For the Dad Who Is Always in the Kitchen: Proclamation Goods

Proclamation Goods founded by Chris Burrage, former GM at Casper, and Tony Leo, former head designer at Pottery Barn, is a San Francisco-based start-up that creates intelligently designed kitchen essentials with conscience. 

Proclamation Goods’ flagship product—The Proclamation Duo, a versatile and streamlined three-piece cookware “anti-set”—was developed in response to the excessive and toxic cookware found in so many of our homes. The Proclamation Duo encompasses the 7-quart stainless steel Hybrid Pot, the 12-inch Sidekick Skillet available in stainless or carbon steel to best suit your needs and style and a Lid that fits both. Each piece can be used on its own or hinged together to create a modern Dutch oven for a vast variety of cooking options.

San Francisco Woodchart from Aldea Home

Recchiuti Confections's Whiskey Paring Collection—San Francisco

For the whiskey-sipping Dad, order Recchiuti Confections’ Whiskey Pairing Collection ($28 for 9 pieces). Like whiskey, chocolate is linked to the location where the beans are grown, creating diverse flavors that result in a balanced union. Each truffle in the collection has been selected to lead you through the tasting experience. When tasting, look for parallels in flavor and where the spirit and chocolate balance each other. The collection includes three pieces each of Kona Coffee, Honeycomb Malt, Fleur de Sel Caramel and pairing notes.

Tropical Sparkale from 21st Amendment Brewery

Treat Dad to this seasonal ale from local, Bay Area brewery 21st Amendment. A refreshing pop of island fruit and fizz with a crisp, tart pineapple flavor and sweet coconut finish, Tropical Sparkale brings a sense of relief and a reminder that we can still enjoy a "getaway" while at home.

Pick up your beer to go from their San Leandro location or search for your nearest supplier here.

Brigadeiros from TinyB Chocolates
