The best Father’s Day gift for my dad? A plate of his childhood favourite, tinned sardines. Prepared by his ex-wife, they were a rare treat. This year, if you can’t recreate the same magic, here are some alternatives to make your dad feel just as special.

For dads who like to get outdoors with their kids, I recommend the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra. It’s more comfortable and stylish than its predecessor, with better battery life and a responsive touchscreen. Perfect for poolside adventures or the driving range.

The ultimate utility device is the Apolosign 32-inch touch-screen TV. Versatile and rollable, it can function as an Android tablet, a streaming setup for Zoom meetings, or even a cooking tutorial assistant. Ideal for dads with multiple interests around the house.

Live-fire cooking continues to be popular. For those who have the budget, the Mibrasa Nano charcoal oven is a must-have. But for more modest means, the MH 300 Plus hibachi grill remains a premium choice. It’s compact and heavy-duty, perfect for creating deliciously charred meat.

If your dad appreciates a good brew, consider gifting Heady Topper’s hazy IPA or the Butterfly Bakery of Vermont mustard and hot sauce set. This gift will not only satisfy his palate but also evoke memories of home.
