There is less than a month until Father’s Day. This means it is time to think about what to get Dad, now! Thankfully, Santana Row has a large selection of clothing, accessories, sports gear, and more for Dad this Father’s Day. Love that!

Before presenting Dad with his fabulous Father’s Day gift from Santana Row, why not treat him to a little pampering; Dad-style on the Row! You can schedule a test drive appointment at Tesla on Father’s Day so that Dad can check out the new electric SUV! He will love it.

After Dad test drive’s the hot new Tesla SUV, why not treat him to a fabulous meal at The Counter, Rosie McCann’s, Maggiano’s, or LB Steak. If Dad is vegetarian, Veggie Grill is a great place to go!

Now that Dad has driven a fabulous, electric SUV, and he has enjoyed a yummy meal, it is time to present him with his Father’s Day gift. Now what to give him. . . Read on for my Father’s Day gift picks from Santana Row!

Brooks Brothers: for the conservative dresser

Brooks Brothers is the ultimate go-to destination for the Dad who has traditional, preppy, and/or conservative style. If Dad wears suits to work, why not get him a fabulous tie! If he likes to stay conservative, yet push the style envelope just a bit, why not get him a bow-tie! This early 1900’s men’s style is making a resurgence. He can remain in his suit, yet spice things up with a bow-tie. Love that!

 My Brooks Brothers Picks for Father’s Day:

Does Dad need a vacation? Why not book a beach getaway for your Dad and present him with the perfect shirt, and hat, to wear on his relaxing getaway! Tommy Bahama has the perfect vacation clothing for Dad. You are sure to find a fabulous Hawaiian shirt, sun hat, and shorts for any beach day, or getaway.

They also have a wide selection of gift items which Dad is sure to love. Does Dad love beer? Maybe he has always dreamed about making his own beer! Why not give him a beer making set! You can also offer to make the beer with him . Sometimes the gift of time is the perfect gift companion.

After you help Dad make his beer, he will need some mugs for that beer. I love the beer mug set pictured above. Dad will love it too!

Scotch & Soda is a new store which has recently opened at my favorite place to shop; Santana Row! The shop offers both men’s and women’s clothing which I like to describe as “cutting-edge casual.” I fell in love with so many pieces while I was shopping in the store for the first time. There was a beautiful leather tee-shirt, a fabulous pair of space print jeans and a cozy burgundy sweater which were calling my name. Although those three pieces remain on my wish list, I did purchase this casual top featured in the photos above. I love the sparkling green stripes and the soft fabric. If you are local to the Bay Area, definitely take some time to check out the new Scotch & Soda store at Santana Row. I would love to hear what you think!
