Think long and hard. Who’s your daddy?
The Dapper Dad
He knows he looks good. Dress him up in striped, stamped, and graphic tees by West Coast line Modern Amusement (Kaleidoscope, 252 West Ponce de Leon Avenue, Decatur; 404-378-1214), then take him on a spin around the underground sneaker cave at Wish (447 Moreland Avenue; 404-880-0402).
The Provider
Treat him to dinner at The Cellar, Lobby’s sleek new private dining room (361 17th Street; 404-961-7370). Then loosen him (and his pockets) up with a tour of Atlanta Brewing Company’s bigger, beerier location (2323 Defoor Hills Road; 404-881-0300).
Mr. Suity Two-Shoes
Liven up your 9-to-5 father with jazzy business card holders (Retromodern, 805 Peachtree Street; 404-724-0093) that totally make up for his lack of jeans. Throw in a spiffy, travel-friendly shaving kit for good measure (Highland Gifts for Men, 1002 Virginia Avenue; 404-817-0470).
Sir Moneybags
Show him he’s more than just a bank teller. Gift him with a Maxx & Unicorn Co. wallet, folded and bonded with techniques from the 1940s, in electric colors that are anything but old school (DressCodes, 201 Ponce de Leon Avenue, suite 117; 404-343-2894).
Hmm. Good Question …
Please any pop’s palate with a case of Black Jack Barbecue Southern-style sauces and rubs.
After all, you’ve already got his heart. But going through his stomach is never a bad idea.
