JRFM – Father’s Day Gift Guide

Natalie Langston

BY:

On today’s JRFM segment we chat all things Father’s Day. But honestly I can’t even believe it’s June! Seriously?!!! Where did the time go? Just so you know, wink wink…. it’s on Sunday, June 19th, that’s NEXT Sunday… AHH, so make sure to mark it in your calendars.

Ok let’s be real it’s tough coming up with something new to give Dad each year, I know that’s how I feel. I celebrate my Grandpa and he has everything, EVERYTHING. I’ve got you covered. I put together all the best gifts for Dad for every type of DAD; gifts for the cook, for the intellectual, or the ‘techy’, the Dapper Dad, the camper and more. In addition, 3 ways to celebrate with him.

Listen Live to the On-Air Segment

1. For the Culinary Enthusiast  you can grab one of these delicious gifts from Edible Canada!! I would recommend the mango salsa. It’s local, hand-cut and spicy and it’s sure to turn anyone into a cilantro lover. Also pick up an epic Canadian cookbook or a MUST-TRY caesar mix, as there are lots of options. You can pick up these products at the Granville Island retail store or online. Just for JRFM listeners, I have a discount code with 10% off all online orders. Enter the code JRFM at checkout until Father’s Day.

2. For the Intellectual Dad the Kobo Glo HD or Kobo Aura H20 make a great Father’s Day gifts! The Kobo Glow is their newest device that offers a comfortable reading experience; while the Kobo Aura H20 is waterproof and lets you read practically everywhere – whether it’s on the boat, in the pool or even just on the couch. Both devices allow you to read in direct sunlight, are super light and can carry thousands of books.

3. A great ‘techy’ gift is the Jabra Solmate Mini bluetooth portable speaker, which is perfect because it’s so small you can take it anywhere: fishing, to the beach, even on a bike ride! Another great gift, perhaps for the NEW dad is the Nest Cam Wi-Fi Video Camera so you can see everything that matters, like you new bundle in the nursery.

For the Dapper Dad, The Modern Gent’s Shaving Kit includes all of his everyday grooming essentials or help him keep his skin soft with the Hemp Moisture High Expert Gift Set featuring moisture renewing favourites such as the Hemp Hand Protector. Forget about #dadpants, pick up a pair of the modern and refined khakis by Dockers. There’s everything Dad could want from casual skinny pants to refined khakis to cool shirts. And you can never go wrong with some Cologne by Hugo Boss. I’ve linked to the perfect blend for Dad, you can pick up at London Drugs.

5. For the Fit Dad, of course get him this state of the art Fitbit Blaze in black or the new memoir Shoe Dog by the creator of Nike, Phil Knight.

I included some Classic Dad gifts, great for the camper and perfect to take along on our Harrison Hot Springs getaway. The Great Canadian Weekender Bag, Laptop Backpack, or the Brew & Travel Tumbler. All available at Indigo stores across Canada and online. 

It’s also what you DO with Dad that matters and can be extra memorable. I’ve included 3 ways to spoil Dad this Father’s Day.

Splurge a little and take Dad for Brunch downtown at one of the many Glowbal Group locations. The new Glowbal has an incredible Father’s Day Brunch that I can guarantee will be a big hit with Dad. 100+ of your favourite brunch items!! We want to help make brunch extra special and give you a $100 gift card. See the end of this blog post for details.
