Last Min Gift Ideas

[Kavvy]

Good day all,

Anyone still looking for ideas? I am! If anyone has any cool, or unique ideas for the typical father or mother let me know! All ideas are welcome, but anything that I could do with them is also appreciated!

In return, here are some ideas which have been previously used for anyone else struggling:

-Round of Golf at Heritage Point together
-Spa Gift Cards
-Scotch Tasting at Willow Park
-Invermere Plane Gliding (actually haven't done this one)


Thank you!

Spa gift cards, that idea is crazy enough it might just work......

I'd like to give out the link to this website, because all it does is give and give

Might be a little too out there, but what about an afternoon at Colour Me Mine or another one of those paint your own pottery sort of places?

I took my Oma a few years ago for her birthday and she quite liked it. The pricing is pretty reasonable too as they will supply all of the paints and fire the piece for you. You just have to show up, pick out what you want to make, paint it and then pick it up a week later.

If going this route, I highly recommend Riverside Spa.

I've been to a few in town and have had either bad experiences or found small flaws with them. Riverside however is flawless and always an excellent experience.

I often find Lee Valley is good for finding something last minute.

Especially for my dad and brother-in-law; both people who are hard to buy for.

I've stopped even trying for my Dad, it's Canadian Tire or Tim Hortons gift cards for Christmas and his Birthday. Which he actually seems more then happy for.

Thanks for all the ideas!

Groupon has a Three-Hour Introductory Fly-Fishing Lesson deal on today.

Just noticed there is also deal for "advanced" fishers. (is that the right term?)

The stillwater spa sets up a kiosk on the second floor of the Hyatt for men (let's face it, it's 99% men at this point) seeking last minute gifts.

You know what I got for Christmas? Oh, it was a banner fracking year at the old Bender family. I got a carton of cigarettes. The old man grabbed me and said, "Hey, smoke up Johnny."

Since you mentioned a scotch tasting, I got my dad some whisky stones from Willow Park as a stocking stuffer.

Good idea it will add some sort of imanginaton to my $100 ceasers gift card I ended up getting due to lack of time ( not that I would complain with that gift)
Thanks for all ideas will add that website for my fathers day ideas!

To me Gift Cards = I couldn't think of/find a gift to get you.

Kavy Senior: I'll bet he bought those for you. I bet those were a Christmas gift. You know what I got for Christmas? Oh, it was a banner fracking year at the old Kavey family. I got a carton of cigarettes. The Kavey Junior grabbed me and said, "Hey, smoke up Senior." Alright? So go home and cry to your Daddy. Don't cry here, okay?

I always thought a good gift was a gift certificate to a car wash.
