A Gift for Men Who Love Pizza
By my estimation, a dedicated pizza oven would cost about 5000 pizza deliveries. But here’s an affordable solution. It turns out you can make a proper Wood-Fired pizza right on your backyard grill.
Enter the Kettle Pizza stainless steel inserts, which are beautifully designed, simple to use, and so brilliant. They will turn your outdoor charcoal or gas grill into a pizza oven capable of reaching 750 degrees. Magnifico! As seen on America’s Test Kitchen, The Today Show, and the Steve Harvey Show, this is the gift that will transform your grill into a pizza oven with results worth bragging about.

A Gift for Men Who Love a Good Burger
Complete Shake Shack Burger Grilling Kit for 8 (you supply the tomato and lettuce)
Shake Shake knows the joy of those summer afternoons. Even their name unreservedly harkens back to a simpler time. They have distinguished themselves with a signature burger blend of 100% Angus beef, hormone and antibiotic-free devised by Pat LaFrieda. And since Father’s Day falls the day after the first day of summer, maybe a burger kit for 8 from Shake Shack is the perfect ode to days gone by. The kit supplies everything but the lettuce and tomato.

Gifts for the Steak-Loving Dad
Chicago Steak Company Steak Gifts
If you are ordering steak as a gift, you want it to be higher quality than what is available at the grocery store. To do that focus on two things: 1. The grade of beef, and 2. The aging process, and whether it is wet aged or, preferably, dry aged.
We go into the finer details about beef grades and aging on our steaks gift page, but for now we’ll list the online merchants whose quality of steaks we trust:
Chicago Steak Company has the largest dry aging facility in the world, with master butchers who have generations of experience selecting and hand cutting beef. Their online selection is comprehensive. Choose your favorite cuts among the wet aged, dry aged, Wagyu and Angus selections.
Family-owned Snake River Farms, Idaho, 100% natural, no added hormones, wet-aged steaks, and the pricier 45+ days dry-aged steaks. The website often runs good promotions with discounts or free shipping

A Gift For Men Who Like All Things Spicy
A Gift for Men Who Are Always Prepared
Why are they so popular? Beyond the high quality construction, and food-safe interiors, we think it’s the modern, streamlined design, and the promise of super durability. The Yeti line includes hard coolers, soft coolers, and drinkware that will keep your drinks as cold (or hot) as science allows. With 18/8 stainless steel construction, double-wall vacuum insulation, No Sweat™ Design and dishwasher safe (which is really important). If you’re looking for a gift that will still be used and appreciated years from now, a Yeti product may be the way to go. The stainless steel vaccuum insulated Drinkware starts at $24. Hard and soft-sided coolers come in some really nice colors but are a bit of an investment.
Chocolate Gifts for Men with a Serious Sweet Tooth
Fran’s Chocolates, Seattle
Recchiuti Chocolates, San Francisco
Consider the Red Wine Pairing Collection, $26 or the Whiskey Pairing Collection, $26 as an ideal gift.
Red Truck Bakery, Virginia
We’re not even going to pretend to be objective here. We’ve enjoyed and sent nearly every one of Red Truck Bakery’s cakes: Alma Hackney’s Rum Cake, The Almond Cake with Amaretto (so moist, so good), the Triple Chocolate Cake (still getting compliments), The Shenandoah Apple Cake (deep sigh of joy), and every one was better than what we could ever hope to produce in our own kitchens (and we are accomplished bakers, FYI). Just order from Red Truck Bakery ($30 and up) and your gift-giving is expertly done!
Gifts for Men Who Love Coffee
Classic 1940’s Chemex Pour-Over Coffee Maker
But remember you need to use Chemex filters, either paper or you can buy a stainless steel reusable one, whereas in the French Press above, you don’t. However, have you every gotten the grounds out of a French Press without making a mess?

OXO Burr Coffee Grinder
The OXO Burr Grinder is beautifully and intuitively designed of course, and it creates uniform grounds for optimal flavor extraction. Choose from 15 settings (plus micro settings) which adjusts the grind to suit any taste. The hopper holds up to 0.75 lbs of coffee beans, enough for 12 cups of lovingly brewed coffee.
Death Wish Whole Bean Coffee Beans
The premium beans are expertly roasted to ensure a bold, smooth brew. Bonus: If your man isn’t completely satisfied they’ll refund your order. No questions asked.

Gifts For Men Who Hate Gadgets (Except for These!)
Apple Series 5 Watch
“I don’t need any gadgets!” my husband told our son as he was fishing around for gift-giving ideas. But when my obstinate “I-want-my-ham-sliced-tissue-thin” husband (see the deli-slicer gift idea above) was told by his doctor to watch his blood pressure, he realized our son was right. Maybe a watch that did practically everything he needed to stay connected with work, and served as a fitness tracker too could be a good idea. The Apple Series 5 watch is the ticket.
Gifts for Men Who Prefer the Quiet
Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones
You will be amazed what tension can be defused when you can retreat into a cocoon of quiet by clapping on a pair of these sleek, wireless, Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones. Of course you have the option to pipe in favorite tunes and shows and podcasts as well. When the house is crowded with family, or you are in a family known for blasting dueling television shows, this will help your favorite guy quietly rise above it all.
