What do you think of this b-day gift for my new DH?

Sunday is DH's birthday, and I like to be creative with gifts and DIY, but I'm wondering if this idea is kind of dumb and DH will be disappointed. He loves to grill, so I was thinking of putting a basket together for him with:

  • Grill rubs and spices
  • Sauces
  • New set of tongs
  • Grilling mit
  • Meat thermometer
  • BBQ cookbook
  • His favorite snacks (beef jerkey, nuts, etc.)

He's always checking out the spice section in the store and trying new recipes, but I don't know. Should I think of something else?

P.S. This is my first post as a Nestie!

I think that's a great idea. It's way more personal and meaningful that getting a generic gift, especially if he didn't specifically ask for something. I think he'll like it. And welcome to being a nestie. :)

I love your idea! Men always love anything associated with grilling! I think your gift is sufficient and great, and you don't have to do anything else. If you decide to add anything else, I suggest the  BBQ Grill Tool Set from Williams-Sonoma. It comes in a beautiful grill tool box, and the grill tools are solid. I bought it one year for my dad, and he loved it, and I suggested it to my friend this year for her husband for Father's Day, and her husband  loved it. I am not sure if they still do it, but you when I bought it for my dad, you could have it personalized with a name or initials.

 

p.s. Welcome! I am new here too!
