As the daughter of a bona fide foodie father, I’ve always loved tracking down cool gourmet Father’s Day gift boxes for dads. And there are so many!
I mean, so many gifts, but also so many kinds of dads.
(Shockingly, not every dad likes grilling, golf, hogging the remote control, and not knowing how to do the dishes, as every card store rack would have you believe. Sigh.)
So check out our guide to fabulous gourmet gift boxes and subscriptions for dads, whether he’s got a sweet tooth, a hardcore snack thing, a thing for bourbon, or a thing for tea. Any of these gifts lets you make a big splash, even when the price tag is pretty small.
Here’s to all the awesome dads out there! May they eat well for all their days.

Vosges Dark Chocolate Truffle Collection

Sold!

What better way to celebrate an awesome dad, than a gift that helps other parents and kids? Cookies For Kids Cancer makes the most delicious treats (I’ve had MANY over the years!) and all profits go directly to support pediatric cancer research.
A Gourmet Gift Box for the Bourbon Connoisseur Dad
The Bourbon Planner Gift Box
$191.50, Mouth Foods
Is “bourbon-drinking dad” a Father’s Day gift cliché? Well, yes, and for good reason! If he’s a proud member of this group, check out this gift box filled with everything but the bourbon.
Oh, and if you want to include the bourbon? Hit your local liquor store or visit Drizly to find for EH Taylor Small-Batch Bourbon ($35.99+) from the distillery that makes Pappy Van Winkle. It’s a fabulous bargain that’s just as worth of savoring.

(And hey, they’re one of Oprah’s Favorite Things so can both Cool Mom Eats and Oprah be wrong? No.) They’ve got lots of of gourmet tea gift boxes starting at just $14.99, but I’m eyeing this affordable Private Reserve box featuring looseleaf Himalayan Gold Black Tea, plus an Earl Grey Chai Tea, all beautifully packaged, as you can see.
