Wondering what to get the dad who has everything? If you’re thinking of buying him another tie this Father’s Day, let me just stop you right now — that’s not it sis.
The holiday, which is meant to shower dads with love and appreciation, is also an opportunity to help them discover (or re-discover) their passions and what they truly love. So if your dad has been throwing down in the kitchen (and on the grill) all these years, it’s safe to say that you can come through with kitchen upgrades that will make his day. Why? Because if dad loves to cook, these gifts are not only useful, but they’re functional, practical and also show dad you truly thought about his needs this Father’s Day.
Below, we’ve rounded up a few gift ideas that you can order online for every type of foodie dad — from the grill master, to the cocktail connoisseur.
01

Pampered Chef Cast Iron Skillet Set
Dad has been throwing down for years, so it’s only right that you upgrade his kitchen equipment this Father’s Day.
