Finding the perfect present for a man always seems to be a bit of a challenge for me. Whether I’m shopping for my fiance or for my own dad, their interests are so unique that I’m never quite sure where to start. Luckily, Mark’s has plenty of great gift ideas for dads of all sorts, just in time for Father’s Day. And recently I got the chance to check out some of the store’s gift ideas for myself! Looking for the perfect gift for that special man in your life? Check out these fun ideas to help you get started!
For the Golfer
The Windriver HD1 Packable Jacket is the perfect multitasking jacket for the golf course and beyond. With Hyper-Dri technology, it provides waterproof protection from sudden showers while still being breathable. And the adjustable hood and machine washable design means that looking good on the course has never been easier! A lightweight fit lets this jacket go from sunshine to rain and it’s perfect for packing in a suitcase without being bulky.
For the Beach Lover
Whether the man in your life prefers diving into the waves or just lounging in the sand, the Ripzone Swim Shorts will have him looking great as he enjoys the best that summer has to offer. The elastic waist with drawstring makes it easy to get the perfect fit, and the bright stripes will have Dad strutting his stuff in style. Best of all, the fabric is soft and dries quickly for maximum comfort in and out of the water!
For the Workman
If Dad is always on the job, show him you care with sturdy new safety gear! The Workhorse CSA #1 Hard Hat offers reliable impact protection and a bright orange colour that will help a man be seen more easily on night shifts or in dim areas. The absorbent cotton brow pad makes it a great choice for a hot summer’s day and the ratchet adjustment ensures a perfect fit for maximum protection.
For the Fashion Fan
For that man that always wants to look his best, the Denver Hayes Classic Fit Never Iron Long-Sleeved Shirt is the ideal gift. The crisp lines and grid design make it universally flattering for most body types, while also providing maximum comfort. And the Perfectly Pressed fabric available exclusively at Mark’s means that the shirt comes out of the dryer ready to wear and looking its best…no ironing required!
For the Outdoorsman
There’s no better gift for a man that loves the great outdoors than gear to help him stay out even longer. The Klean Kanteen 27 oz. Pop Top Water Bottle does just that by ensuring your favourite adventurer can stay hydrated longer. The large opening ensures easy filling and pouring, and the durable materials used for the bottle don’t retain or impart flavours. Choose from a variety of colours to get Dad the perfect bottle that suits his style!
For the Sporty Dad
If the man on your list coaches a youth sports team or participates in a sport himself, great shoes are sure to be a much appreciated gift. The Skechers Skech-Air Infinity Lace-Up Sneakers feature gel-infused memory foam for better cushioning and a stabilizing mid sole design for ideal support. The bright colour adds fun flash to the shoes so that Dad will want to show everyone his new gift!
Mark’s knows how important it is to celebrate fathers, and that’s why the company created this fantastic video that let Canadians share what makes their dads so special. It’s a great homage to the men that helped to give us the core values that make us good people, and it’s sure to remind you of a few of the things that make your dad so special!

One lucky Mommy Kat and Kids reader is going to win a $50 Mark’s gift card to do their own shopping spree for Dad! To enter to win, just leave a blog comment about what makes your dad special.
Shopping for Jeremy means that in some ways I’m shopping in a few different categories. He’s sporty, loves golf and has a great sense of style, so I have plenty of options. I eventually decided that the Denver Hayes Leather Travel Organizer would be a great Father’s Day gift since we have a vacation coming up and Jeremy loves being as organized as possible. The multiple slots keep paperwork and cards organized, while the full zip closure also keeps items safe! No matter what hobbies your dad or husband has, Mark’s has a great assortment of gifts that will let him know you care. Find the perfect one today and surprise Dad with a gift just for him this Father’s Day!

June 13, 2016 at 5:50 pmI loved my dad but he did not know how to show affection, this was from the way he was brought up. He was an avid fisherman who taught each of his three girls how to correctly fillet a new caught fish. He taught me things, like sticking to it until the job is done and doing things right the first time. I miss him everyday.
