Father’s Day Gifts: Original Ideas He’ll Actually Enjoy
Third Sunday of June
A Father’s Day gift that’s made to be shared
The trouble with Father’s Day gifts is that they often end up in a drawer. An aperitif box does not: it gets opened the same evening, and everyone tries it.
Four savoury spreads — artichoke, aubergine and rosemary, black olive and sun-dried tomato, green olive and almond.
Some toasted bread, and the evening is under way without anyone having to cook.
For the ones who cook outdoors
The BBQ box arrives at the right moment: Father’s Day falls in June, just as barbecue season starts.
Barbecue sauce, ketchup, confit and chutney made for grilled meat — a way out of mustard and industrial ketchup.
It is the box that gets used the following weekend, not in six months.
For the ones who finish with cheese
The condiments-for-cheese box is for those who always end a meal with a cheeseboard rather than a dessert.
Confits made to go with a hard cheese, a blue or a fresh goat’s cheese.
It is the gift that comes back out at every family meal.
Two single jars to slip in
Barbecue sauce with alder buckthorn honey — for a small gift that leaves with him for the first barbecue of the season.
Fig and peppers chutney — the pairing that transforms a cheeseboard or a plate of cold meat.
Both also slip into a build-your-own box if you would rather assemble the gift yourself.
Everything you need to find the perfect Father’s Day gift
Which gourmet gift should you give for Father’s Day? A savoury box rather than an object: it gets shared the same evening.
Which box suits his tastes? The aperitif one if he entertains, the BBQ one if he cooks outdoors, the cheese one if he finishes with a board.
When is Father’s Day? The third Sunday of June in France.
