Alright, Vancouver, Father’s Day is coming up soon, and if you were lookin’ for some great gift ideas… we’re here to help. We teamed up with Neo Financial to bring you a list of perfect gift ideas. ‘Cause let’s be honest, Dads love everything, sure, but we know they’ll adore something from one of these places (and with the cashback you’ll be gettin’, you’ll love it too!)
Not sure what the hype is about? Well team, if you like gettin’ cashback at your fave shops… listen up. Neo Financial is your one stop-shop to banking that’s free to use and actually gets you cashback when you spend money at places you already love. Did we mention that in addition to their no-fee credit card, their everyday, high-interest savings account can get you up to 130x times more than your current bank? Yep, they’re actually that good (which we would expect from the founders of SkipTheDishes!).
For every kind of dad out there, here are some great spots for Father’s Day gifts in Vancouver.
Herschel

First up is something for the dads that like to look a little fashionable while they’re out and about. Now a global company but with roots firmly in Vancouver, Herschel offers everything from classic backpacks to sleek wallets and a whole bunch more. Our own dad has got a wallet that looks like George Costanza’s, so we’re looking at those this year.

Neo Cashback: $20 back when you spend $80 or more
Hudson’s Bay
But what if your dad has Herschel everything already? Hey, we don’t blame him, but a little bit of variety is always a good idea. And of course, you don’t get many more options than at Hudson’s Bay. From designer fashions to home goods and skincare products, Hudson’s Bay is easily the biggest catchall pick on this list. Get your dad to embrace pampering himself every so often, and introduce him to the wide world of body scrubs.

Burrard/Crosstown Liquor Store
We say that flowers are for Mother’s Day, what food and drink gifts are for Father’s Day. With a wide selection of craft beers, wine and more, these liquor stores are sure to have everything you need to help your dad relax after a hard day of work in the backyard, or whatever dads do. Of course, our suggestion is to opt for a bottle of whiskey or bourbon, as an extra special treat.

Mister Ice Cream

Maybe your dad is a little more ‘rum raisin’ than he is plain old rum. Not a problem, since one of the best ice cream shops in the city has partnered with Neo Financial as well! Using a nitrogen cooling technique, Mister claims to have perfected the art of creamy, smooth and dense ice cream. Buy a pint for your pops and put it to the test!
Where: 1141 Mainland Street
Neo Cashback: 7% cashback
Milano Coffee
There’s likely no other demographic with a higher rate of ‘morning people’ on earth than dads. Help your own keep it that way with a wonderful reason to wake up- a piping hot cup of absolutely delectable coffee from Milano. Bonus points if in addition to some beans, you grab a fancy new piece of equipment for him as well.

Bomber Brewing

If you like the alcohol idea, but are thinking maybe some craft beer is more your dad’s style, then you can go straight to the source at Bomber Brewing. This beloved East Van brewery updated its look a couple of years back, but we promise that, if anything, the products have only gotten better since then. If they hadn’t, how could we recommend it to your dear old dad? It’d be blasphemous.
Where: 1488 Adanac St
Neo Cashback: 5-8% cashback
Eternal Abundance
This is Vancouver, after all, so we’re thinking there are some folks out there who have dads that are even healthier than them. For the children of Vancouver’s health nuts, we have one place to go- Eternal Abundance. This grocery store and market offers a wide variety of vegan food, sure, but they also have a ton of home and garden supplies, bodycare items, and more.
Where: 1025 Commercial Drive
Neo Cashback: 7% cashback
Forbidden Vancouver Walking Tours
Our final recommendation this year is for the dads that love activities! And, these walking tours have long been a top choice for residents who want to know more about this fine city. It’s filled to the brim with crazy stories, and Forbidden Vancouver offers one of the best ways to learn about them, hands down.
