Father’s Day Gifts by Personality: One-of-a-Kind Gifts for the One-of-a-Kind Dad
When it comes to dads, no two of them are the exact same, yet all of them are impossible to shop for, especially on Father’s Day when the pressure is really on.
While there may not exist a one-size-fits-all Father’s Day gift solution, The Americana at Brand has something special for every type of father, no matter how unique (or picky) he may be.
Show pops he’s number one with these second-to-none gift ideas, now trending at The Americana at Brand.
When ties and golf balls won’t do the trick, look to the cool new tech toys on the block to turn dad’s smile up a few megawatts.
Snapchat Spectacles
Snatch up a pair of Snapchat Spectacles, now dispensing at the Snapbot.

Save dad from the tangled mess of wired headphones during his workouts with Apple’s game-changing AirPods. Just pop them in, tap and enjoy five hours of talking and listening on a single charge.
