Your dad probably does not want another leather wallet.
He might want a case of IPA. But you can do better than that.
This Father's Day, we're making the case for shopping local. Whether that's dinner at your favorite hole-in-the-wall, a day out in the Valley, or skincare he'll actually reach for every morning, here's our quick guide to gifts worth giving this year.
1. Beer Soap Trio
For the dad who loves beer but deserves more than a six-pack.
Each bar is infused with beer from Hudson Brewing Company and goat milk from a farm in Millbrook, NY. It gently cleanses, nourishes his skin, and smells exactly like it sounds. The kind of thing he'd never buy himself but will absolutely come back for.

The gift that keeps giving all year.
An America the Beautiful Pass gets him into every national park, federal recreation area, and wildlife refuge in the country for 12 months. It's an experience, not a thing. And if you go with him, even better.
3. Bay Rum Shower Gel + Body Lotion
For the dad who isn't afraid to moisturize.
Bay rum is one of the oldest grooming scents around. Warm, classic, and unmistakably masculine. This set is made with locally sourced ingredients, actually works, and gives back to Hudson Valley farms with every purchase. Simple, effective, and something he'll use.

The Hudson Valley is one of the best backyards in the country. Use it.
Take him garage sale hunting through Rhinebeck or Red Hook on a Saturday morning. You never know what you'll find, and it's genuinely one of the best ways to spend a few hours up here. Or book a tour of the Vanderbilt Mansion in Hyde Park. The grounds alone are worth the trip, and it's the kind of history that actually sticks with you.
No wrapping required. Just show up.
5. Dinner at a Local Restaurant
No holiday is complete without eating.
Skip the chain and book a table somewhere local. The food is better, the experience is better, and it feels genuinely good to put that money back into your community. No gift wrap required.
6. Shaving Try-Me Gift Bag
For the dad who thinks skincare isn't for him.
Two-ounce sizes of our body wash and body lotion. Enough to try, not enough to feel like a commitment. The soap alone will win him over. Low pressure, high reward.
