Father's Day Gift Guide

Weekend getaway at Somewhere Inn

Whisk Dad away to Somewhere Inn Calabogie, a nature-inspired reimagined motel in the heart of the Ottawa Valley. A hop, skip, and a jump from Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal, this gorgeous 11-room boutique inn was inspired by the surrounding landscape and a timely need to unplug and unwind. Designed with comfort and the environment in mind, Somewhere Inn is the perfect place to escape the city, get cozy by the fire, and reset. Unplugging comes easy with hammocks and lounge areas scattered throughout, an awesome bottle shop with local craft beers and wines, and communal fire pits lit nightly for time under the stars with old and new friends. Somewhere Inn is dad's basecamp for exploration, adventure, and discovering what Ontario has to offer. www.somewhereinn.ca

A gift card to Later Pizza

Just a quick drive from the city and you'll find yourself eating the best pizza in all the land. Later has outposts in Collingwood and Waterloo, and boasts accessible classics like Pepperoni and their own take on Hawaiian, as well as adventurous Later creations with non-traditional topping combinations. The “Mortadella” boasts hot honey, spicy arugula, and truffle sauce alongside the namesake ingredient, and the “Lord of Chicken” offers up shawarma-style chicken and donair sauce. They’ve even re-imagined the slice experience by introducing The Highslice: guests select a base pizza from the display case and then go crazy, customizing to their heart’s content. From there, each one-of-a-kind slice gets folded and fired for a unique flavour experience that’s both hot and cold. All pizzas are made with the best ingredients and have a thin, crispy, and light crust. Later also serves up a curated selection of natural wines, and their own Later Lager. www.laterpizza.com

A slick, soft Mark Krebs rug

Mark Krebs is a Toronto-based company that collaborates with makers around the world to bring beautiful, high-quality design objects into our homes, at a sensible price.

Mark Krebs rugs are handmade in Uttar Pradesh, India, not far from the Ganges River. Some of the rug weavers are also farmers who take up the practice of rug weaving when farming is offseason. A network of villages in the region all work in collaboration with the Mark Krebs team to produce beautiful, unique, and elegant rugs that add a bit of energy and high design to any home—at a very accessible price point. I think one of their rugs would be perfect for a man cave or home office!
