The Most Thoughtful Gifts For Dad

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, roughly 6 out of every 10 men are fathers. They estimate that there are around 75 million fathers in the country. This Father's Day, those looking to dazzle dad will want to skip the tie and lawn equipment and select something he really wants.

We love thoughtful gifts that enhance dad’s wellbeing and cater to his lifestyle. Even better, our gift guide proudly supports small and mid-sized businesses, not gigantic corporations.

Big Shake’s Hot Chicken

Treat dad to delicious restaurant quality meals in the comfort of his home. As seen on “Shark Tank” Chef Shawn Davis otherwise known as Chef Big Shake is serving up some authentic Nashville hot chicken.

Big Shake’s Seasonings

Give dad the tools to grill some great meals this summer by opting for seasoning salt, hot seasoning, ghost pepper powder, or fried chicken flour. There's even a Big Shake's Ultimate Gift Box, which will give dad everything he needs to create fantastic backyard chicken and fish this summer. The gift box features fish fry, fried chicken flour, cornbread mix, Nashville hot seasoning, various hot sauces, and cooking instructions. The fried chicken flour is delicious. Your chicken tenders or wings will be perfectly crispy and crunchy. Deserving of a shoutout is also Big Shake’s hot seasoning. They are versatile and can amp up any fried treats.

Trademarked as the World’s Most Hygienic Cutting Boards, they have been extensively tested by a NATA approved laboratory for the four most common food viruses E coli, Salmonella, Staph and Listeria. Tests conducted showed that bacteria were unable to survive after a short time on the board. Further tests on Fab Slabs boards used domestically and commercially for the past 7 to 10 years showed zero bacteria growth.

Additionally, Fab Slabs’ beautiful wooden boards make great decor pieces that will suit a modern or country kitchen. The gorgeous wood grains and functionality make them the perfect gift for dads who like to whip up impressive meals daily or occasionally.

Herbalife Hemp

Enhance dad’s comfort and skin with Herbalife Hemp Relief Balm and Facial Serum. Aging can bring on aches and pains in the joints and muscles as one loses muscle mass and bone density.

Take care of him with Herbalife Hemp Relief Balm. It soothes aches and pains with 1,000 mg of broad-spectrum hemp cannabinoids per jar. The Hemp Relief Balm instantly smooths and moisturizes while giving off a spa-like aroma.
