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...

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.
