5 Thoughtful Gifts To Give Dad This Father's Day

VENICE, CA — Dads support us and care for us. They're around or just a phone call away when we need them. And on Father's Day this Sunday, it's great to celebrate the person who always has your back.

Here are five gift ideas for your dad or father figure this year:

A Simple Feast

Sometimes it's better not to worry about what's for dinner. That's where a Simple Feast comes in. This meal-delivery service provides vegetarian meal options right to your door and gives you the filling, nutritious selections and creativity so you don't have to worry about planning out every meal. It's fun to try and it's perfect for the foodie dad. The meal kits are locally sourced from California farms, USDA Organic, plant-based and completely compostable/recyclable. It's available for anyone in the Greater Los Angeles area. Visit the website for more information and to make your order.

Randy's Donuts

Homer Simpson knows that donuts are key. So you know that you can't go wrong with this donut classic. The iconic LA donut shop offers tons of flavors and choices for dad. Plus, who doesn't like sweets? Randy's is also baking up DAD Donuts. It's a Bavarian cream-filled, raised donut topped with blue vanilla icing, priced $2.85 each or $32 per dozen. These donuts are available at all locations, including Inglewood and Torrance. Get dad a dozen to taste and share — but only if he wants to.

Flower Boy Project, 824 Lincoln Blvd., Venice

Who says men don't like flowers? Bring dad some coffee, a pastry, card, or even make your own bouquet with Flower Boy's incredible selection and gift shop in Venice. They've got hats, coffee mugs, candles, and tons of options that will make dad smile and feel special. Step inside and pick up something unique for your loved one. You can ask for help to make a bundle, or create something one-of-a-kind for your father.

Fia Restaurant, 2454 Wilshire Blvd., Santa Monica

Buy your papa a drink (or two) and grab some food. Fia Restaurant has a packed cocktail menu with classics like Old Fashioned or Paloma, along with shaken options "Smoke Show" with mezcal and passion fruit or "Brighter Days" with bourbon, lemon and honey. Check out the full menu, including starters, handmade pastas and seasonal items fresh off the grill. You can't go wrong with a drink and some grub.

Menudo Morning, Abbot Kinney Boulevard

Bring dad to a free low-rider and menudo morning on Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice. This is a great way to celebrate Father's Day with car-obsessed dads who love menudo, family and music. The family-friendly event asks people to wear masks and physically distance. DJ SoulLife and DJ Krye will be there to drop the funky jams and keep the morning party going. It starts at 8 a.m. Sunday. "No drama. Respect the space," organizers say.
