According to our friends at Wikipedia, Father’s Day is celebrated on the same day in more than 55 countries around the world. That’s a lot of fatherly love.

And while the dads in your life would surely appreciate a new tie, cufflinks or shirt on their special day, why not mix it up a little and try something new.

This Father’s Day, SickKids Foundation is giving you some cool, thoughtful gift ideas for dad with its SickKids Get Better Gifts giving catalogue. Choose from a number of meaningful gifts that will help brighten the lives of children at The Hospital for Sick Children.

Help ease a parent’s worries and reduce sleepless nights with a digital thermometer ($25). Keep a child nice and cozy with a post operation blanket warmer ($75). Let a parent stay with their child throughout the night by purchasing a sleeper chair ($40).
