Father's Day Gift Ideas
Posted on Jun 11, 2008 5:03:12 AM  |  By JenniferSbranti

Chances are good that dad already has enough neck ties and socks to survive for a while, so why not think outside the box this year and surprise him with some cool tools and accessories for cooking & entertaining. If you're shopping for a guy that likes to grill (meat), sip (wine), or swigg (beer), here are a few gift ideas that just might be of interest to you...



Fathersdaygifts_1



1. Kebab Forks
A safer, easier way to cook & flip kebabs! No more messing with individual bamboo or metal skewers… these nifty Kebab Forks will keep dad’s fingers away from the burning heat. ($14.95/set of 3 forks at solutions.com)



2. Hamburger Press with Handle
Help dad make perfect patties the easy way with this cool, 2-piece press. For a thoughtful combo gift, pair this useful kitchen tool with a Weber® Smokey Joe Grill or a book featuring gourmet burger recipes. ($19.95 at Crate&Barrel)



3. Weber® Smokey Joe Grill
A bright green, portable grill that goes wherever dad does… to the beach, campsite, tailgate party, deck, or patio. And at only $49.95, this fabulously modern design comes with an equally fabulous price! ($49.95 at Crate&Barrel)



4. Ultra-Bright BBQ Light
It’s no fun grilling in the dark – brighten things up with this super-bright, battery-operated LED light! ($29.95 at solutions.com)



5. Hot Dog Grill Cooker
Say bye-bye to burnt hot dogs and hello to more space on your grill. These stainless steel racks stand upright and prevent hot dogs and kebabs from rolling around. Better yet, they transfer heat into the stainless steel tines to help cook food from the inside out instead. When grill season is over, you can still put them to use...in the oven! ($9.95 at solutions.com)

Cheese connoisseurs will love this premium bamboo cheeseboard set, which comes complete with an aluminum and wood cutting surface, cheese wire, and top-quality stainless steel tools. Oh, ya – and it looks great too! ($34.95/set at coolyourgrapes.com)



9. Cellar Wine Rack
This freestanding wine rack looks fabulous on its own – but you can also stack several of them together to create a whole bevy of ultra-stylish storage space for wine lovers! ($39.95 at cb2.com)

One year, I gave my husband the Mr. Boston Bartender's Guide along with the fixings for an unusual drink. I saw him consult the little red book the other night, so it has definitely come in handy since then!

Great Ideas and if you want another idea - give your father the friendship stone. I love the way it is packaged - the positive message, the beautiful stone and that it is a give-back gift makes it number one on my list.
they also have a Father's day discount!
Check it out !
