Need a last minute gift for Father’s Day? Don’t worry. We’ve got you covered with our picks for local shops with gifts for every kind of dad (even the one who has everything). 

For the fashion dad:

Hanover Blue
1100 Hixson Pike #112, Chattanooga, TN 37405
(423) 531-2120

If your dad is the type who likes to look put together, a safe bet for gift shopping is Hanover Blue. With everything from Southern-style Collared Greens bow ties and Euro chic Billy Reid shirts, there are options for whatever his style. Hanover Blue also offers beautiful leather accessories, fun sunglasses and Yeti products. Bonus, this Riverview shop neighbors Alice Blue and Verde Boutique, in the event that you need to do a little shopping of your own. 


For the foodie dad:

Chattanooga Market: Father’s Day Bacon, Brews and Blues
829 Carter St, Chattanooga, TN 37408
June 18, 2017 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. 

Give dad the gift of your time this year with a trip to the special Father’s Day themed Chattanooga Market. Let Dad relax and enjoy some local blues music on the EPB stage and even sample some local craft brews to boot. Have a bacon cheeseburger for lunch from a local food truck and then find a gift for him from one of the many local venders. We recommend Alchemy Spice, a local company that produces artisan spice blends and food products, including spice rubs like the Jamaican Jerk Seasoning and Mediterranean and Italian dipping oils. 

For the outdoorsy dad: 

 

Whatever dad’s into, from fly fishing to hiking to camping, Rock/Creek is a great place to grab a fun gift. A great choice that covers a multitude of interests are the Yeti tumblers, which are actual magic in that they keep drinks cool even in the blazing sun outside. If he’s already all set with Yeti gear, there are plenty of options still at Rock/Creek from clothing, books on the outdoors and even a gadget or two. (You know dads love gadgets.)


For the drink connoisseur dad:

Imbibe Chattanooga 
1616 Broad St, Chattanooga, TN 37408
423-777-4820

If you haven’t been to Imbibe yet, you already need to check it out anyway, so you might as well shop for dad while you’re there! This Broad Street wine, spirits, and beer store is more than just a grab-and-go libation spot. In addition to the extensive selection of wine, spirits, and beer, Imbibe offers daily samples from the tasting bar, growlers with twenty beers on tap, demonstrations of craft cocktails, and…drumroll…gifts. Elegant stemware and decanters, sophisticated shakers and flasks,  and modern barware and tools, are just some of the things you can find there Father’s Day. 


For the southern gentleman dad: 

Onward Reserve Chattanooga
Warehouse Row, 1110 Market St #108a, Chattanooga, TN 37402
(423) 362-5714

He loves pastel polos, golf and boat shoes. He’s southern and proud of it. We get the vibe of the southern gentleman dad, and we suggest stopping by Onward Reserve Chattanooga to find the perfect gift for him! This shop offers everything from clothing to coffee table books to coozies. There are so many options that would be the perfect gift for dad, it’s impossible to list them all. Luckily this men’s store is located inside Warehouse Row, so you’re just around the corner from J.Crew and other shopping in the event that you have other things to buy along the way!
