Father’s Day is June 19, and obviously we know (know) that you’re already thinking about what to get the World’s Greatest Dad, and that you’re definitely not going to wait until the last minute.

The ENO DoubleNest Print hammock is machine washable, quick-drying, and can fit two people up to 400 pounds. It rolls up into a convenient carrying bag, so dad can bring it to the beach, to the top of a mountain, or just use it in the backyard if he wants. The knotless Atlas Suspension System ($40) makes set-up quick, and its straps are also tree-friendly. $115, mec.ca

The Kobo Sage eReader has Bluetooth support, so if Dad is a fan of audiobooks, he can pair a set of headphones to listen to Kobo’s selection. The glare-free e-ink touch screen is also compatible with a stylus, perfect for underlining a section he wants to come back to later or leaving notes and doodles in the margins. $299, indigo.ca
