With Father’s Day just a few days away, I’m here to help with some great last minute ideas that’ll (hopefully) impress Dad this Sunday!
Outdoor Dad
Summer is here and so are the mosquitos.
But lucky for us Canadians Mark’s has just released the first and only mosquito repellent clothing in Canada!
With the active plant based ingredient permethrin infused into its threads, Mark’s ‘No Fly Zone‘ line of clothing provides odorless, invisible and long-lasting protection.
No more need to spray and Dad will be looking great!
The Sugar Daddy
Off the shelf chocolate bars are great, but now you can play chocolatier and design your own with (or for) Dad!
Master Chocolat’s new storefront in Calgary’s Marda Loop has a literal chocolate BAR with an array of organic add ins to make a truly customized creation.
Using tempered chocolate and a blast chiller, you’ll play Willy Wonka as you perfect your personalized bar!
Retro Pop
Any dad born in the 80’s or 90’s has undoubtedly donned the iconic Chip & Pepper brand.
And while those fashions are probably still hidden away in his ‘keep’ box, he’ll now have the opportunity to rock the tie-dye again with a new brand that has a lot of the same feels!
Lake of the Woods is the new collection of wearables from the fashion superstar Chip Foster (of Chip & Pepper)
The new line pays homage to his summers lakeside in Ontario, his eclectic style and his iconic original C&P brand.
Dad Shoes
“Dad Shoes” are back and they are hotter than ever!
I don’t know a Dad that hasn’t rocked the TEVA’s in his past and with their recent epic comeback, he’ll rise like the phoenix in them again!
But this time things are even cooler as iconic Canadian brand Herschel has partnered with Teva to create a limited edition, stylized version of the classics.
The Teva Hurricane XLT2 Alp sandal brings together the rugged Hurricane outsole and 90’s-era Alp crossover straps to create a new roam-ready icon. Created with materials designed exclusively for Herschel Supply, each pair of sandals also comes with a Herschel branded cinch shoe bag.
Dad Knows Best
Not sure that any of these are perfect for Dad? Then take dad shopping to Holt Renfrew this weekend and take advantage of their incredible complimentary in-store offerings while you’re there!
From June 14 – 16, Artist Stephanie Fowler from Design by Streetlight, will be on location, set to sketch dad!
Create an unforgettable memory and watch dad be immortalized in ink as Stephanie creates a live fashion sketch of him in about 10 minutes!
This is an unique opportunity not to be missed!
Hopefully these ideas will have you armed and ready for Father’s Day this Sunday!
