FATHER'S DAY: The Best Gifts for Dad

Originally posted in The LOOK

I was lucky to have the best dad. The kind who made every outing an adventure, told the most epic of bedtime stories, and even taught us how to toss a football - then graciously concede that with 2 girls, tutus would inevitably win out over touchdowns, which they did. As we got older, my dad somehow managed (usually) to keep his cool and maintain his infectious sense of humour, even when his two teenage girls were having daily meltdowns over boys and bad hair days. And when we went off to school, it was never too early, or too late, to call my wonderful dad. In fact, I can't remember a single time that he said 'I'm too busy', even though I'm sure he often was. In my mind, my dad was the stuff of legends. Name a job and I'm sure he had it: lifeguard, bartender, pilot, truck driver, football coach, highschool teacher, ad exec. But the job he did best (and the one he loved most of all) was being our dad. 

For those of you looking for the perfect gift for your dad, we've rounded up our favourite finds for every type of guy, from the grill master to the gadget guru. And to all of the amazing guys out there who 'man up' every day to be a great dad, Happy Father's Day to you.

Dad Love

He might be more at ease with duct tape than drills.  He might be better at reclining than running a marathon. He often tells super lame jokes, and sometimes wears his socks a little too high.  And he definitely is not Fabio (thank GOODNESS..can you imagine?)  He is, however, your one and only dad, and when you think about it, would you really want him any other way?  From tools to treads to sporty accoutrements, these last-minute Father's Day finds will help thank your dad for a parental job well done.  We love you, dads! x 

And if you've already shopped (well done, you), and are just looking for a laugh, this is an oldie but goodie. For the record, I liked old Old Spice guy better than Fabs :) Happy Friday! x
