The Conversation
Stumped on what to get the big guy this Father's Day? We've got you covered with some pretty epic food- and beverage-focused presents that range from cheeky and casual (hello, lobster tie) to state-of-the-art luxe (you've gotta see the tailgate on wheels). Click through for palate-pleasing prezzies (for every price range) that will inspire Dad to dole out all the #WorldsBestKid awards.
Taco Mania Man Crate ($100): This all-in-one box has everything he'll need to recreate his very own taco stand: a tortilla press, tortilla corn flour, tortilla warmer, Formosa hot sauces, and the book
Tacos, Tortas, Tamales: Flavors from the Griddles, Pots, and Streetside Kitchens of Mexico.
Crafthouse by Fortessa Smoking Box and Handheld Smoker ($250): We bet he doesn't have this, even if he has every other crazy tool, gadget, and gizmo ever invented. Fontessa's Crafthouse will let him infuse cocktails or food with apple and hickory smoky flavors simply by loading up the smoking gun with the wood chips of his choosing and pressing a button.
Gaea Oil & Vinegar Gift Set ($35): The dad who knows his cooking olive oils from his finishing ones will love Gaea’s oil and vinegar gift set. It combines single varietal olive oil from Crete and rare aged vinegar from Santorini. All Dad needs is a fresh loaf of bread to mop up the deliciousness.
ISlide Grill Master Slides ($50): This is the ultimate accessory for the dad who's happiest when he's got a pile of hot coals and a feast to grill. PS If he's a Shark Tank fan, he'll dig these even more since they were featured on the show.
Green Chef ($10+): Whether he's going GF, vegan, vegetarian or paleo this week, make sure he's set up for success with Green Chef's diet-specific healthy meals. The best part (besides the fact that they'll delivered directly to your front door)? You guys will be able to cook them together.
Casa Noble Joven Tequila ($70): Perhaps Dad falls under the hard-to-buy-for man category but fancies himself a tequila authority. One-up his current bar cart collection with Casa Noble's award winning Joven Tequila. With notes of earthy agave and tropical fruit, it's ideal for sipping or creating one-of-a-kind libations.
Harry & David Father’s Day Ice Cream Assortment ($70): Who hasn't caught Dad making a midnight ice cream run to the freezer on more than one occasion? At least point the way for him with clearly labeled “Property of Dad” and “World’s Coolest Dad” pints. They’re filled with delicious flavors like sea salt caramel, double vanilla bean with cashew brittle, chocolate with chocolate chunks, and malted milk swirls with chocolate-covered malt balls and caramel.
Vineyard Vines Lobster Toss Tie ($85): If he deems himself the king of cracking claws, he needs some swag to go along with his bragging rights. Plus this lobster tie is more stylish than the bib, don't cha think?
Belle Meade Bourbon Cognac Cask Finish ($80): Aged in casks that once held the world's finest Champagne XO Cognacs, this bourbon finishes with notes of cedar and allspice.
Omaha Steaks Protein Perfect Gift Set ($80): The meat eater of the family will be pretty pumped to open a box of Omaha's prized ribeyes, filet mignons, boneless pork chops, and top sirloins that he can fire up any night of the week.
Igloo Trailmate Journey Cooler ($260): Let your favorite sports fanatic take the party with him. This cooler on wheels has everything he needs for a day full of fun: an insulated body, butler tray for serving snacks and drinks, two bottle openers, self-draining cup holders to keep cold ones cold, and mega wheels that tackle any tough terrain.
Gold Monogram "Dad" Double Old-Fashioned Glass ($15): Let him think of you every time he's mixing an old fashioned, a Manhattan, or whiskey on the rocks with this gilded glass.
Breville Crispy Crust Pizza Maker ($150): You’ll never have to settle for sad-looking slices again once Dad gets his hands on this gourmet pie maker that excels in the art of the crispy crust.
Vitamix E310 Explorian Blender ($350): Smoothies, protein shakes, soups, salad dressings, and more... Vitamix's classic blender, featuring a two peak horsepower motor, will make Dad feel like he's using a power tool — only in the kitchen.
AnySharp Pro Sharpener ($22): He won’t be able to get enough of his new toy, which will keep you from having to buy him a whole new set of knives from overuse.
Smeg Espresso Machine ($450): It just doesn't get any fancier than this well-crafted (and multifunctional) espresso machine that also prepares cappuccino and lattes. Now all you have to do is watch his caffeine intake...
