Father Knows Best

 For all the times we’ve rolled our eyes at Dad’s corny jokes, Father’s Day is our chance to show him that we actually appreciate his humour. Here are a few sweet ways to return his love on June 15.

Next Thursday’s free boxing demonstration – held by the city’s most talented athletes – commemorates Canadian author Karen X. Tulchinsky’s fictional account of a Depression-era Canadian-Jewish boxer. A perfect 1-2 gift combo…
“The Five Books of Moses Lapinsky,” $21.95; Boxing Demonstration, June 19, Free

Dr. Feel Good
We won’t forget the sugar cubes when we give Dad a bottle of Taboo Absinthe. It’s made by Okanagan Spirits the traditional (and oft-forbidden) way, using star anise, hyssop, fennel and wormwood. (Green fairy not included.)
Taboo Absinthe, $55
www.okanaganspirits.com, also available at select BC Liquor Stores

The Music Man
Judging from the crowds of men in Vancouver’s first Apple store, boys like their toys. And with the affordable price of an iPod shuffle, we can have daddy skipping to the beat without busting our budget.
From $55 for 240 songs or $75 for 500 songs
