Father’s Day is right around the corner and we know how tricky finding the perfect present can be. That’s why we’ve rounded up some gift ideas that are guaranteed to score a hole-in-one – for every type of dad in your life. From clothing and books to hobby-related products and experiences, you can find it all at UTC.
Gifts, Gifts & More Gifts
He swears he “doesn’t need anything,” but dad deserves a special gift that expresses love and appreciation. For the dad who loves to golf on the weekends (and any chance he gets during the week!), head to Golf Galaxy and Dick’s Sporting Goods for plenty of apparel and accessories he’ll love under $50. If he can’t get enough of the great outdoors and enjoys hiking and extended excursions, shop 5.11 Tactical for rugged reliable gear. Looking for the best books? Head to Barnes & Noble for must-read memoirs, histories, cookbooks and more. Is he prone to losing his keys or wallet? Help him keep track of things with an Apple AirTag, available at the Apple Store or Best Buy. For the guy who loves a good laugh, crack him up with funny t-shirts, cards and accessories from Gifts and More at the Paper Store.
Make Dad’s Day By Dining Out
Give him a break from the grill and bring him to one of the fan-favorite restaurants at UTC for an unforgettable meal. Whisk dad away to our newest addition, Anna Maria Oyster Bar, for fresh Florida seafood. Or treat him to a great selection of beers and tavern fare at Oak & Stone, Yard House, Origin Craft Beer & Pizza or Ford’s Garage. If dad prefers bourbon over beer, head to Post Kitchen & Bar for its extensive collection of over 50 whiskey and bourbon varieties.
Gift an Experience
If he’s not into gadgets or going out to eat, give dad the gift of experience he will never forget. Challenge him to a friendly competition on one of the two 18-hole putting courses at PopStroke; gift him a golf lesson with a certified golf instructor at PGA Tour Superstore; pamper him with a luxurious hot shave, massage or other premier service at Mancave for Men; or treat him to a relaxing session in the infrared sauna at Perspire Sauna Studio.
BONUS: Celebrate Father’s Day early at The Mall at UTC’s Dads Day Block Party on Saturday, June 17. From 10 am to 3 pm, treat dad to beer and liquor samples, live entertainment, men’s expo with 30+ vendors, giveaways, and special meet and greets with players from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tampa Bay Lightning.
