Father’s Day Gifts on Global TV

June 11, 2018 By Kari Leave a Comment

Some local, some Canadian-made, and some build around experiences: feel free to steal my Father’s Day gift ideas!

Father's Day Gifts on Global-1

I can’t believe we’re less than a week away from Father’s Day! I had the pleasure of popping in for a live segment on Global Edmonton this past Saturday, to showcase some of my favourite gift ideas for dad this year. I love building gifts around experiences, and that’s what inspired me when deciding what I was going to showcase. You can watch the segment here and keep scrolling to shop all the stuff. (If Father’s Day snuck up on you, and you don’t have a game plan for the big day, feel free to steal these ideas!)

Father’s Day Gifts

(in order of appearance on Global)

Gift Idea #1: Cocktail and a Chat

  • If your dad is impossible to buy for, partially because he’s the guy who has everything, keep it simple: mix up some great cocktails, throw something on the BBQ, and have a good quality chat! Bacardi Anejo Cuatro is a great option. Featured in a new line of Bacardi premium rums, barrel aged for a minimum of four years, you’ll pick up hints of vanilla, clove, honey, and banana. Keep it simple and mix with soda and a lime wedge. (Leave the rest of the bottle for dad, of course!)

Father's Day Gifts on Global-3

Gift Idea #2: Custom Shoes

  • Take your dad into Poppy Barley’s flagship store in Southgate, where they’ll measure his feet and craft custom shoes to fit. The Edmonton-designed shoes are an investment piece, so depending on your budget, perhaps you could split this gift with others in your family. Both my husband and I own Poppy Barley’s, and they still look brand new several years after wearing them all the time. The quality is top-notch and the company prides itself on sustainable and ethical manufacturing practices, so you can feel even better about your purchase. Shop their men’s line here. 

Father's Day Gifts on Global-4

The Dad Box

  • If you’re not able to see dad this Father’s Day, this is the perfect gift to send! Gathered (a local box subscription company) is out with it’s limited edition Dad Box, expertly curated with cool local products. The box is $85, but take 15% off site-wide when you use the code ‘ks15’ at checkout! Get your orders in now to ensure delivery for Father’s Day. Also, take a spin through their monthly subscription boxes. There might be a few gift ideas in there too. Shop here.

Father's Day Gifts on Global-5

 

Fun Gifts

  • One of my favourite local boutiques (don’t worry, you can shop them online too) Red Ribbon, has great quality, light-hearted gifts for dad. This is for the dad who has a sense of humour and really enjoys something outside of the box. From left to right.
  1. Chris Pratt colouring book
  2. Happy Camper mug (designed in Calgary, Alberta.)
  3. Hollow Tree’s Lumberjack Candle (coconut wax candles hand-poured in Whistler, B.C.)
  4. Bill Murray Scratch & Sniff Book

Be sure to check out their hilarious cards (for any holiday of the year) online and in-store.

Father's Day Gifts on Global-6

 

Leather Goods & Workshops

  • Clos General Leather just opened a new studio two blocks south of Whyte Ave (right beside Ace Coffee Roasters). The talented Kyle Closen creates beautifully-handcrafted leather belts, wallets, bags, and more. You can pick up a piece that’s already done, order something custom, or sign you and dad up for a dude’s night at one of Kyle’s leather-making workshops. ‘Beers & Belts’  or ‘Whiskey & Wallets’ is a 3-4 hour experience, creating your own leather belt (buckle included) or wallet. The workshops are $100-$150 per person with a maximum size of five people per class. The website is in waiting, so be sure to email him at closgeneral@gmail.com, or call 780-278-0131. You can also DM him on Instagram.

Father's Day Gifts on Global-7

 

Father’s Day Brunch

  • This actually didn’t make it to air because we ran out of time, so I’m so glad I can mention it here! How much fun would it be to take dad out to learn something new together? Get Cooking Edmonton is hosting a Father’s Day BBQ Brunch. You and dad can sip mimosas, learn how to cook, and enjoy a three-course brunch. Sign up here before it sells out.

It's truly amazing what our bodies can do. 💛

Life update. ❤ I’ll be keeping this piece of Life update. ❤

I’ll be keeping this piece of art forever. Wyatt painted this for me back in January, when I was isolated with Covid. I taped it up on the wall beside the bed during my stay in our guest room. If you zoom in, you’ll see me in the front with the big baby belly. (Wyatt calls me ‘big belly’ these days!)

Rainbows represent promise, hope, and new beginnings. 

It's been a rough past few weeks for our family, hence my absence online. Thank you so much for your messages of love, concern, and support. They mean so much to us. I know I share a lot with you on here, but I’m not going to get into details this time. Just know we're doing alright. Junebug is great (and kicking and rolling around non-stop!), Wyatt is awesome per usual, and Ryan and I are rock solid.

I had to take a break from work. My main focus has always been (and will
always be) protecting the peace, health, and well-being of our family unit. 

Social media can be a beautiful place where connection and inspiration happens. Unfortunately, it can also foster hurtful and harmful attacks. I’ve learned so much over these past few weeks, and have deeply reflected on my presence and future plans online. I’ll share more soon, but for now, I just wanted to check in, say a sincere thanks, and let you know we’re all good. ❤️
The moment I found out. September 22, 2021. I’ll The moment I found out. September 22, 2021. I’ll be honest - the first trimester wasn’t great. There were moments of joy (like this one) but it was filled with anxiety, scary moments, and a few hurdles. 

🤰I’m playing catchup on some pregnancy blog posts but I wanted to make sure this was up, especially for those who have been following our journey. 

👉 Head on over to KariSkelton.com for ‘Pregnancy Q&A: The First Trimester’ where I get into all of it. Link is in my bio.

❔️Please ask any questions. That’s the whole reason why I share about this. I believe sharing our experiences and personal stories helps all of us feel less alone and often validates what we’re going through. 

(If you can believe it, I took a video of the exact moment I found out but it disappeared from my files. Poof! Gone.💨 Of all the videos to lose…. 🙈 But very happy to have this photo).
