Seventy years. That’s 25,550 days of experience, wisdom, dad jokes, and backyard grill fires. When your old man hits the big 7-0, it deserves more than a cake and some lukewarm coffee.
Whether he’s the king of chill or the backyard hero, here are 70th birthday celebration ideas for dad that deliver big flavor and even bigger memories.
1. Kick Off With a Backyard BBQ Bash
Let the man do what he does best: hold court with a pair of tongs in one hand and a cold one in the other. Fire up the grill, invite his closest crew, and serve up slabs of sizzling meat. Want to elevate the day? Gift him the Grand Carnivore Gift Set — a meat lover’s dream featuring an assortment of jerky and meat sticks that will make his carnivorous heart sing.
2. Host a Man Cave Movie Marathon
Transform the living room into his personal cinema with his favorite classics and enough snacks to survive the apocalypse. Think "Dirty Harry," "Die Hard," and maybe a western or two. Pair the night with TheMeats + Sweets Gift Set for a mix of handcrafted jerky and decadent treats.
3. Gift Him a Bouquet... of Bacon
Flowers are for Grandma. For Dad? Give him a gift that makes a statement and a snack. TheBacon Bouquet is equal parts hilarious and delicious, crafted from gourmet bacon strips and wrapped in a bouquet.
4. Sip and Savor With a Whiskey Tasting
Line up a tasting of his favorite spirits—complete with his go-to glass, good company, and zero interruptions. Complement the occasion with the Whiskey Caramel Decanter—caramels infused with whiskey and presented in a glass decanter.
5. Hit the Road: Dad-Style Day Trip
Plan a short road trip to a spot he’s always wanted to visit. Whether it’s a nearby fishing lake or a historic battlefield, turn it into a guys-only adventure. Stock the glove box with fuel from The Best Jerky Gift Box — a man-sized variety pack of savory jerky to keep spirits (and protein levels) high.
6. Surprise Him With the MOTHERLOAD
Sometimes, more is more. Blow his mind with the MOTHERLOAD (15 Bags of Jerky) — an all-out meat explosion guaranteed to earn a bear hug and a "now that's what I'm talking about!"
7. Toast to 70 With a DIY Pub Night
Can’t go out? Bring the pub home. Set up his favorite beers, old records, and maybe even a bar sign with his name on it. Serve some elevated bar snacks like the Master Brewer Snack Box, designed to pair perfectly with brewskis.
Here’s to 70 Years of Dad Being Dad
No matter how you celebrate—whether it’s with bacon bouquets, backyard laughs, or a gift that makes him shake his head and smile—you’re not just marking off a birthday.
You’re celebrating everything he’s been for the past seven decades: steady, hilarious, loving, and always just a little impossible to shop for.
So plan something unforgettable with Manly Man Co. Give him a gift worth bragging about. And remind him that no one else could’ve pulled off “Dad” quite like he has.
