The spray can also make holes to plant small bulbs such as lily of the valley or bluebell.

You can order any of her packages as one-offs or subscribe to get four bottles each month. Each bottle comes with tasting notes and suggestions for food pairings. The service is available for delivery in the GTA, but Elizabeth hopes to expand soon.
12. A Leather Gardening Belt
When on the move, stash sharp blades in this durable fair-trade Buffalo leather tool belt, which keeps tools safe and secure. The belt can be customized for dad with a heat-embossed name stamp or monogram on the bottom right corner.

If you’re looking to give him a bottle of something unique, the smoked gin from Valley of Mother of God might be your answer.

The result is an elegantly balanced gin with a subtle hint of wood smoke.
