2. Gourmet Food Gifts

Food gifts are always a hit, especially if your dad is a foodie. Consider a gourmet gift basket filled with his favorite snacks, a subscription to a gourmet coffee club, or a personalized BBQ grilling set. Also we have just went to our local grocery store and bought my Dad yummy cheeses or whatever we wanted to add for him. That was a favorite for him.
