We admit it. We’ve been slack. Sure, we mean’t well–you know… run around and put together a comprehensive guide to Father’s Day gifts with plenty of time to spare. Sure, there was some discussion about this gift guide over the past month. What gifts we would like to feature, etc etc…
In the end, we ran out of time and had to put this together literally in a couple of hours. Because it really was a last minute thing, we kind of walked out of our office in the Ori Building on Lonsdale Street (picking things up as we went) and down to Bunda Street–just because, conveniently, there are a few menswear stores within walking distance of each other, including Ministry and Blades.
Oh, we also had a meeting at the NMA, so we decided to check out their shop while we were there and discovered a very cool section devoted to Father’s Day, which included the Triumph and Disaster Stash Box featured in our assortment of carefully–albeit lazily–selected gifts for the cool Dad in your life. And did I mention, we also downloaded a gift certificate from QT’s Barbershop? Boom!
So, if you guys are as slack as we were putting this gift guide together, you have probably thought lots about Fathers day, but haven’t done much about it. It’s okay, we understand. If you haven’t bought anything yet don’t fret! We managed to do it, and we needed a bunch of gifts, not just one (yeah, you guys have it easy). So please, spare us the drama, ‘its raining blah blah blah’ and show the old boy some love.
