DADDY DEAREST

Fabulous Father’s Day gift ideas from PINQ.

As gays, its our solemn duty to ensure those around us are well dressed, well groomed and well fed, including our good ol’ pop. Daddy complex jokes aside, with Father’s Day right around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about fabulous Father’s Day gifts.

Here are a few suggestions from PINQ.

SPA - Treat dad to a “Man-cial” at Skoah Spa. Throughout the month of June, this men’s-only treatment is only $60 (reg. $70). And hey, why not treat yourself while you’re at it?

SHAVE – Just in time for Father’s Day, a new line of shaving products called eShave has come to Vancouver. Available at masc, the line features contemporary collection of handmade shaving accessories and products. Or if dad isn’t willing to give up the Mach 3, then pamper him with a hot towel shave from Momentum Grooming.

SHOP – Nothing says “stylish old guy” like Brooks Brothers. Now that the iconic haberdashery, famous for suiting most US presidents, has opened its doors in Vancouver, your dad can look as good as Obama. Their web site even gives you gift ideas for “Classic Dad,” “Active Dad,” “Casual Dad” and “Executive Dad.”

STEAK – What dad doesn’t like a good steak? A couple fine local eateries are offering specials that will make both dad and your wallet happy. Take dad to Hamilton Street Grill in Yaletown where he can enjoy an 8 oz. Certified Angus Sirloin steak,with garlic smashed potatoes and market fresh vegetables for just $12 (available throughout the month of June), or check out Gastown’s So.Cial for their $11.99 Prime Rib Sundays.
