Canadian Gift Guide

What It Is: Now that Mother’s Day is over, it’s time to gear up (literally in this case) for Father’s Day. This colourful tableware set from GSI Outdoors is meant for those outdoorsy types – whether you’re going for an afternoon picnic or a weeklong camping trip, you’ll have all the serveware to handle all the fixins. Made from recycled, BPA-free plastic, the entire collection includes four insulted mugs with matching nesting cups, plates, and bowls with pop-on lids to keep your beans & franks warm.
Who It’s For: Your dad, that peaces out on an annual fishing / hunting / camping trip every year with his buddies and could use a new set of dishes. Your best friend, that pretty much spends their summer counting down to camping season. Your spouse, along with an old-fashioned picnic basket packed with goodies for a romantic afternoon together + a reusable set of goodies for many a beach & park visit this summer.
What It Costs: $49.95 for the entire set.
Where It’s At: I spotted the set at the price on the Mountain Equipment Co-op website but you can also find it at Valhalla Pure Outfitters (BC), Atmosphere 589 and Sail Outdoors (QC), to name but a few other places.
