Father's Day Gift Ideas

Dad's Giftbaskets
What are you going to get your dad for Father's Day?
If he's hard to buy for, a themed gift basket is a great option.
You simply base the entire gift around one of his hobbies
or one of his favorite activities!
Father's Day Gift Ideas:




*You can make a "fly fishing" themed basket or purchase one already made. This idea comes via delish.com and was inspired by countryliving.com
If Dad spends summers wading streams and winters tying flies, hook his attention with fishing gear, top-shelf spirits, and a spicy homemade breading for his catch.

Present your gifts in this sturdy, vintage fishing creel, which can also serve as a stool in the field. $105; greatstuffbypaul.com.
Grill it: Ideal for the campfire or the kitchen, Nordicware's two-piece Fish Boat with vent holes can be used to broil, smoke, or grill whole fish. $30; nordicware.com.
Made to order: Mix up a spicy cornmeal breading using just a few simple ingredients
A fine malt: For the man who appreciates the art of passing time, the Macallan Single Malt Highland Scotch Whisky will hit the spot. Although it may be a bit of a splurge, we're partial to the smooth, smoky flavor of the 21-year-old Fine Oak. $120; themacallan.com.
The scoop: To help Dad land the big one this summer, clip this durable, handcrafted, Nylon Net Bag Brodin Nets to his fishing vest. $79;orvis.com.

*What about the father who travels for business alot? This skin care gift bag from Sephora.com is sure to please (and keep his skin looking great!)

The Ultimate Gift by Tabasco (as seen on gifts.com)

Give the ultimate TABASCO® Gift. Filled with spicy treats, including everything from Chili to Steak Sauce and even spicy snack treats, this basket is sure to "warm" the heart of its recipient. It also includes the TABASCO® Family of Flavors pepper sauces: Original Red, Jalapeno Green, Chipotle, Garlic, Habanero, as well as Cheez-its, woodchips for the grill and much, much more.
