Sterling, VIRGINIA (May 29, 2008) – Lingering economic uncertainties have Father’s Day shoppers seeking memorable gifts that leave a lasting impression on Dad – but not on their wallets. With the National Retail Federation’s recent survey indicating that consumers plan to cut back a bit this year and spend an average of $94.54 on a gift for Dad, shoppers can still find exciting, unforgettable gifts – like hang gliding or riding in a stock car – without breaking the bank.

With a wide variety of experiences starting at $50 and up, Excitations, the nation’s premier online experience gift company offers shoppers a refreshing, affordable alternative to traditional gifts like ties, cufflinks, and barbeque aprons.

“A great way to stretch your gifting dollar is to give an experience that Dad can share,” said Nancy Lamberton, co-founder of Excitations. “Maybe your dad and grandpa would love to learn to fly fish together. Or for more family time together, give Dad a City Garden Family Bike Tour. Sharing a special memory is a wonderful gift.”
