My husband has been saying for months how excited he is for summer to start doing activities with our son who is now old enough for father-son activities. He has also been wanting to take up biking again and finally use the Chariot carriage our generous friend gave us. So last week, I asked my brother who has a friend with a bike shop, to take my husband and get a bike for Father's Day as well as a helmet for our son. My brother took him to Cyco's in Ottawa.
The service was apparently amazing and my husband and my eldest son have been going biking almost daily. I even got my husband to go for a ride early Sunday morning - for those who know him know that skipping sleeping in on Sunday is unheard of. In other words, he loves his Father's Day gift and especially loves the time he gets to spend with our son.
One of my recommendations for a Father's Day gift is to get the Father of your young children a gift that would allow him to spend more time with his kid(s), especially if he gets to see them very little given that he is at work all day. Think of an activity he loves and get him the tools he needs to incorporate the little one.
Here are some ideas
For a cyclist
A bike, a Chariot (or other carrier) and helmet for your child.
For a swimmer or just someone that enjoys the water
Sign them up for swimming lesson at your local pool and maybe get them each a new bathing suit and personalized towels. Pottery Barn Kids and Pottery Barn has a great selection of beautiful beach towels that can be personalized.
For a sports fan
Matching jerseys for watching the game together or equipment for your child to play with dad, like a kids' baseball mitt.
For a chef
Personalized aprons. There is a very large selection of aprons on Williams-Sonoma's website, some of which can be personalized, including a selection of MLB aprons for Baseball fans. They also come in a variety of colours. Click

For the movie goer
Gift certificate for an upcoming movie they would both like and gift certificate to their favourite restaurant. Perhaps the upcoming Despicable Me 2 movie! I can't wait for that one.
Good luck!! Would love to hear about what you got the Father in your life.
