Five Gift Ideas for Dads

Buy your holiday presents locally.

 

With the holidays fast approaching, why not buy your gifts locally?

Here are five ideas that you can find right here in Andover. They will suit a dad in your life but can really be given to any family or friend on your shopping list.

1. War Room

Andover Bookstore is the second-oldest book store in America. It is on Main Street and features two floors worth of books.

War Room: The Legacy of Bill Belichick and the Art of Building the Perfect Team is a book written by Michael Holley, former Boston Globe sportswriter and co-host of WEEI’s Big Show. The book features inside information on the New England Patriots and other franchises vying for championships in the competitive NFL.

2. Droid Razr

Give the gift of one of the hottest smartphones on the market with a quick trip to Radio Shack on 28 in Andover.

The Razr, by Motorola, is reinforced with Gorilla Glass on the face and Kevlar on the back. It is also the world’s thinnest 4G LTE smartphone. The Razr features a 1.2 GHz duel core processor and 1 GB of RAM.

3. 100 Years of Fenway Park

At CVS on 28, you will find a perfect gift for anyone who is already getting fired up for baseball season.

Next season will mark the 100th season of the historic Fenway Park. Sports Illustrated is commemorating the anniversary with a special issue completely dedicated to America’s most beloved ballpark. Full of great memories and memorable photos, this issue will not disappoint even the biggest baseball fans.

4. Christmas Blend

Starbucks on 28 has 12 special holiday gift ideas and one of them is its special Christmas Blend of coffee.

This holiday favorite is the perfect gift to bring home for Dad or any other caffeine junkie on your shopping list. Waking up with this warm brew will be a great way to spend your holiday mornings.

5. Latitude

Gift the gift of fitness!

Latitude Sports Club in downtown Andover recently underwent a $100,000 makeover. A monthly membership costs only $39.99 and if Dad is interested in being more active in the upcoming year, this would make a perfect gift.
