Top 10 Gift Ideas for Father's Day

At Past and Present Home Gallery we hear it all the time:

“What do I get my Dad?”

So if you’re shopping for Father’s Day, his birthday, or any other special occasion, here are our top ten recommendations for telling Dad how much you love and appreciate him.

#10: Fishing Lures
We have an extensive collection of fishing lures that have come from all over the world. These small pieces of art vary from antique to rare to vintage one-of-a-kind. Shop all three levels to find our full selection and pick out the perfect pieces for Dad.

#9: Cast Iron Banks
These beautiful pieces of nostalgia are great additions to Dad’s collection.  Our store features original and vintage reproductions depicting a variety of subjects as well as classic mechanisms and the more intricate devises.

#8: Beer and Bar
Put the finishing touch on Dad’s Man Cave with memorabilia fixtures from his favorite brews like Grain Belt, Miller High Life, Schmidt, and Hamm's. Our selection includes everything from steins and pitchers to beer taps and pool lights.

#7: Les Kouba Art Print
Send Dad home with an iconic piece of Minnesota art in a print from artist Les Kouba. Kouba’s art depicts the breathtaking wild life of our state as well as nostalgic scenes from hunting and fishing trips. Shop our collection and find prints of all sizes from Kouba as well as other well-known artists.

#6: Animal Mount
Whether Dad loves hunting or fishing, an animal mount hanging on his wall allows him to enjoy all of those happy memories while the season is closed. Choose from a variety of mounts including buck, fish, pheasants, and caribou. If there’s not enough room for a full sized mount, try an antler or horn set instead. These smaller pieces make a beautiful statement while leaving room on the wall for Dad’s other favorite memories.

#5: Antique and Vintage Toys
Speak to Dad’s inner child with vintage and antique toys. Past and Present Home Gallery has a large selection of car models, pressed tin, antique cast-iron, and more from the best toy makers from yesteryear like Tonka, Tootsie, Arcade and many others. Also, check out our brand new selection of Roy Rogers memorabilia.

#3: Cast Aluminum Statues
You will find a unique selection of cast aluminum animals from eagles and bears to buck and buffalo. These fantastic statues are finished for indoor and outdoor use which makes them the ideal statement piece down by the dock, in the flower bed, or inside by the hearth.

 

#2: Sports Collectibles
Whether Dad is into playing sports or being his team’s number one fan, Past and Present Home Gallery has an extensive selection of unique memorabilia pieces he doesn’t have yet. Our collection includes items from all of our Minnesota sports teams and others. Make Dad’s day with a one-of-a-kind fan piece for his Man Cave.
