Got a grill aficionado you're looking to shop for this year? Why not give him a taste of some serious local flavor for inspiration on his next cooking foray? Minneapolis-based and Black-owned, Soul Bowl is guaranteed to knock his socks off. Heads up, though - they are closed this Sunday to celebrate the holiday, but you can still buy a gift card online for future takeout deliciousness!
NO. 2 CLOTHES
For the practical dad, clothes and everyday accessories are always a win, and when it's a piece that's of the highest quality and handmade, well, you just can't beat it. This belt by Kingsley Leather - a Black-owned shop in the UK - is absolutely gorgeous. Its classic and simple structure make it the perfect staple for his closet.
NO. 3 PERSONALIZED GADGETS
Headphones - and Airpods specifically - are one of those universal tech gifts that everyone can get on board with. They're super practical and total game changers, and right now, Amazon is running a sale on these babies that you won't want to miss. And if he already has a pair? Give 'em personality with a custom leather case he's sure to love.
NO. 4 ON THE GO
With the confines of the pandemic still in play, but a whole summer ahead of us for the taking, more and more people are looking to the outdoors for new adventures right in their own backyards. From watching the fireworks display to enjoying a few cold brews on the lake, this Yeti cooler is the perfect gift for the dad in your life, whether he's a natural-born outdoorsman or a new explorer!
