For the Love of Dad

We’re not saying that showering people with material possessions is the only way to say ‘I love you’. We’re just saying it helps. So if you’re looking for something special for a dad in your life (that’s this Sunday, by the way), we have a few ideas for you.

Slip an updated photo of your beloved and the kids into our favourite made-in-Canada picture frame from Homeworks Etc., a lovely sentimental gift that will bring a tear to his eyes (and yours). Buy it online for $39.99 or find a store near you. 

He doesn’t have to be a foodie to appreciate the witty writing and amazing travel tales in Steak—One Man’s Search for the Tastiest Piece of Beef, by Mark Schatzker. Mark is a renowned writer and satirist who happens to be mildly obsessed with beef—where it comes from and how it tastes. A good gift idea for that guy who’d like to go on the same search himself but never will (not that you would hold him back). Order the book online for $20.38 and check that item off the list.

Speaking of steak, it’s not just about the cut of the meat. It’s also how you cook it. Any man will agree that it’s best grilled. George Foreman himself couldn’t agree more, which is why he has a grill that can go wherever you do, so your meal is grilled to perfection no matter where you are. George 2Go Propane Grill & Griddle is portable so it’s great for picnics and tailgate parties, or if you need an extra grill for the cottage or backyard for entertaining. For $129.99, you can bring the party with you wherever you go. Available at Canadian Tire.

For inspiration when writing a nice message, we have this for you:
He didn’t tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.
Clarence Budington Kelland

For some help, in case you (both) need it, we have this for you:
Spread the diaper in the position of the diamond with you at bat. Then fold second base down to home and set the baby on the pitcher’s mound. Put first base and third together, bring up home plate and pin the three together. Of course, in case of rain, you gotta call the game and start all over again.
Jimmy Piersal, on how to diaper a baby, 1968

May you have a Happy Father’s Day filled with lots of sports, chicken wings and love. And be sure to book that mani-pedi for yourself this week, too.
