Father's Day Events and Gift Ideas
June 17th is Father's Day this year, so be sure to honor your father (or another special father in your life) when this Sunday rolls around. Fathers will always have a special place in our hearts, so it's great when you find something really special to do with him. We've compiled a list of some gift ideas and local events that you can treat your father to: Gift Ideas
Of course, for Father's Day you always have the traditional standard gifts like a tie (try Steven Valenti in Downtown Pittsfield), sports tickets ( a Pittsfield Suns game would be fun), gift cards (Berkshire Mall, Prime Outlets), and tools (Caligari Hardware, Carr Hardware) if your dad is in to any of those things. But, maybe your dad is a little different, or maybe you just want to get him something extra special. In that case, there are some additional places that you can look (and of course, if your dad is a car guy, be sure to check out Haddad Subaru Parts Department for perfect gifts for him).
For other gift ideas, Gifts.com has created a very unique approach where you can match your dad with a celebrity or personality style. Using this profile, you can then find gifts to match! And for yet more gift ideas, you can also visit Real Simple's Father's Day Gift Guide.
