Father’s Day is Sunday! Here’s a roundup of gift ideas for dear old dad – and you won’t even have to leave the neighborhood to get them. #shoplocal
The Fun Dad
Let’s hear it for the fun dad! The dad who lets you eat cake for dinner and stay up late when mom isn’t home. Boston Bowl is the perfect spot to celebrate your fun dad. In addition to bowling Boston Bowl has air hockey, billiards, batting cages and lots of video games! The Franklin Park Zoo is offering free admission for all dads on on Father’s Day! Fun dads love the zoo! Plus it’s World Giraffe Day and where else are you gonna see one!
The Comfy Dad
Forget button down shirts and belts for this guy! This dad very much likes to be comfy, so a cozy hoodie is the perfect gift. And our pic for a cozy hoodie? College Hype. We literally do not know anyone in Dot who wouldn’t love a Dorchester hoodie!
For the The Fit Dad
Treat dad to a workout! Whether it’s a HIIT class at Body + Fuel, a cycling class at Connected Through Strength, or bootcamp at Moakely Park via Motivated Fitness you can find the perfect class for a fit dad or want-to-be-fit dad.
Beer Lover Dad
This dad loves his beer! Why not surprise him with a trip to Dorchester Brewing! Hit the tap room and order up a flight or 20 revolving taps and take a tour of the brewery! Dorchester Brewing also has gift cards too!
Brunch on the Patio for Dad
224 Boston is offering brunch (and dinner) on their gorgeous patio on Sunday! Reservations recommended!
Father’s Day Picnic
Plan a Father’s Day Picnic at one of the many beaches and parks in the neighborhood. American Provisions has everything you need from sandwiches to snacks and wine + beer! You can order the basket here!
Sweets for Dad
If your Dad has a sweet tooth, head over to Philip’s Chocolates! They’re offering a Father’s Day special including 15 Chocolate Turtles and milk and dark chocolate sea salt caramels all handsomely wrapped up just for Dad! Or build your own box personalized for your Dad! Curbside pickup available.
Top Shelf Dad
Don’t just celebrate Dad this June! Send him a Cookie of the Month Subscription box through Top Shelf Cookies! Top Shelf Cookies will pick flavors every month, this means Dad will get new flavors as they are rolled out!
