Even if you're spending the latter, your present still falls under the average gift price, which is $115.57, according to a report by the National Retail Federation (NRF).

The number is actually up a couple of dollars from last year's figure, $113.80, and was determined by a poll of 6,087 consumers.

More than half (51.8%) of those polled said they were shopping for their father or stepfather, while 27.6% said they were shopping for a spouse and 8.9% said they were buying something for a son.

Good news for dads who receive a gift bought online: The average cost of a Father's Day gift purchased online is $157. The NRF notes that three in 10 consumers polled will buy dad's gift online this year.
