Whoever chose the day to celebrate fathers certainly knew what they were doing. While May’s spring flowers are perfect for Mother’s Day, there is no better month to celebrate dads than June. By now, we Canadians are ready to enjoy the warmer weather and have probably prepared the family barbecue for a season of cooking. If not, Father’s Day is the perfect reason to get it ready.

I don’t know if there’s a man alive who doesn’t like to grill outdoors on an open flame, which provides lots of great gift ideas! Think aprons, utensils, even cookbooks for the dad who’s an outdoor chef! Check out these cookbooks for every type of grilling imaginable.

If the dad in your life doesn’t like to cook outdoors, you could do the cooking for him. Try one of these recipes from a dad who knows a thing or two about cooking, Jamie Oliver: the Insanity Burger or Sweet and Spicy Beer Can Roast Chicken.

If you’re buying for a dad who’s more fashionisto than foodie, consider this beautiful (yet affordable!) watch from Lee Valley. Frankly, I don’t know a man who wouldn’t like anything from Lee Valley since most men appreciate a well-made tool.
If you’re still not sure what to do, have a look at some of these adorable Father’s Day gift ideas on Pinterest. He’s sure to love them and you’ll have fun making them!
From all of us at DNA, Happy Father’s Day!
