Father's Day: A CFG Gift Guide
Father’s Day is fast approaching! Below are a few things we’d love to receive as gifts- or give to the fathers in our own life.
Taking Dad Out(doors)
The MN State Parks Pass is the perfect gift for the dad who always wants to take a weekend trip or a day hike in our beautiful state.
The dad who treasures both activity and rest will be ticked with a travel hammock so he can put his feet up wherever he goes.
Give the gift of family time- or solo relaxation- by renting a kayak from the Mississippi River Paddle Share.
For a father invested in the future of outdoor access, a donate to Minneapolis Parks Foundation would be appreciated.
Father Foodie
For a gift that last well past Father’s Day, he’ll be grateful every morning for a subscription to Trade Coffee.
A spirit loving pop will be ticked with a variety of local whiskeys, like Norseman’s Harvest Whiskey (pictured above), O’Shaughnessy’s Irish Style Whiskey, and Brother Justus American Single Malt. Bonus points if you throw in a whiskey sniffer and organize a tasting.
If he is always on the look out for a special occasion meal, he’d be delighted with a dinner reservations to Owamni.
Help Dad answer the call to make hunger history with a gift to Second Harvest Heartland.
Man of Culture
For the dad who loves street art and is always looking for an excuse to break out the Legos, give him the Lego set of Keith Haring’s famous dancing figures.
Make it a night out with tickets to The Guthrie. Keep it classic with A Doll’s House, or on the cutting age with the new musical Come From Away.
Help build Dad’s vinyl collection with a gift card or a handful of records from Minneapolis institution Electric Fetus.
If he loves music, he might want to support the Minneapolis music scene and music education with a donation to MacPhail Center for Music.
The HomeboDy
If you know a father who’s looking for his new favorite book, give him the bestseller that’s practically made to be read in a cabin up North.
The dad who’s gotten really into grilling will appreciate an upgraded meat thermometer, like the OXO Thermocouple Thermometer from Cooks of Crocus Hill.
A set of Spanish Wine Glasses are perfect for lounging on the patio with friends or family. Buy it locally from The Foundry.
The biggest comfort is having a family that’s safe and well. A donation to Children’s Minnesota helps support their mission of giving every kid a happy, healthy childhood.
