Every Father’s Day, my family can count on two things: 1) us gathering around while I read the kids’ super cute “About My Dad” that Mrs. TGD makes them complete and 2) me trying out all my new, terrible Dad Jokes.

Lucky them - I’m trying the jokes out on you first!

But before I do, if you’re still looking for a Father’s Day gift idea, don’t worry. Follow that link or see some of my favorites below. I was on a “not another mug” mission this year.

Finally, if you have the chance, remember to thank your dad (and say “I’m sorry” first if need be). Sometimes the best gifts aren’t ‘gifts’ in the normal sense at all.

Gift Ideas

Below are some of my favorite ideas. If you’d like TGD’s full list of 18 items across all price ranges, check it out here!

Bristle-Free Grill Brush

Did you know that there is a risk of the metal bristles falling off and contaminating food? And that this leads to trips to the emergency room more often than I’d like to think? Yup. That’s why we recommend the Grill Rescue. It’s bristle-free and helps support first responders!

Drip EZ BBQ Prep Tub

The Drip EZ BBQ Prep Tub is a must for any father who likes to grill or smoke meat. We’ve been using these tubs for the last few months, and they are game-changers for prep and clean-up! It easily fits a pork shoulder or rack of ribs and keeps the messes contained.

The best part is collapsibility, so when the tub isn’t in use, it can be tucked away easily on a shelf or in a BBQ tool bin.

Grill Light

Grill lights are essential for grilling after dark, especially if your grill area doesn’t have installed lights. Some grill lights are even magnetic, meaning they can be moved as needed depending on the grilling session. TGD’s favorite? Cave Tools Grill Light.

Fireproof Gloves

Fireproof gloves are one of those things that most dads don’t want to spend money on, but they would secretly love a pair. The Grill Armor pair here is TGD’s favorite because they are comfy, machine washable, and flexible (not stiff). They’re also heat resistant up to 932 degrees, making them perfect for every type of grilling.

Pizza Stone

Grills are excellent for making pizzas, whether your grill is gas or pellet! That makes a pizza stone the perfect gift this Father’s Day. While you will need to make sure Dad’s grill is the right size to fit this stone (this one is 15″ x 18″), it works well with most grills, and your dad can use it to make pizza, cookies, and more!

Smash Burger Set

There is nothing like grilling the perfect burger on a Friday night, and we are sure your dad will agree, so grab him this smash burger gift set from Traeger. Complete with a spatula, steam dome, and press, your dad will love making the perfect burger every time he grills. 

I also loved when we made smash burger BREAKFAST tacos.

A Griddle

To make that delicious smash burger though, Dad’s going to need a griddle! A griddle (aka, flat-top grill) makes cooking for a crowd a breeze. Whether he’s making two dozen burgers, a whole side of bacon, or breakfast for the family all at once, a griddle should be an essential piece of Dad’s outdoor cooking toolkit.
