June Loves: Our Gift Guide for all of the special Dads out there!
Hello.... June! One of our favorite months where we love to celebrate all of the special dads out there. Whether it’s our dad (who’s a pretty special guy), or the dad who is a great partner in raising the little humans in our homes... most of us are lucky to be surrounded by some special ones.Â
Because we love dads so much, we’ve searched clear across Cincinnati and scouted out what we feel are the best gifts for him - whether he’s the athletic type, the one who loves to experience and learn new things, or the fashion-forward one. The best part about all of these - they’re all supporting local business owners, many of which are dads themselves, and who deserve a “Happy Father’s Day” when you visit! ENJOY!
1. Faherty Brand ALL DAY SHORTS - from Trevor Furbay Bespoke Tailor in Mariemont
We can’t say enough wonderful things about these shorts! They look like nice shorts to be worn with a polo, but they’re secretly (or not so secretly!) swim trunks as well! Available in a variety of solid colors and fun patterns.Â
2. Running Shoes - Tristate Running CompanyÂ
Not only will the knowledgeable team at Tristate fit your man for the best shoe for him, they’ll work to understand his needs and wants in running and help him get to ANY finish line (even if it is just running around the playground)!
3. Corkcicle. Bottle - Pomegranate & Lime
Don’t let the heat warm up those drinks! These are some serious water bottles that keep fluids cold for days (regardless of what’s in it)! There is a really fun variety of colors that he’ll start to call his buddy in no time.Â
4. Cincinnati Engraved Glassware - Camargo Trading
Calling all Cincinnati-loving dads! These are for him. Stemmed wine glasses and some other fun Cincinnati skyline options will be perfect for him!Â
5. Guitar Lessons from Sean McGary - The Music Salon
What a treat for the dad who wants to experiment with learning new (or rekindling old) things! Just a few lessons with Sean will have them rocking out and falling back in love with some of their favorite tunes. We all need hobbies other than being a dad... right?Â
6. A Stellar watch - Richter & Phillips
For the fashion-forward dad who is always late! Help him step up his game with a variety of beautiful time pieces from Richter & Phillips, notably, Rolex brand!
7. Dubarry Loafers - Romualdo Sartoria
Blue suede shoes? Yes, please! What a great statement shoe, or not. Such comfort and fine materials make these shoes (available in many colors other than blue!) his new go-to all Summer long!Â
8. Personalized Stationary - Designs by Dawson
Gone are the days of texting “Thank you” for being invited over to a friends... right? Well, we can’t promise changed behavior, but we can promise that he can have his own stationary suite and really show his appreciation for others using snail mail! (we are admittedly HUGE fine-paper fans here at TSG, obviously)
9. Johnnie-O Polos - Khakis Cincinnati
Some of the softest, best materials out there for any guy - the golfer, the pool-guy or just for the Sunday under-blazer kind of guy! A big variety of colors and patterns - lots of great stripes!Â
