Scouted Huntsville - Father’s Day Gift Guide
June is about those men we love… Dads! We scanned, searched and scouted all over Huntsville and curated the best of our Scouted finds here!
We are so excited to share with you the many ways we can celebrate our men-folk locally with this Father’s Day Gift Guide.
First up, Roosevelt & Co., our local Gentleman’s Supply Co. has beautiful leather dopp kits for travel, wallets, cufflinks, watches, money clips, stylish razors and all the shaving and grooming accessories any Dad would love!
Next up, for the Outdoorsman Dad – head over to Bullet and Barrel and check out their grand selection of hats, belts, and sportsman’s shirts and accessories! You can even book Dad some lane time at their state of the art indoor shooting range so he doesn’t even have to break a sweat!
For the Fisherman Dad: Bring the big catch home with fine art in oil by Leslie Lockhart that is gorgeous enough for the living room or office wall and awesome enough to impress his buddies in the Man-cave!
For the Grill-Master: Brooks and Collier has every kind of grill – charcoal to gas – large to compact (and all the accoutrements to go with them) for Dad to fix a grilled feast for a summer evening!
It’s about time you gave Dad the time of day! Wouldn’t a classy vintage pocket watch be a fantastic talking piece for any Dad? And Emmett Blevins has a phenomenal selection of them!
Whether your guy is an occasional reader or keeps his nose buried in a book, he’s going to love this mix of action, intrigue, and inspirational stories. The our fav local bookseller, Lady Smith of The Snail on the Wall suggests these in her curated Father’s Day Book Bundle:
American Moonshot, by Douglas Brinkley, celebrates the 50th anniversary of the lunar landing with a fascinating look at the space race during the Kennedy era.
The Helicopter Heist, by Jonas Bonnier,is a gripping novel about a spectacular heist pulled off by a group of four young Swedish men who have a lot to hide from one another.
The One Man, by Andrew Gross, is WW2 fiction about an American intelligence worker sent to sneak into Auschwitz and retrieve one particular man who has knowledge that could impact the world.
Lady also suggests any of these other compelling books that would make great gifts too.
The Cost of These Dreams: Sports Stories and Other Serious Business collects true stories from well-known athletes and coaches, including Bear Bryant and Muhammad Ali, about their dreams of greatness and the high price they sometimes paid along the way.
Bad Blood, by John Carreyrou, investigates one of our country’s biggest cases of corporate fraud, scandal, and corruption in Silicon Valley.
Into the Raging Sea, by Rachel Slade, unravels the reasons behind the sinking of the American container ship El Faro during a 2015 hurricane, which claimed the lives of 33 crew members.
The Pioneers, the newest release by beloved author David McCullough, traces the history of the settlers who began America’s migration west, overcoming incredible hardships to build a community based on American ideals.
You can order these Dad-centric titles from The Snail on the Wall Books online: Bad Blood, American Moonshot, The Helicopter Heist, The One Man, The Cost Of These Dreams, Into the Raging Sea, and The Pioneers!
Lady delivers locally, so what could be easier?!?
And finally, for that foodie dad, head on down to Walker’s Market in Five Points and pick up a ready-made gourmet meal and cocktail accessories like these for Dad’s favorite night cap!
We hope you love our Father’s Day Finds! Make sure you celebrate those special men in your lives in a way that it is important and meaningful to you. And when you’re shopping for dads or for other important events, please don’t forget to tell them Scout sent you!
