Father’s Day is coming up Sunday June 18th and we think dad deserves to be celebrated and spoiled. Father’s Day is an opportunity to give great gifts that show gratitude and appreciation for all of his love and bad jokes. Sometimes it’s hard to think outside the sock box for what might really make him smile so we’ve done the research for you. Here are some incredible Canadian brands and gift ideas any dad, grandad, step dad, uncle or caregiver will love. And don’t worry, for the traditional folks, we’ve included a tie on our list. –Jenn Wint
The jet setting dad will love this modern and highly functional, yet timeless limited edition collection. Monos Terracotta Luggage is made with an unbreakable polycarbonate shell, ultra-sturdy telescopic handle, TSA-approved lock, whisper-quiet wheels, vegan leather details, and all-premium materials.

For the dad who likes to cook or add flavour, pick up a hot sauce sample pack from To The Next Journey. Made in Squamish, BC, these tasty sauces are vegan friendly, gluten free, and preservative free. The sample pack includes three flavours Habanero, Pineapple and Jalapeño hot sauces to pair with any kind of summer meal dad can dream up.
Dad could (and probably will) spend all day in the Wolf & the Crane bamboo jersey pjs from Nest Designs. Stylish and practical, just like dad, these PJs are buttery soft, lightweight, and breathable. The bamboo-cotton blend style is neutral enough he can even get away with wearing them to the grocery store!
Keep dad’s food and drinks cold everywhere from the campsite to the cabin to the backyard all summer long. The Arctic Roto Moulded Cooler from Woods has multi-day ice retention and is certified grizzly bear resistant. Its durable roto-moulded construction offers maximum durability for whatever adventure awaits. This cooler holds food and drinks for the whole family and won’t leak.
Dad will love adding this herbal remedy to his routine to help his body cope with stress and promote overall well-being. Ashwagandha has also been traditionally used to support sexual health and improve fertility. Organic Ashwagandha from MORNINGS is GMO-free, vegan, gluten-free drops that can enhance libido, improve sperm quality, and regulate reproductive hormone levels. They also improve muscle strength and immunity.
This award-winning memoir by Jesse Thistle makes a great summer read for Dad. The story explores the life of a Métis-Cree man from the foster-care system to homelessness and back into the circle of his Indigenous culture and family. From the Ashes: My Story of Being Métis, Homeless, and Finding My Way explores themes of prejudice, racism, love, and support.

Pair the jumper with matching tearaway pants or sport shorts.
Keep the sun off dad’s face this summer in a Mino Giizhigaad cap from streetwear brand Aaniin. The syllabics on this hat are Ojibwe. Mino means “good” or “nice”, giizhigaad means “it is day”.

The Peppermint 1:1 Pain Relief Stick from Birch + Fog offers a deep cooling sensation, reducing inflammation, back pain, arthritis, muscular aches and spasms, sprains and rheumatism. With essential oils and antioxidants, dad will love the relaxation.
Designed by Kwakwaka’wakw artist Francis Dick, this Eagle Freedom silk tie will elevate the style of any suit, day or night. The orca in the wing of the eagle symbolises family, and protection which is a perfect Father’s Day fit.
