Steak Gift Baskets & Meat Boxes for Dad | Father's Day Subscription
For the dad who grills every weekend. Pastured meat, no antibiotics, freezer-stocked for a month. Better than another tie.

The single dramatic steak. He'll cook it on the grill once, take a photo, and talk about it for a year.
Omaha Steak: Tomahawk Ribeyes

Yeti Tumbler - Insulated Mug
If he's in the 'I just like Folgers' phase, this is the gentle nudge. Single-origin tastings without the snobby pour-over commitment.
