Whiskey Peaks Rocks Glasses ($59.98, Huckberry)
To celebrate the 2016 centennial of America’s National Park Service, Huckberry produced these clever handblown whiskey glasses featuring a raised topographic impression of America’s greatest mountain peaks: Denali, Half Dome, Mt. Rainier, and Mt. Whitney. Perfect for the outdoorsman — who also loves a good cocktail.
Surf & Turf in a Bag ($131.50, Mouth.com)
We love the entire Father’s Day gift collection at Mouth.com. There is something for every dad, from the cocktail lover to the guy with a sweet tooth. But this gift pack, which comes with two NY Strip Steaks, two lobster tails, fancy salt, smoked black pepper, and more is our top pick this year. Plus, give it to the right guy and you get a killer meal too.
uKeg Growler ($149-278, Growler Wekrs)
This handsome pressurized growler is vacuum insulated to keep beer cold all day and has a pressurization cap that keeps it well carbonated too. Whether it sits on the kitchen counter (it’s pretty enough to leave it there) or he takes it on the go (it’s travel ready!), this will keep your beer lover’s libation exactly as it’s meant to be all day.

Bad Seed Chili Granola ($12.99, Farm to People)
Meet granola’s evil twin! This sweet, savory, garlicky, spicy flavor-bomb is totally addictive, so it’s a good thing you can serve it so many different ways: On top of grilled meat, sprinkled on avocado toast, over eggs, or folded into tacos. You might want to buy two bottles since this is sure to become his new favorite condiment.
IRONATE Stove Top Pizza Cooker ($144.98, Huckberry)
A backyard brick oven would be nice, but crispy pizza made on the stove top is a pretty damn good option B. He can make delicious pizza in just three minutes using this, no oven required. And, yes, it works on frozen pizza too. Ha! For what it’s worth, you can also use this to sear steaks and it works on an open flame for all those campers.
Blazetower (complete kit $1,225.00 or buy pieces separately for less)
The complete kit for this blazing backyard beauty comes with everything you need to set up a fire tower, grill, and smoker that can be used to hang cure meats, smoke foods, and cook anything you’d like on an open flame, including pizzas. When it isn’t being used for cooking, you can treat the Blazetower like a fire pit — the smart design funnels smoke away from guests!
