Ditch the Tie. Make a Memory.
You’ve gifted him mugs, socks, and “#1 Dad” gear. This year, give him something that lasts longer than a necktie and tastes better too—time. Whether it’s his first Father’s Day or he’s a seasoned pro, these things to do with your dad are all about bonding, banter, and bacon.
1. Start the Day with a Spicy Brunch
Some dads want a quiet breakfast. Others want a Bloody Mary with a kick and a side of storytelling. This kit brings everything you need to mix the perfect DIY brunch cocktail—just add Dad, some snacks, and a dash of sarcasm. Pair it with bacon, steak, eggs, or whatever makes brunch his version of perfect.
Whether you're swapping embarrassing family stories or debating the perfect spice level, this is a Father’s Day activity that’s bold, flavorful, and full of fun.
Because the best way to say “Happy Father’s Day” is with a glass in hand and a little heat.
2. Create a Backyard Jerky Tasting
If your dad’s the type who has strong opinions, this gift is the ultimate way to turn them into a full-on event. The Best Jerky Gift Box is handpicked by our staff and comes packed with a variety of beef jerky—from boozy to spicy to sweet—and sets the stage for your very own backyard jerky tasting.
Add cold drinks, scorecards, and some friendly family banter to create a Father’s Day moment he’ll actually remember. It’s a low-effort, high-impact way to bond over bold bites and backyard laughs. Just be warned—he might try to rank everything out loud.
Because hanging with Dad tastes better when jerky’s involved.
3. Cheers with Style
Personalized Black Steel Pint Glass
Whether he’s sipping a cold brew, an old favorite, or his signature backyard lemonade, this personalized steel pint glass gives every toast a little extra meaning. Engrave it with his name, initials, or a nickname that still makes him smile, and it instantly becomes more than just a drinking glass. It’s sleek, sturdy, and cool to the touch—just like him on a good day.
Bring it out during a Father’s Day hangout or barbecue and watch him show it off like a new gadget. It’s the kind of gift that feels relaxed, personal, and genuinely useful.
4. Beef Up Game Night
Game night with Dad just got an upgrade—because nothing pairs with cards, dice, or dominoes like heart-shaped beef jerky. These Meathearts are stamped with cheeky, dad-worthy phrases like “MY HERO” and “#1 DAD” making them perfect snacks. Use them to add some flavor to the competition, or just munch your way through a board game while pretending not to let him win. It’s the kind of snack that keeps things fun, lighthearted, and delicious from start to finish.
Because win or lose, meat makes it better.
5. Give a Gift, Then Make It a Moment
Why just hand Dad a gift when you can kick off a whole celebration? The Grand Carnivore Gift Set might be exactly what you’re looking for. It comes with a jerky bouquet (yes, really), a Meat Card you can personalize with your message, a Man Card (credit card–sized bottle opener), and a pack of Meathearts in the flavor of your choice. It’s fun, a little unexpected, and definitely way cooler than another pair of socks. Present it at the start of your Father’s Day hangout and let it spark the conversation, the snacks, and the smiles. This isn't just a gift—it’s the opening act to an unforgettable day together.
Because the best gifts come with time, flavor, and a whole lot of bragging rights.
Make This Father’s Day Unforgettable
From backyard brunch to bacon-wrapped gift wrap, these Father’s Day activities aren’t about buying more—they’re about doing more. So plan a day out with Dad, crank up the grill, crack open a cold one, and snack your way into legendary memory-making mode.
