1. Shirt Supply
Hometown hero Hammer Made knows a thing or two about dressing Daddio. Snag a stylish new shirt (if you’re feeling generous, opt for the shirt of the month club—AKA the gift that keeps on giving). Bonus: Stop in to any location and spend $250 or more, and the brand will throw in a free golf ball and tee set—score! hammermade.com
2. Culinary Chic
Dad doesn’t have to be a five-star chef to don a stylish BA Craftmade Apron. But how handsome would he look owning the grill at his next backyard BBQ in a waxed canvas number? craftmadeaprons.com
3. One and Done
Everyone’s trusty gift box purveyor is here with a Dad’s Day option that includes everything he wants and nothing he doesn’t need. Give pops a variety of tasty, local noshes, like Cry Baby Craig’s hot sauce to chef Justin Sutherland’s bourbon and smoke seasoning. minnyandpaul.com
4. Blended and barreled
Let dad play bartender and hit up local distillery Tattersall for its limited-edition ready-to-Dad whisky cocktail kits for the DIYer on your list. Cap his present off with some rad merch—Dad hats, shirts, or button for some fatherly flair. tattersalldistilling.com
5. Hole in One
For the golfin’ guy, drop by a specialty shop like 2nd Swing Golf, Golf USA, or Club Champion and gift him new gear for the green. Go the extra yard and make it a destination trip to Giants Ridge Golf Course in Minnesota’s northwoods, where they’re offering a Father’s Day special for dads to play free with a paid regular-priced green fee. Or, opt for the course essentials with Thr3 Jack’s “Birdie Pack,” which includes a six-pack sized cooler, a sleeve of balls, a house-made chocolate chip cookie, a crowler of DCBC x Thr3 Jack Good Good Hazy Oat IPA, a koozie, and a handful of Thr3 Jack tees. giantsridge.com, thr3jack.com
6. Sip ‘n’ Stamp
Support our craft brewing and distilling industries while surprising dad with a drink passport that allows him to explore new Twin Cities spots while receiving complimentary beverages at each stop. A win-win. craftnotes.net
