No More Neckties! 12 Delicious Gifts For A Food-Loving Dad Slideshow
12 Delicious Gifts for a Food-Loving Dad
If there's one thing every dad needs to do, it's eat and drink. So this holiday, forget the tired old cards, forget the cigar boxes, and — seriously — forget the necktie. Give your dad the gift of food this year with our comprehensive gift guide, which includes spirits, meal kits, and yes, plenty of red meat —though science says he should limit that.
Barbecue in a Box
Is Dad a grillmaster? Give him the gift of barbecue all year long with the BBQ Box subscription. For $24.99 a month, your dad will receive a sauce, a rub, a smoked edible (like beef jerky), wood chips, and a new recipe delivered right to his door.
Burgers in a Box
Everyone loves a big, juicy burger, including your old man. Though he likely already has a bunch of burger recipes up his sleeve, you can help expand his horizons with BurgaBox. This meal kit delivery service comes complete with all the fixings for indulgent, delicious, meaty burgers, for $65.
Charcuterie
Nothing is quite as comforting to your good ol' dad than some smoked meat and some spirits, right? Olympia Provisions, an authentic and house-made charcuterie and meats company from Portland, put together a hand-made salami gift set and paired it with a flask ($105) for the ultimate all-in-one gift box.
Craft Beer Brewing Appliance
Does Dad love drinking craft beer but lack the inherent talents (and space) required to make his own beer? Pico Pro ($799) takes all of the hassle out of home brewing. You just need a few of the PicoPaks (which can brew beers from the likes of Flying Dog Brewery, Pike Brewing, and Fate Brewing Company), time to ferment, and the ability to enjoy an ice cold beer.
Hot Sauce
Everything your dad cooks can have instant heat with some hot sauce. We recommend Nando's Peri Peri sauce ($7.98 for two). Using the African bird's eye chile, their array of hot sauces offer a unique kick unlike any other Dad has had before.
Indoor/Outdoor Grill
For the dad who wants to grill all year round or just in the comfort of his own kitchen, the George Foreman Indoor/Outdoor Grill is a godsend. It's lightweight, has a 15-inch non-stick surface, and produces that grilled char that everyone loves... no matter the weather.
Mini Cupcakes
Nobody can resist the deliciousness (and adorableness) of tiny cupcakes. For Father's Day, Baked by Melissa is releasing the Best Dad Ever 25-pack gift box ($32), featuring milk and cookies, triple chocolate fudge, and raspberry chip, among many other flavors.
New York Pastrami
Even if Dad can't travel to New York this summer, send him a taste of the city's most famous Jewish deli with some pastrami from Katz's Delicatessen. Available by the pound, whole, or in a package with corned beef, pickles, and all the fixings, this gift is sure to satisfy (and ships nationwide).
Steaks
If your dad is anything like ours, his dream meal is a big, juicy steak that he can grill to perfection for himself alongside a hearty baked potato. Omaha Steaks can make that dream come true with a variety of Father's Day packages, including the T-bone gift package for $59.99.
Tomahawk Ribeye
What is more manly than an eight-pound tomahawk rib-eye? We're not sure if anything is, honestly. Thus, this $125 seasoned and smoked hunk o' meat from Love Bodega is pretty much the ultimate Father's Day gift.
Whiskey
Let Dad kick back with a nice single malt Scotch whiskey this holiday (and every day). Glenmorangie Single Malt Scotch Whisky has a variety of high-quality libations, including the Glenmorangie Bacalta, a sunny, honey-scented whiskey that retails for $99.99.
Wine
If your pops is the kind who likes to lay low, consider buying him a nice bottle of wine this Father's Day. It's a simple gift, but it's one that simply says "I love you." We recommend a bold, full-bodied red wine for ol' dad. So pour a big glass for the both of you and check out 15 things you might not know about Father's Day.
