Father’s Day Gift Ideas

You’re all grown up now, so your Father’s Day gift ought to read ‘stylish’ and ‘mature’ rather than ‘goofy’ and ‘socks’.

  • The Local Space Boutique in Langley, BC sells Canadian-made products Dad would like, from bitters for his bar cart to classy snacks like “Everything Bagel Cashews." Highlights: Custom Cribbage Board ($70), smoked garlic seasoning by Triple Smoke ($8.99) 
     
  • Book him a space (or better yet, one for you, too) at the Chocolate & Spirits Tasting at Hummingbird Chocolate in Almonte, ON. 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm on Tuesday, June 18.
     
  • Go for simplicity with Slipacoff’s high end Steak Gift Boxes. Choose from Striploin, Ribeye, Tenderloin, Wagyu, and more. The meat comes in a fancy black presentation box. 
     
  • The Modern Shop’s collection of Father’s Day worthy gifts will suit budgets of all sizes; examples being the functional, portable, and cool Carrie Table Lamp by Audo Copenhagen ($385) to the colourful Everybody Grinder by Areaware ($62.90).
     
  • Treat your Father Figure to dinner with NeXT’s Father’s Day BBQ at Home, available for pick up June 15 or 16. The kit comes with marinated meat that you just throw on the BBQ, plus devine salads and sides and to finish: deep fried cheese cake. Or, take him to NeXT's incredible 13-dish sharing menu BBQ brunch.
