Chelsea’s Picks

  1. Briogeo Charcoal Scalp Scrub - Dads deserve a little pampering for Father's Day too! This charcoal-based, mint-scented scalp scrub is minimalist and masculine enough for even the most low-maintenance dads!

  2. Truff Hot Sauce - For the dad who wants to add a little sophistication AND a little spice to his food! Truffle-infused hot sauce is the perfect way to spice up his Father's Day!

  3. Uncle Nearest Whiskey - For the whiskey-sipping dad in your life! This Tennessee-made, minority-led whiskey company filters their spirits through sugar maple charcoal giving it a distinctive taste that has earned it multiple international awards.

Sarah’s Picks

  1. A happier Happy Hour - This husband and wife owned Boston shop has curated wine bundles, craft beer, and sophisticated liquor, plus their very own philosophy and their own book!

  2. Breakfast in Bed - On the weekends, you will find my husband and I at this little Indie bakery near our house. You can order online for pick-up or just pop by. Don’t miss the fresh baked cinnamon buns (only available on the weekends!) or their currant scones!

  3. A gift card to Everybody Fights - The perfect gift for the dad who likes to exercise!

  4. A Good Read from Frugal Bookstore - For the bookworm in your life, a new book is always exciting! Support black-owned local business by picking up your book from Frugal Bookstore, read black voices, or help dad get educated.

  5. For the Dad who has Everything - Does dad have everything he needs? Consider making a donation in his name to help support the Black Lives Matter movement.

As you may have noticed, many of these gift ideas are for BIPOC-owned products, stores, or brands. Here at Brilliant Event Planning, we believe in diversity and equality for everyone. No exceptions. We’ve been taking a serious look our content, the brands we support, how we raise our kids, and who we work with. We are making changes both personally and professionally because we can do better. To start, we’re using our platform to amplify BIPOC voices. Many of these brands and products are favorites of ours - we hope you love them as much as we do!
