Perfect Gift For Father’s Day 2023 from Downtown Stratford

We know we’re bias, but… we have a PERFECT GIFT IDEA for dad.

We KNOW we know. Because dads are notoriously difficult to shop for. And sometimes nothing says I love you like “pick it out yourself”!

It’s a big job deciding what your dad wants or needs. And dads LOVE TO HELP, don’t they? Give them the job of deciding — by gifting DOWNTOWN DOLLARS instead!

Downtown Dollars are accepted at over 200 shops, restaurants, barbers, and more in the downtown core.

What can they use their downtown dollars on? Oh gosh – the options are endless:

  • Fancy shave
  • Charming whisky glasses
  • New funky shirt
  • Dinner and drinks
  • Biker or active gear
  • Cool sunglasses
  • Pedicure – yes a pedi
  • New book for their intellectual side
  • Things for grilling
  • Thing to grill with
  • Fun socks
  • Craft beer

What are the fathers in your life spending their downtown dollars on? You probably don’t know – which is the point.

Happy Father’s Day!

Purchase them at the Destination Stratford office at 47 Downie Street, daily 9-5pm.
