2 - Personalised Grill Tools

Another idea we love?These sleek personalised BBQ tools by Pink Biscuits. They’re great because you can literally get anything you want written on the matching tongs, fork, and spatula. So it could be your dad’s name or it could be a cheeky message from you! (Something like “King of the Barbecue” or maybe “I know what I’m doing” would be more appropriate for your dad?) What better way to show you care? And that you respect his grill mastery, of course. For a slightly different look, we’d also like to havethis set by Twenty Seven that comes with a personalised apron for dad.

3 - Make-Your-Own-Chorizo Kit

Spend some time with your dad this Father’s Day! Gifts that double as an experience are twice as fun for both of you. ThisMake-Your-Own-Chorizo-Sausage Kit by Designa Sausage and Spicely Does It comes with everything you need to create your own chorizo (minus the meat), including casings, curing salt, spice blends, piping bags, and instructions.

4 - A Personalised Cutting Board or Cheese Board

Have a dad who doesn’t get tired of seeing his name all over the place? You can pretty much personalise anything these days. Get your dad a cutting board with his name, initials, or a special message written on it for all the barbecue prep he’ll be doing over Father’s Day weekend. We love thesehand-carved boards by Posh Totty Designs Creates. They’re made out of beech or oak wood and they have a sturdy and classic look.


Not in need of another cutting board? These naturalolive wood cheese boards by The Rustic Dish are not only beautiful - they have a carved speech bubble that you can fill with your own words. Original and perfect for serving even the fanciest of guests!
