Looking for stocking stuffers? Everyone appreciates a novelty phone case! Give the guys in your life a chuckle with one of these bright and bold phone cases that proclaim a deep love for food—burgers, pizza, sushi and more. Not only can you select a design, but it's available for several phone models, including iPhones and Samsungs.
You can never, ever go wrong with a nice set of wine glasses. In the haste to buy things for the kitchen, people buy cookware and dish sets and all the cool tools that a home cook needs to be really elevate their game to kitchen pro. But something simple and classic like nice wine glasses get oftentimes is overlooked. Whether the man you’re shopping for is single or happily spoken for, this gift will definitely help him class up his act in the kitchen and impress whoever he’s trying to impress. These are the set of red wine glasses (you might have to tell him—yes, there are different glasses for different types of wine!) but check out the white wine glasses, too.
Listen, everyone loves to grill! But sometimes it’s just too cold to stand outside, even if you are standing over a fire! Don’t make the dudes in your life sacrifice comfort for grilled food—get this indoor grill from Ninja. Don’t worry—it has a smoke control system to make it safe for the great indoors.
Better yet, it even makes grilling a little easier. The smart thermometer will monitor the internal temperatures so they don’t have to. It can grill, air crisp, bake, broil, roast, and dehydrate. And it’s definitely family-sized: It can fit up to 6 steaks or 24 hot dogs at once!
What’s more fun that taste-testing hot sauces to see who can handle the heat? Making your own hot sauce, and then making your friends taste it! Gift your adventurous eater this hot sauce kit and help them reach for the peak of peppery heights with their very own hot sauces. The kit comes with ancho, cayenne, curry and chili spice packs, as well as all the peppers and distilled vinegar you need. Use the six bottles and labels to create gifts for friends out of your concoctions, or make six different things to try. Turn up the heat on great gift giving with this fun and delicious kit.
Know a guy in college or someone going soon? Help him make his dorm the cool place to hang out with this hilarious and comfy pizza-shaped bean bag chair. We all know he’s already only eating pizza while he’s there, so something in his dorm might as well match, right? This bean bag chair has to be spot-cleaned, so maybe spray it with some Scotchgard to help him out before wrapping it up, but this one’s sure to be a hit.
If pepperoni pizza isn’t really up his alley, check out Urban Outfitters’ other food-shaped furniture. Because yes, apparently this is a thing for college kids.
It’s always fun to go all out on a picnic. But sometimes, a dude doesn’t want to make a big fuss while enjoying a beer outside with a buddy. Help them out with small but hugely functional outdoor collapsible beer table. With a bottle opener build in on the side, this table holds two bottles and a small dish for snacks, which is really all anyone needs.
Drive the stake into the ground and enjoy an impromptu happy hour on the beach or while camping. Or, take the stake off and use just the top as a table on any unstable outdoor surface. It’s simple and perfect.
Not going to lie… we love this marinade pack because it helps a home cook and grill master prep meat, marinate it and baste it both safely and easily. The base is for marinating and holding the raw meat while the lid will transport and serve the cooked food. (Hi! Isn’t the pattern lovely?) It comes with a brush, too, so your grilling bestie can baste meat and veggies while they’re on the grill! These trays are durable and dishwasher-safe, so they clean up like a dream.
Make your baseball fan very happy with these pint glasses featuring their team’s home stadium. After all, each home stadium is practically hallowed ground to sports fans, so these glasses are sure to be a homerun with any big fan. The maps are aerial views, and every MLB stadium is represented. The glasses come in sets of two, featuring the team’s two colors. At the bottom of every glass is the team’s logo, celebrating a perfectly finished beer. They’re also dishwasher safe, which is a nice bonus. Check out the matching whiskey glasses, too.
9. From Crook to Cook: Platinum Recipes from The Boss Dogg’s Kitchen
It’s true that we created an entire list of cookbooks to choose from. But many have a lot of love or respect for Snoop Dogg, so it only makes sense to specifically include his delightful cookbook here.
Whether they’re just fascinated by his surprising friendship with Martha Stewart or they genuinely want to know what the Boss Dog cooks, they’ll love this book. It’s full of Snoop Dogg’s 50 top recipes, including Baked Mac and Cheese, Fried Bologna Sandwiches, Bow Wow Brownies and so much more. It ranges from the high life—Lobster Thermidor—to the munchies—Starburst—and finishes off with the classic gin and juice.
If you’ve got a friend who loves homemade pizza, but you’re not quite sure if they’d be into a pizza oven, a quality pizza stone, peel and wheel set makes for a fantastic gift! The Pizza Stone is a quality ceramic piece that works on top of the grill or in the oven for any friend who enjoys making their kitchen into pizzeria every once in a while! Personally, I love that this pizza stone has handles, so it can easily be moved. The pizza wheel makes it easy to move around in the oven and the wheel makes cutting slices a breeze!
Grill master in your life? If he doesn’t already have one, he needs an instant read meat thermometer! We have this meat thermometer and LOVE it because it has Bluetooth connectivity, so it links up to an app that will alert you when your meat is nearing the perfect temperature. The device itself is color-coded, as well, to alert you to the temperature, and it’s a really helpful product to have .
Does the guy you’re shopping for love trying new recipes and exploring new flavors? Help him explore making dumplings—a notoriously intimidating food!–with this soup dumpling kit.
In China, these dumplings are called Xiaolongbao, and they are filled with deliciously rich vegetable or pork broth. Real talk: They are the perfect meal when there’s a little nip in the air. Or, any time really. But they need a very specific basket in order to be made from hand, and this kit gives your loved one everything they need to try it for the first time.
If your loved one enjoys making pizza at home, a pizza oven is the way to go! This outdoor pizza oven features temperature control (with a mounted digital thermometer), excellent insulation and a fabulous hinged glass door to where you can watch your pizza cook. It reaches 950°F and cooks a pizza in a minute! This pizza oven, a little larger than the previous versions, fits a 16” pie. Also, you can fuel it with wood, charcoal or propane, depending on your set up and needs. This is truly a special present that will bring your loved one a lot of joy (and delicious pizzas!) for years to come.
