2019 Father's Day Gift Guide

From the Island

We have compiled an assortment of gifts for the man in your life who is either your own dad, the father to your children or perhaps someone who has loved you like family. It is our hope that the gift you choose will be enjoyed for years to come and will be a reminder to him of the love you share.

For the Lover of Art

Scallop Vignette

Glass Wave

Opera House Cup 2

Collegiate Silks

One of our most personal gifts we recommend is a piece of island inspired artwork.

Scallop Vignette: A handcrafted ode to scalloping and shell collecting by our own, Rebecca Peraner.

Cresting Glass Wave: This piece by Sarah Seabury Ward is a real masterpiece in the way she captures the depth of the sea to the cresting white of the wave.

Opera House Cup 2: A moment of energy and elegance during the Opera House Cup Race, shot by acclaimed photographer Terry Pommett.

Collegiate Silks: A unique collector’s item that honors his alma mater with an equally unique history.

For the Beachgoer

Our signature towel is an ideal length for dads-a bit longer and wider than your average towel. Featuring our quarter board logo and the shape of Nantucket, our towels are ultra-plush and extra absorbent, excellent for a long day at the beach. Pair with a great book and our beach tote for a well-rounded gift.

For the Gamer

For the dad who always rallies the family for a good game night. Update the game collection with this beautiful Nautical Blue & White Backgammon Board that honors an age old game with modern design. Also adds a unique accessory to office shelving or a coffee table.

Our Classic Boatneck Sweater was designed with Nantucket in mind.

Ultimate comfort for the dad whose heart is always on Nantucket.

Bringing Sustainability to the Table

Feb 16, 2021

Surrounded by the sea, the ecosystem it harbors, and our exquisite shorelines, we are continually reminded to protect what Mother Nature has gifted us. As 2020 became the year that paper products ran out, the call to cut back on single-use products in favor of re-usable linens was clear. See what makes our Kitchen Towels & Cotton Dinner Napkins the more eco-friendly option and why we're making the switch permanent.
