Father’s Day is just around the corner and it’s time to celebrate dad. Whether your partner prides himself on his tech-savvy, active lifestyle, handy-man nature or intellectual prowess, ParentsCanada came up with a few gift ideas for you:

For the car-enthusiast father: 

Autoglym's Aqua Wax is great for quickly topping up sealants and wax following a wash. It
can be used on all exterior surfaces including paint, rubber, plastic
and glass. Apply sparingly to a wet car and spread with the supplied
microfiber. Aqua Wax contains real carnauba wax and allows you to wax
and dry your car at the same time. It has the protective benefits of a
hard wax, but can be applied in a fraction of the time.
