Face it, in many ways, they’re like kids (many, many, many… but that’s another story for another day) and get a bigger kick out of gifts and surprises than they let on.
Gourmet Gift Baskets are absolutely perfect for every occasion you can think of but they might just be best for Father’s Day. Why? Because these guys can be pretty hard to shop for!
If a father or dad needs or even just wants something, he generally takes himself to the store or a favorite online website and buys it.
“I need a tool. I’ll buy a tool.”
“I need a blue top. I’ll buy a blue top.”
“My vehicle needs a such-and-such. I’ll buy a such-and such. Two while I’m at it.”
That’s why gift baskets are one of my favorite things in the world to give OR receive. First of all, you have the fun of being surprised by each gift as you pluck it from the basket. Second of all, it’s very unique and very cool stuff – especially when it’s chosen and put together by Gourmet Gift Baskets.
I chose the Barbecue Boss – BBQ Gift Basket from Gourmet Gift Baskets to review on Get Cooking for a couple of reasons:
- It’s grilling season, the time of the year fathers and husbands live for! I suspect the men in your life will LOVE this gift basket.
- My own husband loves grilling and I knew he’d get a huge kick out of this gift basket.

My gift basket (or I should say, my husband’s gift basket) came today and it’s even cooler than I expected. I LOVE the actual basket, itself. When gift baskets utilize a reusable basket, I’m one happy gal. This basket is ideal for gathering up grilling tools and/or sauces and seasonings for treks to and from the grill.
Included in this Gift Basket:
• Sriracha Teriyaki Sauce by Stonewall Kitchen – 11 oz. – A spicy dipping sauce made from sun-ripened chilis and garlic.
• Roasted & Salted Peanuts by J&R Gourmet – 2 oz. – Better than any ballpark peanuts you’ve ever tasted, roasted and salted to perfection.
• Chichester Snack Mix by Merrimack Valley Snack Company – 2 oz. – A delightful snack mix comprised of crunchy pretzel nuggets, cheddar cheese crackers, and premium nuts.
• Spicy Peri Peri & Lemon Veggie Roaster by Urban Accents – 1 oz. – A spicy blend of chili pepper, lemon peel and garlic flavor.
• Touch O’Heat BBQ Sauce by Rufus Teague – 16 oz. – All natural and gluten free, this BBQ sauce is what barbecue is supposed to taste like.
• Beef & Burger Rub by Urban Accents – 1.5 oz. – Use for grilling or roasting to bring out all the juicy flavors in whatever meat you choose.

I’m rushing to get this published as soon as possible – after all, Father’s Day will be here before you know it, but I want to just let you know that this is a wonderful and fun option for giving to the special man or men in your life. It’s a wonderful set and, as I said before, the basket can be used and reused…. and he’ll think of you each time he does so.

This is not a “gluten free” gift basket, of course.. although I know the Touch O’Heat BBQ Sauce by Rufus Teague is. There are, however, a ton of other Father’s Day gift baskets to choose from if gluten or its absence is an issue.
Below are just a few of the other Father’s Day Gift Baskets Available:
Father’s Day Fishing Gift Basket
Golfing Father’s Day Gift Basket
Gourmet Breakfast for Dad Gift Basket
Father’s Day Backyard BBQ Popcorn Sampler
These are just a few – there are MANY more. Click through any of the links and take a look around. The prices range from around $29 to over $100 and the choices are fantastic. You’ll have almost as much fun shopping for the gift basket as he’ll have opening it.
Almost.
