This prezzie features 19 Crimes red wine, Charleston-roasted coffee, 3 kinds of local jerky including Prime Rib, Cherry Maple + Cajun BBQ, Savannah Bacon salsa, Olde Colony Bakery Benne Wafers, plus Jalapeño Lime tortilla chips and a succulent.

🧭 The Adventurer
If you rarely find your dad on the couch — or if you find him there too often — these Holy City excursions are perfect. Snag a voucher for Secret Food Tours: Charleston, good for a year. Or, book a Charleston’s Alleys and Hidden Passages tour on Father’s Day. These intriguing journeys will captivate even the most seasoned adventurer.

These little guys are selling out fast, so grab one while you still can.

According to the website, you can find “just about every new and used Charleston book ever written.” Plus, there’s nothing better than a new paperback for the summer.
