      Father’s Day is near (Sunday, June 16), and there’s a father figure in your life you want to celebrate. Trouble is, you’re without a plan. Instagram keeps serving you great gift ideas for monogrammed barware and custom-printed socks—but you have definitely missed that shipping window. You need something local … something you can pick up ASAP.

      Here are 13 Cincinnati-area spots to grab great Father’s Day gifts or plan special outings for Dad’s day.

      CincyShirts (3 locations in Greater Cincinnati)

      Choose from the “Cinci-daddy” Father’s Day collection, or pick a shirt celebrating his favorite sports team or local delicacy. If they don’t have the size or style you want, CincyShirts can print it on-site, usually within minutes.

      Great American Ball Park and Reds Team Shop (downtown)

      The Reds are out of town on Father’s Day, so stop by the ballpark to pick up team gear and tickets to one of the six home games they’ll play during the rest of June.
