What's inside

How to choose

  • Start with his routine: the grill, the snack drawer, the coffee maker or the bar cart.
  • Shelf-stable vs perishable: sauces, salts, rubs, pecans and coffee keep in the pantry; sausage, cheese and beef need cold handling. Check each product page for shipping.
  • Heat tolerance: Harmacy's Best Sellers pack runs mild to medium; Tony's set includes Ghost Pepper and Scotch Bonnet.
  • Budget: under $30 for salts, rubs, coffee or beef bites; $35 to $75 for sampler packs; $189 for the Beck Ranch bundle.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good food gift for a dad who has everything? Something consumable he would not buy himself, like a 15-year cheddar, a smoked salt sampler or an elk jerky variety pack.

What should I get a dad who likes to grill? A rub and salt set (Texas Salt Co or Bourbon Barrel Foods) plus a steak sauce. See more in Grilling & BBQ Essentials.

Will it arrive in one box? Not necessarily. Items from different makers ship separately. See how shipping works.
