If your Dad is anything like mine, he’s always content yet mysteriously, never buys anything. That can make Father’s Day shopping especially challenging. Go classic this year and give your Dad something you know he’ll always appreciate — good food!
(Father’s Day is Sunday, June 19, 2011.)
Frank’s Whiskey Caramel Sauce
In case he’s never tried whiskey, we think your Dad will enjoy this caramel dipping sauce from Sweet & Saucy. Make him ice cream or another dessert to go with it and score extra points!
Beef Jerky Bouquet
Finally, a “floral” arrangement designed just for Dad! This beef jerky bouquet from Gary West Smoked Meats ships for free and includes a mixture of their traditional, cajun, teriyaki, and black pepper steak strips.
Papa Don’t Peach Bread
A favorite of Paula Dean and sons, Breadwinner’s Papa Don’t Peach Bread makes a deliciously fitting Father’s Day gift for any hardworking Dad.
Pepper Jam Gift Box
Lu Austin’s Pepper Jam Gift Box includes a sampling of their most popular jams: Raspberry Jalapeno, Blackberry Citrus Jalapeno, and Peach Habanero. Great for grilling or a hearty breakfast celebration!
Coffee Caramels
Maybe it’s just my experience, but to me there’s something inherently Dad-like about coffee and caramel. The two come together wonderfully in Hellimae’s rich Coffee Caramels — perfect for Dad’s office drawer stash!
Bella Pepper Hot Sauce
A good hot sauce is hard to find, but Bella Pepper may be the king of hot sauce brands. Both flavors are heart-healthy (low sodium) and come in totally gift-worthy glass bottles.
Creamy Pecan Pralines
Pecan Jack’s creamy pecan pralines are made with Caribbean rum and fresh Georgia pecans. Another decadent treat that Dads just love.
Pacific Island Sweet Heat Glaze
Every chief of the backyard needs his own Tiki torches and Bali booYah, a sweet heat glaze guaranteed to usher in flavors of the Pacific Islands. Just make sure you ban him from the grass skirts and coconut bras.
Batchin’ Care Package
A sweet package of TLC for the most batchin’ of Dads. This care package from Skinny Batches includes cookies and gingerbread that are low calorie and high taste.
Secret BBQ Sauce
Get your Dad armed and ready for the grill with T. Bill Lee’s Secret mustard based bbq sauce. It’s also a top choice for dipping fries, chicken fingers, and fried seafood. Don’t let him start the summer without it!
Happy Father’s Day from all of us at Fooducopia! Just for fun, what food always makes you think of your Dad?
