Marketplace: Father’s Day Gift Ideas

This Sunday is Father’s Day. Does this mean that you’ll be spoiling your dad with a crafty tie greeting card or golf accessories? I’ve given my dad a variety of gifts over the years, some of which I rounded up in this post (just in case you’re looking for a last-minute gift idea). I’ve been a student forever, so naturally my Dad has a collection of university t-shirts, sweatshirts, and mugs from a variety of Ontario universities. It’s been a really convenient gift to buy since I could shop in between classes. Luckily, dad loves them (or pretends to) and wears them all the time.

My dad seems to like anything that has the letter “B” on it (to match his first name, of course). Because of this, I’ve given him loads of “B” presents like the ones below (though not necessarily in white – my dad likes colour).

Another go-to gift idea for the B-man is wine. Red. Any brand, price point, and country of origin will do.

A final successful go-to gift for my dad has been anything and everything related to the BBQ.

I know my dad is reading this post, so I can’t reveal what he’s going to get this year. Hint – it’s something from the list above! Why ruin a good thing, right?

Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Father’s Day to those who celebrate!

      Agreed! He loves it and uses it regularly. I also bought one recently and it works like a charm!
