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, as well as products we love from other popular brands.

From not-so-average outdoor chairs to floating sunglasses, it might be hard to just buy one gift. There’s something for every type of dad.

Outdoor explorer
Have Dad explore the outdoors while wearing this vintage snow wash dad hat by Rainier Watch and Bahias floating sunglasses by Rheos. Will Dad need a place to store things while outside? No problem. Check out these extra roomy fanny packs by Burlaep.

Foodie father
If you really want to kick things up, spice up Dad’s next meal with this citrus habanero hot sauce by Sobremesa.

The homebody
Freshen up your dad’s space with this Father’s Day 2-Pack For Him by the Wixology Candle Company. This candle set features the “Bourbon Neat” and “Nightcap” scents.

Dapper dad
Who said dads can’t appreciate a good outfit? For the father who likes to keep it fashionable, check out this Agave button-down shirt by Block + Ink and golf shirt by Kennedy Gray.

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 Father’s Day list is a great shopping guide, 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.

News Notes
Development
  • Developers have proposed adding housing units to a seven-story, mixed-use building near the SAP Center in an effort to fill vacant space. Vespaio currently has 162 housing units, and 32,600 sqft of office + commercial space — which is currently being underused. Ninety percent of existing residences are leased. (The Mercury News)
Community
  • Homelessness decreased by 4.7% over the past 12 months in San Jose, according to a preview of Santa Clara County’s point in time count. As the city opened more affordable and interim housing sites, the population of people living in shelters was found to have increased by 12.9%. (San José Spotlight)
Civic
  • The San Jose Planning Commission voted 7-3 in favor of decreasing the distance requirements between cannabis retailers and community spaces. Last year, City Council voted to allow dispensaries in commercial areas, not just industrial zones. Currently, one dispensary is estimated to bring in $1 million annually in city revenue. (San José Spotlight)
Outdoors
  • The Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority’s Board of Directors awarded more than $910,000 of grant funding to 13 local organizations. The money will go towards improvements and restoration work at current natural spaces, as well as classes, programs, and special events to encourage residents to connect with and protect nature.
Coming Soon
  • A French Vietnamese restaurant named Elyse + a Greek taverna named Nemea are taking the spots of shuttered businesses. Angkor Chef, Angelou’s Mexican Grill, Mas Pizza, and El Cabron Kitchen & Cantina will also stake a claim on First and Fernando streets. (The Mercury News)
Sports
  • The San Jose State Spartans baseball team claimed the Mountain West Baseball Championship trophy after a 12-9 win over the Air Force Falcons. The team now receives the conference’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament — SJSU’s first trip to the tournament in 21 years. (Inside The Spartans)
Ranked
  • According to a new study from tech trade association CompTIA, San Jose leads the US as the city where tech encapsulates the largest portion of the local economy. Tech salaries account for more than 57% of the local economy, whereas in SF, it’s ~27%. (BayAreaInno)
Biz
  • The Fountain Alley Building has recently leased several businesses that city officials hope will support downtown’s post-pandemic recovery. Among the new leases are BAR Bitter, Goodtime Bar, Hula Bar & Kitchen, Fox Tale Fermentation project, and Scratch Cookery. (The Mercury News)
Finance
  • Refinance rates are skyrocketing. But home equity rates remain relatively low — which means that now is a great time to borrow against your home. Unlock your home equity.*
