The Spark Grill Essentials Package
The dad who loves to grill all summer long and beyond will surely appreciate this Essentials Package by Spark Grills ($899). The grill itself will look ultra-sleek in dad's backyard in black or navy blue. It's charcoal fueled, has wide cast iron grill grates, and features a temperature range of 250-900°F so dad has plenty of options whether he's making a grilled pizza or doing some searing on high heat. The coolest part is quite possibly the Bluetooth app that keeps track of the grill and cook temperatures.
What comes in the Essentials Package? Well, let's just say dad will be totally hooked up and in his glory when he opens up this gift. The package includes, of course, the Spark Grill, in addition to three compostable charcoal Briqs, a premium cutting board, two temperature probes, and a 15-foot power cord.
A Coffee Date At about t:me
This one's for the dad who can't live without his morning cup of joe, and it makes for the ultimate day date plan the both of you can savor together. If you live in or near the New York City area, about t:me is a brand new "tech-forward café concept" that lives by the motto, "Specialty coffee shouldn't slow you down." The brand is proud of the products they serve in their three Manhattan locations—and for good reason. The specialty espresso and coffee beans are sustainably sourced, and every single roast is perfected until the blend can be the absolute best it can be for customers.
Treat dad to a caffeinated beverage like the iced mocha, iced chai, or iced matcha latte in the brand's unique, 100% recyclable, picture-perfect bottle. Don't forget to peruse the bakery case for some pastries and danishes to enjoy with your sips. We chatted with the café concept's Coffee Master who tells us the flavor profiles in each snack specifically pair well with certain drinks on the menu. Needless to say, this is an experience that will totally perk up dad's day!
Runamok Honey
Upgrade dad's honey stash with Runamok. This Vermont-based company offers incredibly unique flavors of hot, raw, and infused honey. A sampling of the brand's most popular flavors includes their Florida Orange Blossom Honey ($13), Lemon Verbena Infused Honey ($13), and Chipotle Morita Infused Honey ($13) which is the ultimate addition and spicy kick to a fried chicken dinner. After all, honey is chock-full of nutrients and antioxidants, and it could enhance one's heart health, so this makes for a super healthy gift for dad!
Steeped Single-Serve Coffee Bags
Once dad tries Steeped craft coffee bags, we're willing to bet he'll never go back to drinking his cup of joe any other way again. With Steeped Coffee, dad can easily whip up his morning dose of caffeine at home, bring a bag to the office, or prepare a to-go tumbler for the ride. Each Steeped coffee bag contains 100% artisan roasted specialty coffee, with quality, sustainability, and ease of use in mind. The packaging is totally compostable, too!
The brand's roast lineup is pretty hard to beat. Depending on how dad likes to enjoy his coffee, Steeped offers a Sunrise Blend (light roast) with notes of lemon-lime and cocoa, a California Blend (medium roast) that's sweet with a chocolaty body, a full-body Odyssey Blend (dark roast) with notes of dark chocolate and s'mores, and more. If you're having a tough time deciding, you should opt for The Lineup: A Collection Of Each Blend ($18) so dad can have fun switching it up.
A Virtual Shopping Trip On Hive
Dad will surely enjoy picking out a selection of goodies on this cool online marketplace. Hive sells sustainable, "meticulously vetted" products (from groceries to household staples to wellness items) and is fueled by the mission to bring people together "who want to shop their values with brands who live those values."
The brand lives by its very own "High Five criteria," which include ingredient integrity, low carbon footprint, recyclable packaging, rave-worthy, and social good. One hundred percent of the company's shipments are carbon-neutral, and 769 of the products sold on Hive "are verified for fair or direct trade practices and sustainable agriculture."
If dad is unsure where to begin, Hive makes the process seamless for the consumer with their lists of new arrivals, best sellers, and Hive team picks. (We must say, if dad loves getting his peanut butter fix, both the Peanut Butter Filled Pretzel Nuggets by Quinn Foods, which also comes in a peanut butter-chocolate-filled version, and the Maple Cinnamon Peanut + Pecan Butter by Big Spoon Roasters are to die for!) Be sure to encourage dad to shop across brands in an effort to support various causes such as poverty and hunger, animal rights, and more.
In Good Taste Wines
In Good Taste's mini, picnic-ready wine bottles make for the coolest wine tasting experience dad can enjoy right in his backyard. If he loves wine, you can't go wrong choosing from the variety of Curated Tasting Flights, such as Uncommon Grapes ($65) and California Wine Mixer ($65). With brands like Wild Child (that pairs so well with pizza), La Pluma, Unprecedented, Passport, and more, your number one guy will have a blast discovering some new favorites.
In Good Taste even has blog posts on their website that dad can peruse while he's sipping, including the best ways to pair wine with food, the skinny on wine closures and toppers, and a wine pairing quiz.
