June 18, 2017 Father’s Day 

I just realized that I have never done a Father’s Day post. Today is the first.

So what do you get your dad for his special day? Anything he wants of course! While a trip abroad may not be in the budget, a thoughtful gift can always be found. Here are some triple ‘f’ suggestions for Father’s Day.

Is your dad a sports fanatic? Perhaps a day out on the links, a weekend canoe trip or an active beach vacation for his fitness.

An aftershave lotion or cologne made with essentials oils will provide a fragrant gift. Tree oils such as sandalwood and cedarwood have been popular with male users of aromatherapy.

You can splurge on a restaurant outing or make your dad’s favourite food. Aim for a healthy well-balanced meal preferably containing lycopene-rich cooked tomatoes for prostrate health. Make sure to finish with an indulgent treat. This year I made a strawberry cheese cake (pictured below) using local strawberries, my dad’s favourite.

Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers and father figures of the world!
