Baltimore, MD - When it comes to spending money on our dads, the average is about $95 dollars. That is one of the lowest spending dollar amounts for gifts of any of the 'holidays' in this country. However, we will spend on our dads, so on Good Morning Maryland @ 9 we showed off a few ideas from local stores.

Megan got the sneak peak at the gift ideas from Christine Carter from Epps Consulting. Christine showed off a few simple ideas from a unique chess set to a new creative toy using hundreds of small magnetic balls to a recycled messenger bag.

To see the ideas and learn more about them, click on the video box to the left of this article.
