Ahhh... the flowers and plants are coming alive, heat is kissing our faces, and there's a lot to be thankful for. Thankful for summer creeping in, for a beautiful sunny Vancouver, and thankful for the class of 2017! Not only is it the exciting time of commencements, it's time to show appreciation for all our incredible dads out there! What would life be without the hardworking dads that make our world go around? I don't even want to know!
Father's day is June 18th... There's a little bit of pressure for ya. To help you brainstorm, here are a few favourite "dad-gifts" in the shop for the fathers and father figures alike.
Victorinox // this company has been around over two centuries giving us the 'original Swiss Army knife'. gorgeous pocket knives or nail clippers made of sustainably harvested walnut wood. everybody needs a quality pocket knife!
Solight Design // beautiful foldable and solar powered light puffs! use them at the beach, grab a few and set them around your yard, or whatever you like. best thing about these is that for every SolarPuff, it allows Solight to subsidize a SolarPuff to someone in an undeserved region, and they give back in many other ways. learn more here!
