Statistics tell us that there are over 71 million dads living in the United States. But on June 18, the most important dad is yours. Here in Sarasota, we have so many amazing ways to spend the day with your father, from a Sarasota Bay cruise to an afternoon at Ed Smith Stadium.

And while we know that most people head to sporting goods, clothing or electronics stores to find the perfect Father’s Day gifts, Beneva has a few other suggestions this Father’s Day. After all – he probably doesn’t need another tie. How about something distinctly Sarasota? 

Dick Vitale is an American basketball sportscaster. A former head coach in the college and professional leagues, he is well known as a college basketball broadcaster for ESPN. He is also one of Sarasota’s favorite residents, and can be seen out and about around town on a regular basis. That is why any sports fan is sure to love this special gift assembled by Beneva. This exclusive gift set features a mini basketball personally autographed by Dickie V, himself, a bobble head figurine, Highlights CD, an autographed copy of Dick’s latest hardcover book “Living A Dream”, “The Rock” duffle bag, a key chain and an “Awesome Baby” hat. Father’s Day gifts don’t get much more fun than that.

Living in paradise, we love the tropical flowers that surround us. This Father’s Day, give dad a sophisticated and exotic bromeliad for his office. Reminiscent of beautiful Sarasota gardens, these easy care plants bring the outside in, and help to ease the pain of having to work with all the sunshine beckoning. These plants are an excellent way to add a vibrant touch without looking too flowery, and come in a range of fiery colors.

No matter your choice of gift, you can be assured that the unique selection that you can find at Beneva will be unexpected and appreciated. After all, Father’s Day gifts can be fairly predictable. This year, get him something that no one else will. Shop the Father’s Day collection, or call us to create a custom gift that is as special as your dad.
