Presents for every dad

Dad will stand out with these gifts from our online store Six & Main. | Graphic by 6AM City

Why buy your dad a boring gift when you can shop our online store (Six & Main) and find the perfect, most exciting present?

Surprise the father figure in your life with a gift that is sure to stand out. To assist in your search, we’ve created a gift guide featuring items from our store and products we love from other popular brands.

From coffee to well-crafted furniture, it might be hard to just buy one gift. There’s something for every type of dad.

Coffee-loving dad
For the father who appreciates a good cup of coffee, you’ll want to support Methodical Coffee, a brand based in Greenville. Have Dad get a taste of the Methodical Collection Sample Box, which features nutty and chocolatey to citrus flavors.

Traveling dad
Dads on the go can benefit from this Buffalo leather dopp kit by Jack Foster, a local brand. This spacious travel kit is perfect to store toiletries.

Outdoor explorer
Dad enjoy sitting outside on summer days? Get this Amish-made solid pine wood Adirondack chair designed by Palmetto Craft.

Foodie father
If you really want to kick things up a notch, get this citrus habanero hot sauce by Sobremesa.

Art collector
Gift your art-loving dad with a Joseph Bradley Studio piece such as this The Sound of Wings & Hooves artwork.

Techie dad
Give Dad a listening upgrade with the second generation AirPods Pro. Or help ease muscle soreness with the Theragun Mini 2.0. Plus, this portable neck fan will make everyone laugh — but catch Dad using it the very next day.

While this list is a great way to start shopping for Dad, we’re working to grow our store, Six & Main, and would love to add more local vendors. If you know any local brands we should be promoting, let us know.

Keep shopping for Father’s Day

Kayakers on the water at Goodale State Park.

There are plenty South Carolina waterways filled with natural beauty to explore, and the Olde English District (Chester, Chesterfield, Fairfield, Kershaw, Lancaster, Union + York Counties) is home to a lot of them. | Photo provided by Olde English District

The summer season is almost here, Greenville. That means sunny days filled with outdoor activities are ahead.

Here are a few of our fave ways to hit the water so you can plan the perfect trip to the Olde English District:

Paddle past the blooming Rocky Shoals Spider Lilies at Landsford Canal in June.
Kayak + canoe at state parks like Cheraw State Park in Chesterfield County and Goodale State Park in Kershaw County.
Check out the larger bodies of water in the region, including Lake Wateree, Lake Wylie, and Lake Monticello for water sports.*
