Learn how to put together an amazing grilling gift basket with our tips below.

Are you an amazing gift giver? I have to admit that choosing gifts for friends and family is one of my VERY favorite things to do. I LOVE thinking about the person’s interests and passions, then searching for just the right gift or group of gifts that they will enjoy for the given occcasion. With Father’s Day just around the corner, the kids and I have been shopping for both daddy and their Papa (my dad). One of my dad’s favorite past times is grilling. In fact, he often slow cooks our proteins on his grill(s) for our family Sunday dinners, which our entire family enjoys. So, we went on the hunt for some unique, and needed, gift items at Target for him to up his grilling game just in time for summer. Keep scrolling for our Top 6 grilling finds for Father’s Day.

1. The BEST Father’s Day Card

My kids are OBSESSED with fun gift cards! In fact, it is often their favorite thing to open on their own birthdays, and it is definitely their favorite thing to pick out. When shopping for Papa’s Father’s Day gift, this giant card we spotted on an end cap was a must-have item. So, it went into the cart with the other fun grilling gift goodies. When we got back to the house, our 2 older kiddos neatly wrote their names inside of the card, which makes the gift that much more special for Papa to open on Father’s Day.

2. An Illustrated Grilling Cookbook

We added a wonderfully illustrated grilling cookbook to our Father’s Day gift basket for new recipes and inspiration ideas. Personally, I always find new recipes exciting, so I can’t wait to see what he cooks up on the grill for our next get together.

3. Grilling Tools

I am a firm believer that you can never have too many tools for your favorite pastime. For grilling lovers, their basic tools need to be replaced regularly. So, we included a set of brand-new stainless grilling tools, and a new grill grate cleaning brush. If your dad/papa already has some great basic grilling tools, look for some fun, unique items that he may not have used for a fun grilling challenge.

4. Personalized Grilling Spices

For a fun addition to any grilling gift basket, download our FREE spice wrappers below to personalize some of Papa’s favorite spices. These printable spice wrappers are ideal for the standard size spice containers you can find at your local retailer. We decided to include 2 great spice rubs to try, and a bottle of rock salt, which is one of Papa’s grilling staples.

5. Beef Jerky Snacks

When Papa grills ALL-DAY long, he will most certainly need some delicious snacks to power up. We added some Jack Links® Original Beef Jerky to his Father’s Day gift basket for just that reason. Jack Links beef jerky is made with 100% real beef, making it a great source of protein. For 10% off Jack Links of any size between 5/26-6/16, be sure to take advantage of this Cartwheel Coupon.

6. Grilling Accessories

In addition to some amazing basic grilling tools, add some fun accessories into your Father’s Day grilling gift basket. We included a package of bamboo skewers, corn on the cob holders, and new linen hand towels. I would encourage you to have fun with the accessories you choose to include in your Father’s Day basket!! There are SO many fun options to consider in both the summer grilling aisle and the cooking aisles at Target.

Once you have gathered all of your Father’s Day gift basket goodies, you need to find the perfect container to organize your items within. We fell in love with this wire basket, as it not only showcased all of our fun finds, but is a practical storage item for his tools outside. You could also use wood crates, woven baskets or woven baskets as your “container”. Package all of your grilling items into your chosen container, and you are gift-giving ready for Father’s Day!
