[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Father’s Day is right around the corner and every year it gets harder and harder to find Dad something amazing that his smart phone doesn’t already do.
Unless you’re one of the lucky ones whose father is deeply invested in a specific hobby (model trains, fishing, stamp collecting…y’know, Dad stuff) it can be a struggle to find just the right gift. That’s why we’ve assembled a few stand-outs that we’ve stumbled on right here in Westboro Village![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_empty_space height=”75px”][mk_image_slideshow images=”5735,5736,5737,5738,5739″ image_height=”770″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]
IMPERIAL BARBER SHOP
352 Richmond
One of the biggest influences a Dad will have on their kids is unquestionably their grooming habits. Whether your dad went to work clean-shaven every morning, or if he liked to sport a shaggier look, you’ve likely inherited some of his techniques. Time to pay the man back with a few tips of your own: book an appointment at Imperial Barbershop and you can treat your dad to a professional barber cut and shave; or you can pick up some of their proprietary shaving supplies, creams and aftershaves. Not only can a shave using the right equipment add value to a normally monotonous chore, by upgrading your dad to a traditional safety-razor and disposable blades can save your old man a lot of money, and divert waste from the landfill.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

CIGAR MAN WESTBORO

Even if you don’t smoke, Cigar Man will always carry a great variety of gifts for the well-heeled gentleman. Take these fragrance lamps, (often referred to by the brand name “Lampe Berger”) for example. These lamps purify the air by destroying odors and air borne bacteria, as well as increasing oxygen levels in the air. The scented fuels contain essential oils that are made from natural extracts that perfume the air, remove unwanted odours, on top of having insect repelling properties. If you’ve never tried one, you should; and if you have tried one, you already know they make a great gifts![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]
