Father’s Day Ideas from RCM

We always love to find unique gifts for our wonderful Rocket City Dads, especially if we can recommend some that are Huntsville LOCAL and awesome.
Here are a few ideas for Dad that are totally do-able by this weekend. We’ve also got a whole Pinterest board full of things the kids can make and even more gift suggestions! Finally, this free printable All About Dad Page is the perfect cherry on top of their Father’s Day sundae!
The Group Golf Gift
It means a little bit of pre-planning but go in with some friends and get the guys a round of group golf at the scenic Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail. Dad gets some hang time with his buddies and you can plan a fun outing with the moms & kids while they’re out.
The Treat Yo Self Package
Like Tom & Donna, every Dad should be treated to a day of luxury. There’s a couple of places in Huntsville & Madison where he can get an old-fashioned shave, massage, and a haircut. Pampering is important, and isn’t just for moms.
Rocket Dad
Green Pea Press is sells gorgeous limited-edition prints like this of all sorts. Grab one for and head to get it uniquely framed by Bocchino Custom Framing.
Say Cheese!
Photos are always a fun gift! These DIY Photo Coasters could be a great addition to an office, and this photo idea for dads & grandpas will create a good memory.
The Gift of Local Suds
If your dad is anything like my husband, a gift of libations is ALWAYS received well. It could be a bottle of his favorite scotch or a growler & a gift card to the local taproom. There is no shortage of craft beer gift options in Huntsville – get the whole list here!
The Write Stuff
Dads that need to keep a pen handy at all time will love this elegant hand-crafted pen from Ace & Bear, a locally-owned stationary shop in South Huntsville. It’s all kinds of slick!
