15 Last-Minute Father’s Day 2017 Food Gifts
As Father’s Day approaches, it’s time we face the facts: Dads can be really hard to shop for — especially if you’ve already exhausted the “typical” Father’s Day gift categories like ties, grilling tools, and golf gear. But you know what gift category you can never really exhaust? Food. After all, we all have to eat — and it’s always fun to enjoy some sweet (or savory) treats as a departure from our usual meal routines. So, we’re willing to bet Dad will enjoy a fun Father’s Day gift he can nosh on (especially if he happens to consider himself a foodie) — and if you're lucky, he'll even share. Ahead, 15 tasty options.

Just think: Every morning, when dad is drinking coffee from his monthly delivery of carefully curated beans, he’ll think about what a wonderful child he has. It’s a win-win.

You could bake dad some chocolate chip cookies, or you could order him a selection of — let’s be honest — much more interesting options, like Chocolate Caramel Cookies and Dulce De Leche Alfajores.

Because how much more satisfying will that bacon taste when he knows he made it himself?

If he’s the kind of guy who’s always manning the grill, and can talk for hours about that unbelievable chop he ate at dinner last year, chances are he’s going to be pretty pumped about this one.

Then again, if he’s more of a seafood, reminisce-about-childhood-summers-at-the-shore kind of guy, Maine lobster rolls are likely to win him over.

This is a small gift with a big flavor impact. He can save it for special occasions or sprinkle this upscale salt on all sorts of dishes.

PSA: You can get dad deep dish from one of Chicago’s most renowned spots...in the mail. Who wouldn’t love that? (Aside from perhaps a New York style pizza die hard…)

We all know (or are) those people who can eat peanut butter by the spoonful out of the jar. If your dad is one of those people, he’ll likely appreciate this artisan selection.

Why gift simple milk or dark chocolate when you can gift a box of exotic flavors like Blood Orange Caramel Bar, Red Fire Bar, or Black Pearl Bar?

If pops isn’t one for coffee — or just likes to change it up every once in awhile — matcha (a green tea powder) could be a perfect gift. Even better, this set comes with the powder itself, as well as some sweet green treats.
