Father’s Day is just around the corner Sunday, June 21st, so if you’re looking for a gift for Dad, look no further. Here are six Valley companies that offer Father’s Day gifts your dad will love!
Lifetime Leather Co.
Lifetime Leather Co.’s products are made entirely in-house in their Arizona workshop and they offer a lifetime guarantee on every product they sell. If your dad is into tech, choose from a selection of Apple Watch bands or this adhesive phone wallet, all of which can be customized with initials. For the more rugged dad, consider a stylish tool roll or an old-fashioned fly swatter. And of course, you can’t go wrong with the World’s Best Dad keychain. The company is currently running a Father’s day sale: 10 percent off plus free shipping on orders over $25.
Junk in the Trunk Vintage Market
This market brings together vendors in Arizona and California for massive vintage markets every year. They recently opened an online market with thousands of unique products, many of which were made or sourced here in the Valley. If your father enjoys fishing or beer, combine those loves with a fish bottle opener from Krown Vintage Treasures. Let Dad know you think he’s cool with Celebrate Your Tribe’s Rad Dad tee and Through The Porthole offers history buffs vintage leather ledgers. If you’re looking for something quirky, spend some time browsing Junk in the Trunk’s online shop – you’re sure to find a treasure Dad will love!
Sportiqe
Sportiqe is all about being comfortable – and who doesn’t want to be comfortable? Pamper Dad with the classic Olsen hoodie or the sophisticated Newport crewneck. This year, Sportiqe has teamed up with renowned local chef Chris Bianco of Pizzeria Bianco to create the Sportiqe Comfort Package: Pizzeria Bianco Edition. The package includes two tees (one from each company), a Sportiqe face covering, and sauce and dry pasta from Bianco. Note: orders placed now will arrive after Father’s Day.
Manor
Manor is a Phoenix-based retailer located in Uptown Plaza in central Phoenix that sells hip and trendy shoes and apparel. Give Dad a bounce in his step with some Nikes that are lined in python green. Keep him by the poolside all day long with a classic two-toned swimsuit and foldable Ray Bans. And you can never go wrong with a pair of socks. The store takes online orders and is open 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 11 a.m. – 8 p.m. Friday-Saturday, and 12 p.m. – 5 p.m. Sunday.
Made with Love Market
This collection of dozens of Arizona vendors is full of one-of-a-kind items that Dad will appreciate. Hunter Jaymes sells beef jerky – there’s even one that’s keto! For golfing fathers, Malisay Designs offers several golf ball markers inscribed with punny statements like “Best Dad by par.” If Dad’s quarantine beard has gotten out of control, get him beard oil from IWI Earth Organics. Or give him some quality time with you with Yardzee (oversize Yahtzee played outdoors) from Walt 7 Woodworking. All items are available for pickup in Gilbert on Saturday mornings, provided your order is placed by the Thursday before. Some items are available for shipping.
