Dad can be surprisingly fun to shop for when the gift is something he’ll actually use, wear, read, sip and share at the family BBQ. Father’s Day is a chance to celebrate the dads, father figures, grandfathers, partners and caregivers who often show up quietly, steadily and behind the scenes. The ones who don’t spoil themselves. This year, encourage a little self-care, refresh his everyday basics or choose something that elevates what he already loves. Here are some Canadian Father’s Day gift picks sure to make him smile. —Jenn Wint
