Father’s Day Gift Guide!

Fathers are a girl’s first love and a boy’s first idol. It takes a very special man to be a dad and for that very reason, they deserve the best on Father’s Day and every single day.

I know it’s sometimes hard finding the perfect gift to show how much you care about him, especially if he’s the guy who has everything! Here’s a guide that can help you find that gift that is right just for the type of dad he is! Plus, did you know that 60% of Father’s Day purchases are made 1 week before the big day–so don’t feel bad about shopping last-minute!

So, what does dad really want for Father’s Day? A recent survey conducted by Sears says that more than one-third of Canadian dads (36 per cent) agreed the number one gift they would most like to receive for Father’s Day is fashion-related. Some have their eyes on a new suit, perfect shirt and tie that fits just right or they may be after a new pair of kicks, either a pair of sneakers or trendy boat shoes.

That only means one thing, maybe giving dad a stylish new tie or a pair of socks that make a statement may not be a bad idea–fashion dad is here to stay!
