Top Five Local Gifts For Dad

Father’s Day is fast-approaching and what better way to show dad how much you care then to spoil him with local gifts? Here are some of the ideas that made our top 5 list of local presents for your dad this Father’s Day:

1. BEER

Grab dad a pack of Garrison Brewery’s Irish Red or Nut Brown beer. Garrison also offers a “Mixed 6” pack so dad can try all of their delicious varieties. Craft brew from Propeller (they just released their latest seasonal beer, Black IPA) or Pale Ale from Rare Bird Craft Beer are sure to be a hit as well!

2. BBQ

Father’s Day is the perfect time to fire up the BBQ with dad and grill up some delicious and fresh seafood from Nova Scotia. Cedar Bay has placed a full fillet of Canadian Atlantic salmon on a 14” pre-soaked cedar plank. There is no prep work – just thaw and place it on the grill and serve.

If your dad would prefer something else on the grill, top it with Roasted Garlic & Onion Chutney from Tangled Garden. This chutney is a hot and spicy garnish for roast beef, steak, burgers and other barbecued meats.

3. SWEET TREATS

If your dad has a sweet tooth, Nova Scotia definitely doesn’t fall short of scrumptious treats to try. Head to Sugah! and grab the best of both worlds with their Beer & Pretzel Brittle, proudly featuring Garrison’s Irish Red Ale.  If dad isn’t a beer man, try Rum Runners Rum Cakes – each one contains 4 ounces of rum!

4. GOLF GETAWAY

If your dad is a golfer like mine, I’m sure he would love the Golfer’s Delight Package, offered at Digby Pines Golf Resort and Spa. This package includes accommodation, breakfast, one round of golf and 50% off additional rounds of golf (starting from $122.00 per person plus tax).

5. BREAKFAST IN BED

Start the morning off right by making dad a delicious breakfast in bed.Try this Taste of Nova Scotia Breakfast Crate this Father`s Day.
