Father's Day is this weekend and Buffalo Dandy has a multitude of ideas to help find the perfect gift for the dad in your life, most of which can be purchased right here in Buffalo! When it comes to finding the right gift for Dad, don't just go the easy route and purchase a tie. He has plenty of those, trust me. Try to think: "What does Dad like to do?" Most often times, Dad's like to keep things pretty simple. Looking casual (but still good) on the weekends, maybe doing some grilling, having a drink or listening to some music. That's not to say he couldn't also use some pampering now and again, so let's get a rundown of some of our favorite gifts for this Father's Day.
Sole Man Gift Certificate - If you haven't heard of Buffalo's newest cobbler shop, do yourself a favor and head over to their Elmwood Ave location and check out this amazing store. Are dad's shoes looking a little rough? Take them here to give them a new lease on life.
Buck Mason Slub Tee - The tee that GQ has dubbed the best t-shirt money can buy, Buck Mason has taken the classic white tee and given it an updated silhouette with a rounded shirttail for a modern not overly fussy look.
O'Connell's x Smather's & Branson Needlepoint Hat - What else would Dad wear but a Dad hat? Sure he has his favorite Bills/Sabres hat that he wears all the time, why not give him something with a little high-end look to it with one of O'Connell's stellar needle point hats which are available in a variety of colors.
Vans Deck Club Brigata Shoes - Dad already has boat shoes, try something different with this nautical-inspired sneaker at the new Vans store which recently opened in the Galleria Mall. A combination of all of his favorite styles of casual sneakers, these are sure to work their way into his regular weekend rotation.
BFLO Gift Shop Grill Set - Speaking of the Galleria, have you stopped by the new BFLO store? If you're looking for Buffalo-themed gifts for Dad, this place literally has everything, like this very handsome grill set.
Tommyrotter Gin - Let's face it, odds are you're the reason Dad needs a drink every now and again. If he's going to drink, why not enjoy a martini made with Buffalo's own Tommyrotter Gin which recently won a silver metal at the International Sprits Competition. That's right... the second best rated gin IN THE WORLD is made in Buffalo.
The Ramones: Live in Buffalo - While Dad is outside grilling and sipping on his drink, he might as well have some great tunes to listen to while he's doing it. Did you know that the Ramones recorded a live album here in Buffalo during the late 1970's? Let him relive some of his wilder days with this great album.
