Father's Day Gifts

By
Carla Snuggs

Many people procrastinate when it comes to shopping for Father's Day, after all, Dads can be challenging to shop for. They aren't always vocal about what they want and it’s hard to meet the challenge of providing Dad with a token of your affection and appreciation. Forget gifting the uninteresting tie this Father's Day and instead give your Dad the best launch monitor for golf simulator so he can continue playing his golf game indoor wherever he is without being concerned about the weather conditions.

HappyLuxe Paris Travel Set

Break free from the basics and give dad something he really wants – a brilliantly delicious bottle of Prosecco from Mionetto luxury line. The sleek black bottle will most certainly stand out. Mionetto Luxury Prosecco Superiore DOCG  will catch your dad’s attention and make you the favorite once and for all. The aroma of exotic fruits, apple, and pear will fill the air once you pop the cork, but the real treat is the creamy palate of white fruit that leaves you refreshed and ready for a second glass.

Herzog Special Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Lake County 2014 

 If the man or dad in your life likes to imbibe on some of the most sought-after wines available, here’s a pick from The Royal Company that will let him know how much you care! Herzog Special Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Lake County 2014 – A complex, full-bodied and cellar-worthy wine featuring notes of ripe blackberries, smoke and leather as well a long and plush finish from one of Northern California’s most sought-after appellations. Showing its true colors after 1-2 hours in the decanter, this is a wine that requires full-flavored dishes such as slow-smoked brisket or a juicy cowboy steak. Founded in 1848, Royal Wine Corp. has been owned and operated in the United States by the Herzog family, whose winemaking roots date back eight generations to 19th century Czechoslovakia.  Learn more: Kedem.com.

Brillo 

Sometimes simpler is better, especially when it comes to cleaning things like the grill. So when you’re making your dad’s bbq gift basket, consider adding Brillo Steel Wool Soap Pads instead of a grill brush. What’s wrong with a regular grill brush?  Grill brushes are dangerous because bristles can fall off and be left behind on the grate. The bristles have the potential to get caught in the food and are consumed by some people ending up in numerous hospitalizations per year [see the CDC announcement]. Using a Brillo pad and a little water, people can scrub their grill grate clean and wash it off completely before grilling. This prevents the hazard of potentially swallowing grill bristles and keeps your family and friends safe. 

Brillo Steel Wool Soap Pads

  • Use steel wool soap pads to easily scrub outdoor garbage cans

  • Grill brushes are dangerous (see above)

  • Using a Brillo pad and a little water, people can scrub their grill grate or stove top clean and wash it off completely before grilling or cooking 

Brillo Estracell No Scratch Scrub Sponge with Wedge Edge

  • The Wedge Edge has a unique angled shape and multi-surface, no scratch scrub sponge that is perfect for cleaning lawn furniture

  • Use to remove mildew and grime from outdoor children’s toys or lawn furniture after being exposed to the elements

Brillo Estracell Sponge Cloth

  • Instead of using flimsy paper towel that will rip or bunch up, use the Estracell Sponge Cloth to wipe down patio tables and chairs

Gobble

Give Dad the night off from grilling and give him Gobble which delivers great tasting, healthy meals that are easy and quick to prepare and provides busy families with more time to spend outside the kitchen. Gobble is the only service to offer one-pan, ready-to-cook meals, with fresh ingredients prepped and portioned, so dinner can be on the table in less than 15 minutes. You can view weekly menus and place your Gobble order at Gobble.com. Gobble meals start at $13.95 per meal for 4 meals and $11.95 per meal for 6 or more meals – tax and shipping included.

Camerons Stovetop Smoker and Good Cooking Grilling Planks

If your Dad is all about anything barbecue the Camerons Stovetop Smoker should be on top of his wish list for Father’s Day! Smoke-cooking is a healthy way to infuse flavor without the use of fats, salts, oils, or added calories. Camerons Stovetop Smoker allows you to hot-smoke food, a process that retains moisture and natural cooking flavors so foods don't dry out or get tough. Stovetop smokers are perfect for smoking small pieces of food that might get lost in a large outdoor smoker. Another advantage of stovetop smokers is that they run at a higher temperature than most outdoor smokers, cutting your cooking time in half. 

Camerons Stovetop Smoker can smoke large and small items on any heat surface, transforming ordinary vegetables into delicious main courses. This stainless-steel smoker also doubles as a steamer, giving you two great cookers in one product! This must-have item is dishwasher safe and induction capable, and it even includes wood chips and over 250 recipes. It’s available in original and mini sizes.

Don’t forget the grilling planks! These all natural wood planks allow seafood, meat, chicken and vegetables to roast slowly, basting in their own juices and create a subtle, smokey flavor. No fat or oil needs to be added as the moisture from the plank keeps your food juicy & flavorful with no nutrient loss! Comes in cedar and alder flavors, with instructions and tasty recipes inside the sleeve. Can be used two to three times before discarding. Shop: Cameronsproducts.com
