Father’s day is fast approaching and if your dad is one of the many gluten free father’s celebrating this weekend you may be at a loss of what to give him! Not to fear, we’ve done the research for you and have come up with a fun-filled list of ideas to suit any dad, even if he’s gluten free!

You can’t go wrong with a grill. Men, well, they love it! Grilling gives them a feeling of empowerment, strength and presence in the kitchen – why not surprise your dad with a shiny, clean new grill?!

Whether you tag-team this gift with your siblings and splurge on the ultimate outdoor patio grill or find the perfect compact solution for camping, the dad in your life will be thrilled! And of course, you’ll include a package of Rudi’s Gluten Free Hot Dog and Hamburger buns!

To go along with this do-it-yourself theme, visit SlantShack Jerky online and create the ultimate jerky (the gluten free option of course!) customized to the flavors your dad likes best. Snacking never tasted so good!

Looking to round out the day of festivities with a friendly meal? Treat your dad to a late lunch or dinner and take him to any of the restaurants listed on the Celiac Restaurant Guide. He’ll be ecstatic to have so many gluten free options at his finger tips and you’ll be pleased to know that he’ll leave the meal feeling great and without any unwanted side effects.

If none of these ideas strike your fancy, think about what your dad loves doing. Many of his favorite activities might not even require serious gluten-free thinking! Is he a golfer? Offer to pay for a round of golf or even better, take him to the driving range and hit a few balls! Is he an outdoor enthusiast? Pick a fun new hike, bike route or running trail and enjoy the fresh air together!

From my own experience, there is nothing a dad likes better than spending the day with his family and enjoying all that life has to offer. Have a fabulous weekend and remember, gluten free doesn’t mean fun free… so whatever your holiday holds be sure to enjoy it to the fullest!
