FATHERLY LOVE


Hey Daddio, it's nearly your day!

I am certainly one of the lucky ones.  My Dad is the best.  Everyone loves him - he's easy to be around, funny, a bit of a MacGuyver (click here for a refresher), and always puts family first.  I am the only daughter to my parents and fell perfectly into the role as "daddy's little girl."  Now that I am (almost) grown-up with my own family, I am tickled to have Dave be the rockstar Dad that he is to our two little girls.  To them, I am the appliance and he's the toy - adventurous and fun-loving.  Father's day is a great day for me to celebrate the awesome dads in my life including an amazing father-in-law and grandfather... lucky me, lucky me.

I came across this awesome ad from canadian club released for father's day a few years ago with fabulous vintage pics:

What to do for dad on father's day?  How about starting the day off with some Beer and Bacon Mancakes! I found this on pinterest, and although it gave me the dry heaves, there are a few men in my life that would think this is the cat's ass! 
Get the recipe here!
INGREDIENTS:

What to buy for Dad? Please no ties... that's so 1950's!  How about upping his cool factor with a new pair of shades? These Carrera's are awesome:
Buy at Holt Renfrew


If he's the outdoorsy, sporty type and doesn't own a GoPro, I suggest you grab one.  They are everywhere and so very easy to get last minute. Perfect for biking, surfing, snowboarding, skiing etc. Check out www.gopro.com.

If he's into vino, the Marquis on Davie Street has a regular updated list of 12 great wines under $20.00. Decisions made easy! And cheap enough that you can buy a few and not worry if you don't like one:)

I just read about the ManCakes (not the pancake kind) Bakery in the Vancouver Sun this morning. Really? That's some serious out of the box thinking! They have 10 unique flavoured cupcakes including Buffalo Wing, Rum and Coke and of course Bacon Chili Chocolate.  Order the Dad's with evolved cupcake taste buds a day or night 6 pack online.

  Here are a few greeting card selections from www.flauntshop.com to finish your gift off:
