Buy Handmade for Dad- Father's Day Gift Round-Up

Happy Father's Day to all of the dad's out there! Thank you for playing catch with us for hours even when we dropped the ball every time. Thank you for telling us we did a great job in our soccer game even when we picked flowers instead of actually playing. And thank you for making us feel like you are Superman and would save the day if we ever needed it. To show some gratitude for our main dude, shop local, indie and handmade!

Brooklyn Brew Shopis a great local shop that sells DIY beer brewing kits that would be just perfect for a dad who digs drinking.

Give him something to pour that brew into with these rad Bike Beer Steins from the Etsy store, Vital.

For the father with a green thumb, you can support his gardening habit by ordering him some organic heirloom seedlings from The Bearfoot Shaman Etsy shop.

Or take away the heavy-lifting by virtually planting a tree in his honor with the help of a Tree People dedication.

Speaking of tress, honor them by giving Dad one of these Wooden Ties made out of reclaimed wood. These are so rad and weird, they are perfect for an off-beat Father who likes to wear a conversation-starter.

For the cigar smoker (like my step dad), there are a ton of really cool vintage accessories he would love. This vintage cut glass cigar lighter from Shop the Vintage Peach is a great pick, as is this vintage aluminum cigar case from My Heirloom Charms.

And lastly, for the nautical man, like my father-in-law, try a sweet handmade tie clip like this boat design from St. Joshua.
