Father’s Day is the perfect time to show your appreciation for the dads, stepdads, grandpas, and father figures who make a difference in your life. Whether he’s the grill master, the tech guy, the sports fanatic, or the king of dad jokes, South Edmonton Common has everything you need to make him feel celebrated.
From thoughtful gifts to fun outings, here’s your complete guide to planning a Father’s Day he won’t forget - all in one stop!
GIFT GUIDE: Great Gifts for Every Kind of Dad
1. For the Well-Dressed Dad
If Dad takes pride in his wardrobe (or maybe just needs a little help updating it), head to Mark’s for quality everyday essentials - polos, jeans, and outerwear designed for comfort and function.
Winners is another great stop for stylish deals on name-brand apparel, colognes, belts, and leather wallets - perfect for the dad who appreciates a little flair without the fuss.
2. For the Tech-Savvy Dad
Whether he’s into gadgets, gaming, or just staying connected, Best Buy has plenty of gift ideas. Surprise him with wireless earbuds, a Bluetooth speaker for backyard hangouts, or even a new smartwatch to help him keep track of his golf steps.
Looking for something practical? Laptop accessories, a new tablet, or even a streaming device like a Roku or Chromecast makes a great upgrade for his home setup.
3. For the Adventurous or Active Dad
For the dad who never skips a round of golf, loves to hike, or hits the gym regularly, you’ll find everything he needs at SportChek - think performance sneakers, golf accessories, workout gear, or insulated water bottles to keep him moving through summer.
If his kind of adventure is more backyard BBQ than mountain climbing, check out Canadian Tire for grilling tools, camping chairs, coolers, and more weekend-ready gear.
4. For the Groomed & Polished Dad
Pamper Dad with something he might not get for himself. Tommy Gun’s Original Barbershop offers gift cards for a haircut or hot towel shave.
Want to put together a DIY gift box? Grab grooming tools, shaving kits, and skincare essentials from Chatters or Marshalls.
5. For the Sentimental Dad
Nothing beats a heartfelt, personal touch. Swing by Indigo to pick out a “Dad Life” mug, a classic novel, or a funny and sweet Father’s Day card. Want to get the kids involved? Let them choose a journal, photo album, or keepsake book to fill with their favourite memories together.
FATHER’S DAY ACTIVITIES TO ENJOY TOGETHER
Sometimes, the best gift you can give is quality time. South Edmonton Common has lots of ways to turn Father’s Day into a full-on family celebration:
1. Take Him Out for a Meal
Give Dad a break from the grill and treat him to a delicious meal. From hearty burgers and ribs at Montana’s to flatbreads and steaks at The Keg, there’s something for every taste. Feeling adventurous? Try bold flavours at Noodle Box, or go casual with pizza and pasta at Pizzeria Bros.
Don’t forget dessert - grab cones from Marble Slab, cake from Garden Bakery,, or cookies from Tim Horton’s to end the meal on a sweet note.
2. See a Movie at Cineplex
Let Dad kick back in a recliner seat at Cineplex and catch the latest blockbuster. Whether he’s a Marvel fan, into comedy, or just wants to escape into a story for a couple of hours, a movie date is always a win.
3. Let Him Pick Out His Own Gift
Not quite sure what he wants? Turn shopping into a fun Father’s Day experience. Grab a coffee from Starbucks or Second Cup and browse together. Let him choose something he truly loves from his favourite stores - or surprise him with a gift card so he can come back later.
4. Book Him a Mini Makeover
Whether it’s a fresh haircut, beard trim, or scalp treatment, Tommy Gun’s is a great place to give Dad a moment to relax and feel his best. It’s a small but meaningful way to show you care about him - not just what he does for everyone else.
MAKE IT A DAY HE’LL REMEMBER
At the end of the day, it’s about making Dad feel appreciated. Whether you surprise him with a thoughtful gift, take him out for dinner, or just spend the afternoon laughing over coffee and conversation, you’ll find everything you need to make it special at South Edmonton Common.
With unbeatable shopping, great food, and fun for the whole family, it’s your one-stop destination for Father’s Day.
