Who’s your daddy?

Mine is Ed. He likes delicious food, nice cars and the Andresen family cat, Sam. On warm summer days – heck, on any day, really – he enjoys firing up the Weber. And when I say “firing up,” I’m not kidding (look out, hamburgers!). Although he’s a Massachusetts transplant, his heart is in Maine.

In his honor, this year’s Father’s Day gift guide is all about products from the Pine Tree State. Your father may love to golf. Maybe he enjoys hunting and fishing. Perhaps he’s one heck of a writer. Regardless of his hobbies, I’ve found a Maine gift for almost every Maine dad. As for ShopGirl Jr. and me, we’re sticking with the only daddy we know: Ed.

For the golfer: Maine red lobster putter (photo, left), $149.99, www.myostrichgolf.com. Don’t expect him to give up his Ping – this putter is almost too pretty to use. But it will look great in his golf bag. This Old Orchard Beach-based company offers other options, such as a moose, a lighthouse and an outline of the state of Maine. For more information, visit www.myputters.com.

For the cook: Maine Food and Lifestyle Magazine, $29 for a one-year subscription, www.mainefoodandlifestyle.com (individual copies are available at bookstores and retailers throughout Maine). This gorgeous magazine, published in Camden, successfully walks the line between slick and homey. Some of the state’s best food writers share their favorite recipes featuring Maine ingredients, and as a hard-core foodie, I can attest: The restaurant pieces are always spot-on.

For the man who writes the checks: Maine wood pen and pencil set, $34, www.maineliving.com. Admit it. When you were young (or, if you’re my sister, today) your dad shelled out cash like he was your personal ATM. Repay him in spirit – if not in dollars – with this beautiful pen and pencil set available in three different finishes. I prefer the bird’s-eye maple, but either way, it might take some of the sting out of writing all those checks.

For the classic dresser: Quoddy Trail Grizzly moccasins, $162, www.quoddytrail.com. At first glance, these might look like your average mocs. But the devil (or, in this case, the angel) is in the details – a natural crepe sole, baby-soft deerskin lining, water-resistant leather uppers and hand-stitching throughout. If they wear out, the folks at Quoddy (based in Perry) will resole them for you. It’s not hard to figure out why Quoddy is a favorite of editors at The New York Times, GQ and AskAndyAboutClothes.com.

For the classic groomer: Shaving kits with handmade goats-milk soap, $15-$28, www.NaturallyBee-Ewe-Tiful.com. Regular readers of this column know I’m a fanatic about Naturally Bee-Ewe-Tiful products, made in Houlton. Now that Sandra Hare has introduced men’s shaving soaps, Dad can be, too. Individual soaps are $3 each (I recommend either the Bay Rum or Moroccan Fig), but why not spring for either a travel kit with brush or a shaving mug kit with brush and handmade pottery mug? Dad’s worth it.

For the fisherman: Limited edition ash creel by Milford craftsman Bill Mackowski, $525, www.Orvis.com. When it comes to baskets (actually, when it comes to all things outdoors) Bill Mackowski is a master, and if you’re willing to splurge, this creel – one of 30 – is the ultimate Father’s Day gift. If you’re lucky, maybe he’ll invite you over for a fish supper.

For the weekend warrior: Lawn tray, $44.95, www.thewidgetmasters.com, 825-3006. The Orrington-based Widget Masters (Ray and Dan) obviously have a sense of humor. But their lawn tray – a metal cafe table with a stake that makes sure it stays put no matter how bumpy your lawn is – shows that they also have a great sense of design. Buy one for Dad so he’ll have a safe place to rest his coffee, or a beer, after a hard day’s work in the yard.
