8 Gifts for the Foodie Dad

Haven't decided on a gift for Dad yet? Here are a few ideas for indulging your dad on his day.

Retro Juicer
Fresh-squeezed orange juice recalls the special touch of a homemade breakfast for a loved one. And while there are efficient electric juicers, the manual process of hand-cranking your oranges is part of the charm of this retro-designed juicer ($49 at Wrapables).

 

Scanpan
While nonstick pans are commonplace these days, a nonstick Scanpan skillet ($45 at Cooking.com) shows that you know quality. Count on this nonstick pan to last, and if you find some way to damage its surface, then return it for a replacement under Scanpan's lifetime warranty.  

 

Meat Slicer
Trust us -- a gift of a meat slicer is guaranteed to be the envy of all other dads who get the usual tie. Choose from a no-nonsense Waring ($99 at Cooking.com) or spend more bucks on the heavier duty Chef's Choice ($380).

 

Wine Enthusiast Silent 16 Wine Refrigerator
Dads will love the simple luxury of keeping a private wine stash in this 16-bottle wine refrigerator ($179 at The Wine Enthusiast) with an extra-quiet motor.

 

French Coffee Press
It seems cliché, but being left alone with the Sunday paper and a good cup of coffee is a luxury that busy dads treasure. Bodum helps your dad make the coffee with their Chambord French Press Coffee Maker ($89). It's been updated with a double wall to keep your coffee warm long enough to finish all the Sunday sections.

 

Wine Totes
Here are two wine totes for two different types of dads. Go camouflage ($22.99 by BuiltNY) for the park picnics and barbecues, and buffalo leather ($135 at Gumps) for the polo grounds.

 

Retro Toaster
Dualit Toasters are known for their distinctly unique retro styling and their hefty price tag.  Now, you can get the same Dualit design at a Target price ($79) to dress up Dad's kitchen. After all, for men, toasters are like underwear -- we'll keep the old one around until someone else buys us a new one.

    This things don't seem very manly to me. My father loves to cook and grill but he doest drink wine or make his own coffee and juice. The pan may be the only thing on here I would buy.
