Today, in their email newsletter, Posterjack Canada was asking, “What kind of dad do you have?” They then are offering up a few choices of some gift ideas for dad, along with a new coupon code for a 20% discount.

• Coupon Code:  4MYDAD
• Discount: 20% off
• Expires: 13th June 2011

Here are some of their thoughts for gift ideas:

• For the dad that isn’t so handy – Peel & Stick Poster
• For the dad that loves the finer things in life – Photo on Canvas
• For the dad that loves cool new stuff – Metal Prints
• For the dad that loves classic things – Framed Photo
• For the dad that likes simplicity – Photo Poster & Poster Hanger Accessory

I am a huge fan of photo gifts for any occasion, so I like to share this type of deal. I was particularly interested to see the metal prints on Posterjack – I’ve never heard of these before! They’re printed on to a brushed aluminium surface, and I think they would look brilliant as a print in your home. I was planning on printing out some photos that I have taken of flowers onto canvas, but now I am wondering if the metal prints would look a lot better.

Posterjack ship within Canada by Fedex, so no need to worry about the Canada Post strike.

This week over at Well.ca, they have a load of special offers on items that would possibly be appropriate for Father’s Day gifts.

The Gillette Fusion is the razor that my other half uses, and it is on offer for $9.99. He finds it very good, and so do I, when I occasionally borrow it for my leggies! We usually use it with the Gillette Fusion shave gel, which is $5.59. The Gillette Fusion proglide razor is slightly cheaper though, coming it at only $6.99.

There’s quite a few Old Spic items on offer at the above link too. I think that it has really increased in popularity since their excellent advertising series, with the Old Spice man. Yummy.

By the way, you don’t need to worry about the Canada Post strike, as Well.ca are shipping via Purolator or UPS in Canada, and it’s still totally free.

And don’t forget, you can get 3 free samples when you spend $30, as I blogged about that a few days ago.

Map reading… navigating… being lost in foreign territory… it can lead to some nasty in-car arguments. That’s why it is essential to have a GPS these days! I spotted a decent deal on this TomTom XL 340·S GPS NAVIGATOR from The Source Canada.

• Click here to see the TomTom deal @ The Source Canada

The TomTom is only $109.99, plus you can get free shipping to your local store.

I also thought this could make a good Father’s Day gift, if you were willing to spend that amount. If it’s a bit out of your budget, you could even consider grouping together with a few family members to buy it. That’s what me and my 5 sisters usually do for family pressies!

I really don’t drive many new places so I don’t have a GPS right now. If I needed to, I think I can get google maps on my phone for an emergency. However, if I am renting a car in a foreign country, I almost always rent a GPS too, or I would literally be lost without it.

This weekend only, Home Depot Canada is having a 2 day in-store event, with lots of Father’s Day gift ideas on special offer.

This month at Gravity Pope, they are offering free shipping on all men’s shoes and clothing!

• Click here to shop online @ Gravity Pope

The merchandise from Gravity Pope is designer stuff, so it’s not cheap. But you could check out the men’s clearance section if you want to try and spot a bargain. Sizes might be limited though… but possibly worth hunting through.

Shipping within Canada is normally $15, so that’s how much you’re saving.

Small print:

How about this for a great Father’s Day gift? It’s the Aluratek 8″ digital photo frame from Dell Canada, and it is only $44.99 with free shipping!

• Click here to see the Aluratek frame @ Dell Canada

Here’s my idea for Father’s Day – buy this photo frame, load it up with plenty of gorgeous family pics that your dad would love, then give it to him on the 20th of June.

Some of the features:

• 8” TFT true color LCD (800×600 resolution) w/ 512MB memory included
• Supports many memory card formats such as: SD / SDHC
• Photo slideshow automatically begins with background music
• Display on a table top with the included frame stand or mount on your wall

This digital photo frame has 29 reviews on Dell Canada – if you want to read a few and see if it is worth buying. The reviews do seem to have good and bad points, such as:

Not user friendly for someone that is not a tech fan.

Or

Easy to use. It is a good tool to start conversation with friends and relatives.

Ganong is a Canadian confectionary out of New Brunswick and has been in operation since 1873. In celebration of Father’s Day they are offering a 15% off coupon code that is good store-wide.

Click here to visit The Ganong Online Shoppe

• Coupon Code: GF15
• Discount: 15% off
• Expires: Unknown

This is what they have to say about their products:

“The Ganong Online Shoppe is a place where you’ll discover many old-fashioned chocolate varieties that have been made for over half a century – each exquisite masterpieces of the confectioner’s art. Rich milk caramel, sinful chocolate truffles, peanut butter cups, delicious double-dipped cherries, the one and only Ganong Original Chicken Bones - this is a mere sample of the precious pieces waiting to excite and delight the discriminating palate.”

Their shipping rates vary based on the amount of money you spend on your purchase but are well displayed on the website.

I have never had any of their chocolate, so I’m not sure how good it is, but if you have had Ganong chocolate / candy before drop us a comment and let us know your thoughts!

If you are racking your puny brains trying to think of a nice idea for a gift for your dad this Father’s Day, here are a few ideas for you.

Does your dad have a GPS navigator yet? You might do well with this Garmin Nuvi 265WT for only $129.97 from TigerDirect Canada, with free shipping too. It is a refurbished model, but still comes with a warranty. A GPS is a pretty cool gadget to own. Even if you only use it a few times a year, it can be handy for finding your way to a new destination.

If your dad drives a lot, then a Bluetooth headset is a must-have for using with his cellphone. This JX20 Pura wireless bluetooth headset is only $49.99 with free shipping from Dell Canada. These are a must-have if you want to use your cellphone in the car – I hate seeing drive-by-texting!

If you are throwing away money, then how about an iPad which start at $549? I recently wrote a post about the launch of the Ipad here, if you want to read my opinion on it. If your dad is a gadget-lover, then I am sure he has heard all about the hype surrounding the new Apple iPad and he might like to have one for himself.

Avigayil suggests buying him a Superdad t-shirt from Tshirtmonster, using the 15% discount code in this Tshirtmonster post. There are a few other options for dad on there, such as this I heart dad onesie, or the world’s greatest dad.

And dad definitely needs one of these – a USB missile launcher from The Source. Wait a minute, I need one of those! People already refer to my home office as missile command, so I think a USB missile launcher would fit in perfectly.

Do you have any good suggestions for Father’s Day gifts?

T-shirt Monster.ca is a wonderful place where you can get t-shirts, customize t-shirts, and make your own t-shirts! With Father’s Day coming up, it might be a great idea to forgo the usual card and try out a t-shirt on your father figure. For the geeky Dad, a SuperDad t-shirt just might be the thing to put a smile on his face! To make it all easier on your pocket book, T-Shirt Monster is offering a 15% off coupon code.

T-Shirt Monster is also cool in the way that you can have your own ‘T-Shirt Gallery, mark-up the prices and if people buy them, you can make some money!

I always followed one principle when buying gifts for my parents, make sure it is useable or consumable. Sure a stone duck for the mantel is nice, but a t-shirt to cloth one’s back… ah.. bliss.
