We’ve got a good feeling about this one. Who doesn’t love something sweet? Show Dad you love him with local chocolates and/or ice cream. The more you give, the more he’ll love you. We’re joking. But really, he needs this in order to put up with you.
A Classic from Chicago Comics

Get Dad a treasure from Chicago Comics. Perhaps surprise him with one of his childhood favorites or a comic from the year he was born. Sometimes the older it is, the more expensive. Aren’t dads the same way? What an excellent reminder that fathers only get more valuable with age.
Rep the Team with Clark Street Sports

You already know your dad loves you but you know who else he loves? The Cubs. And let’s be real, they’ve been around way longer than you.

3251 N. Broadway | (773) 883-9119

Fur Baby Apparel from Bark by the Park
2936 N. Clark | (773) 658-9663
If your only child, or maybe your favorite child, is your pet, we haven’t forgotten about you! Perhaps a matching raincoat or a bowtie collar? It will make dad’s day seeing his little man dressed to the nines.
The Snack He Really Wants from Wells Street Popcorn
2804 N. Clark | (773) 549-7800
Sit dad down in his favorite chair and put a big tub of fine popcorn in his hands. This idyllic Father’s Day image would not be the same without Wells Street Popcorn.
