In light of June 1st’s recent act of antisemitic violence in our downtown, our hearts are with all those impacted— especially the Jewish community. As we move through June, we’re reminded of the importance of community, connection, and showing love to those who mean the most to us.
With that in mind, we’re kicking off this month’s blog with a Father’s Day gift guide—full of thoughtful ideas from downtown Boulder retailers to help you celebrate the dads and father figures in your life.
Hi downtown!
First off, happy June, it’s starting to feel more like summer here in Boulder (yay!). With that said, it's the perfect time to start thinking about special gifts to show fathers and fatherly figures how much you appreciate them as Father’s Day approaches (June 15th). If you’re like me and want to give your dad the perfect Father’s Day gift to express your love, look no further; your very own downtown shops offer plenty of meaningful options for dad!
Looking to spruce up Dad’s style? BoCo Life offers plenty of fun Boulder-themed tees, along with sports gear from his favorite local teams. Looking for something timeless? Head down to Classic Facets, where you can find the perfect vintage and one-of-a-kind watches, rings, money clips, and more. With summer about to be in full swing, I don’t think you can go wrong with a visit to Pedestrians Shops, where you can find a variety of comfy, active, and stylish flip flops for dad that will provide the foot support he needs.
There’s no better way to celebrate Father’s Day than spending quality time together. Swing by Color Me Mine for a fun hand-painting pottery date with dad, or simply gift him with a special work of art made with love. Craving some relaxing quality time indoors? Find hours of entertainment with Liberty Puzzles, with their unique handcrafted and custom puzzles and designs.
If none of the gift ideas I’ve mentioned are up your dad’s alley, don’t fret! Visit our Father’s Day Gift Guide 2025 for more locally owned gift ideas.
Downtown, make sure you show the dad figure in your life how much you appreciate and love them!
Till next time,
Wylie
