I love my dad. And I love Father’s Day, when I get to give him a gift to say so. Like me, my dad likes to cook, grill, and garden — so I will be getting him something within those veins. And, if your dad is the same, boy, do I have the gift guide for you. Here are 26 kitchen-related gifts your dad will love. You’ll probably love a few of these things for yourself, too. You know, because the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree!

Two award-winning Vermont producers, Runamok Maple and WhistlePig, have joined forces to launch a pair of handcrafted barrel-aged products this spring: WhistlePig Rye Whiskey Barrel-Aged Maple Syrup and WhistlePig Barrel-Aged Maple Bitters.

The WhistlePig Barrel-Aged Maple Bitters are made with a base of WhistlePig’s 15-year-aged Estate Oak Rye and Runamok Maple’s organic maple syrup. A unique blend of herbs and spices gets added to the base to create a beautiful version of bitters that will elevate a wide variety of cocktails with just a few drops.

Our resident glitter aficionado tells you everything you need to know about the new product—and how to get your hands on the second batch before it sells out!

When this iridescent syrup first launched on the first of September, it sold out within minutes. It’s no surprise, either – syrup is somewhat of a breakfast staple, and this particular one offers the vibe of an edible snow globe, air bubbles shooting up as you spin it around reminiscent of shooting stars. Pancakes aside I could turn the bottle back and forth all day – it's almost too pretty to want to eat. Almost.

Glitter makes everything better, especially when it’s edible. Now, you can add sparkle syrup to the list of shimmering food and drinks you can’t get enough of–you know, right next to glitter beer and glitter cranberry sauce.

2020 is looking ever so slightly better.

In June, Seven Days launched Bottom Line, a weekly account of how individual businesses are responding to the pandemic. Businesses are, in a sense, like people; each has its story, and some of those are happier than others.

How does one ignore a light Vermont maple syrup that is infused with a hint of strawberries and rose petals? You don’t. You give it a try, enjoying the light floral flavor on a freshly baked waffle. Then you explore its other uses.

Runamok Maple is an organic maple syrup company that aims to bring something new to the breakfast, lunch, and dinner table. Its delightfully rich and unique syrups are infused with all-natural flavors that can complement just about any sweet or savory dish. Its products can also serve as upscale mix-ins for a cocktail. Runamok Maple features dozens of syrup-inspired recipes on its website to help couples find new ways to tantalize their taste buds on a date night at home.

With the 4th and swimsuit weather upon us, these vegan, keto, low-fat, organic and/or just yummy snacks are worth a taste.

Strawberry Rose Infused Syrup brings a floral profile to summer dishes, and Chubby Organics develops a "no junk" (and no peanut) version of a children's lunchtime staple.

Thinking of giving a gift, but don’t know which flavor to choose?  Well, these gift sets are meant for you. Each set represents a sampling of some of our favorite smoked, barrel-aged, and infused maple syrups, packaged in an elegant gift box.  A great stocking stuffer or hostess gift, each is scrumptious and unique, bringing a new kind of maple syrup, not only to the breakfast table but also as a cocktail mixer and an ingredient in recipes both sweet and savory.

Oprah released her favorite products of the year and on this years “favorite things” list is the Runamok Maple Syrup Gift Box.

Crafted with just two organic ingredients – rose petals and strawberries – Runamok Maple says this smooth, silky syrup has a sweet and floral flavour profile that will pair well with summer cocktails, desserts, salads and breakfast dishes.

It's about time that Quaker and PepsiCo retired Aunt Jemima, not only for its obviously racist imagery of black servitude but also because the syrup is just plain bad. The first two ingredients are corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup, followed by water, cellulose gum and caramel color. These aren’t ingredients that anyone should be putting into their bodies at breakfast.

Sure, ties, golf lessons, cologne, and magazine subscriptions are all fine Father’s Day gifts, but those presents are pretty been-there-done-that, right? This year, give Dad the one thing he never can have enough of: time with the grill and you by his side.

Maple syrup isn’t just for pancakes—it can be a special touch to savory dishes and it’s a popular sweetener choice for vegan baking. With Runamok Maple’s custom gift box option, you can choose three different bottles from their infused, smoked, and barrel-aged maple syrup to gift in an elegant black box. Focused on sustainability and social responsibility, the company is certified organic by the Northeastern Organic Farmers Association and Bird-Friendly by the National Audubon Society.

For the best ever stack of pancakes, gift Dad a set of three different types of maple syrup: classic maple syrup, bourbon-barrel aged, and cinnamon-vanilla infused. He might just like using the syrups in his cocktail creations or swirling them over ice cream too.

Mother's Day might feel a bit lonelier this year since many of us won’t be celebrating with our moms in person. That doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t spoil mom with something a little different this year.

When they can manage to, anyway.

Food Network gives credit to Runamok for being a perfect gift for whiskey drinkers with the taste of syrup aged in empty bourbon barrels complementing all meals.
