The Ultimate Father’s Day Gift Guide

Take care of your dad’s eyes this summer with a pair of high-quality sunglasses. The Florida summer is soon upon us, so why not treat him to eye protection that not only does the job but adds some style as well? There are plenty of options to find the perfect pair across South Florida.

You could go with popular brands like Ray-Ban or Oakley, but why not support local by looking for a company that was born and raised in the area. Bajío Sunglasses is one such company, located in New Smyrna Beach. Another more popular brand is Costa Del Mar, which may be large now but its roots are firmly set in Daytona Beach.

For the dad who loves technology and staying active, a smartwatch is a great gift. Look for one that has a good waterproof rating for the man who loves to enjoy all the water sports that South Florida offers.

If your dad isn’t into sports, look for a smartwatch that can easily integrate with his other devices, especially his phone. An Apple Watch is a good option for the iOS dad, or go for the Garmin quatix 7 with boat connectivity for the fishing dad. Most of these watches offer great insight into health as well, so you’ll also be keeping the man in your life close to the data that tells him how his health is doing.

Beer and Dad is like a grill and a summer barbecue. They just go together. If your dad enjoys a nice cold brew after a long day, consider getting him a beer dispenser this Father’s Day. You’ll be gifting him the draft beer experience right in his home.

A cold, frosty, and perfectly carbonated beer right out of the tap may just be the gift that tops them all this year. There are plenty of options to choose from, whether your dad is an IPA, classic lager, or even a homebrew man. For the man who prefers not to indulge in alcohol, there are many non-alcoholic options available as well.

Consider a high-quality leather wallet, belt, or custom monogrammed bag this Father’s Day. It’s a great way to gift your dad something personalized and practical. You could go for a special message included on the gift or something simpler like just including his name or initials.

There are plenty of local companies in South Florida who can help you with the perfect gift. Some use laser and embossing, while others do it the old-fashioned way with tooling leather, a branding iron, and a special pen. It’s a great gift idea that will last for many years.

Sometimes all dads want is to get their family together and share a few memorable hours as it once used to be. What better place than Galuppi’s, one of Pompano Beach’s favorite restaurants, where you’ll all get to enjoy a welcoming atmosphere with live music and breathtaking views. Worrying about catering and cleaning up doesn’t have to feature this Father’s Day as we have a wide selection of dishes that cater to every man and his family. Cold beers? Of course.

This Father’s Day, let your dad relax alongside his family while Galuppi’s takes care of everything else. It’s a gift of great music, exceptional food, a warm atmosphere, excellent service, and time well spent as a family. Book a table at Galuppi’s this Father’s Day to reserve your spot before they fill up.

For dads who love fishing, booking a deep-sea fishing charter may put you in the favorite spot this year. South Florida offers some of the best fishing spots, with charters available in Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and the Florida Keys.

Look for a company that offers expert guides and high-quality gear, and knows just where to catch fish such as marlin, tuna, and mahi-mahi. Spending a day on the water is a great way for fathers to unwind and enjoy the beauty of the Atlantic Ocean.

For the dad who loves spending time on the course, a round of golf at Pompano Beach Golf Club is a perfect Father’s Day experience. The 18-hole championship course features a challenging but scenic layout. It doesn’t matter if Dad is a hacker or a scratch golfer — the opportunity to spend time on the course will be a great gift this Father’s Day.

You could gift an entire four-ball for those in the family who play, combining a great game with some family time. It’s not only the golf that he’ll enjoy, but the drinks at the clubhouse after where the day’s best and worst shots will be debated. After drinks, head over the Galuppi’s which overlooks the course for post-game festivities.

While this is a gift that won’t come cheap, a helicopter tour over Miami, Fort Lauderdale, or the Florida Keys is a truly memorable experience for the dad in your life who always goes over and above. He’ll get to view the South Florida landscape from above, taking in the cities, landscape, and the Atlantic Ocean.

There are plenty of options to choose from and a variety of prices, depending on what sort of experience you’re looking to gift him and for how long. When choosing a tour company, make sure you find someone reputable with good reviews.
