About GourmetGiftBaskets.com:

With organized tabs on the home page, GourmetGiftBaskets.com gives consumers options to shop by categories such as most popular, occasions and sentiments, holidays, price, and gourmet food.
Orders can be completed in as few as five steps. Even better is that customers have more options to select third-party carriers and delivery dates.

My Experience:
I was sent the The Barbecue Boss™ gift basket for review purposes. This basket is valued at $59.99 and includes the following:
· Western Red Cedar Grilling Papers by Fire & Flavor – 8 sheets – Take your favorite meats, seafood or vegetables, wrap them in this cedar grilling paper and watch it steam to perfection while it is infused with a smoky flavor.
· Grilling Skewers with Asian Rub by Fire & Flavor – 8 skewers – It’s simple to get that great Asian flavor with these grilling skewers. Just season with the included spices, thread the skewer and enjoy!
· Maple Chipotle Grille Sauce by Stonewall Kitchen – 11 oz. – A must have in our gourmet grilling gifts and baskets, this Maple Chipotle Grille Sauce is sweet and spicy with a touch of smoked flavor.
· New Mexico Red Pepper Sesame Grill Sauce by Frontera Foods – 12 oz. – New Mexico red chiles infused with nutty sesame, sweet garlic and spices. Simply delectable.
· Beef & Burger Rub by Urban Accents – 1.5 oz. – It’s specially designed to bring out the flavors in your favorite grilling recipes, this hearty rub is best on steaks, roasts, meatloaf and of course burgers!
· Limon Pepper Rub by Robert Rothschild Farms – 5 oz. – This limon pepper rub is the perfect compliment to your meats, poultry or seafood just like it’s the perfect compliment to the other great items in this grilling & BBQ gift basket.
This basket is a perfect addition to the Omaha Steaks meat that you can buy for the grilling dad in your life! With the included sauces, grilling cedar planks and seasoned skewers- any piece of meat that is put on the grill will be automatically enhanced!
My basket had a few different items from the one featured on the Gourmet Gift Baskets website, though. I am not sure if they are changing what this specific basket contains or if certain items were not available and so I received something different as a substitute.
- Instead of the Beef & Burger Rub by Urban Accents, I received the Everyday Rub All Purpose Seasoning by Fire & Flavor. It can be seen here in their Pit Master™ gift basket.
- Instead of the Western Red Cedar Grilling Papers by Fire & Flavor, I received Ginger Mango Seasoned Grilling Planks.
- I did not receive the Limon Pepper Rub by Robert Rothschild Farms and there was no substitute for it.
Our favorite item in the basket so far hands down is the Fire & Flavor everyday rub. We used it on our Omaha Steaks burgers and MMmmm mmm. It gave then an extra kick when we bit into them. We love it.
There are a wide range of gift baskets especially dedicated to grilling at Gourmet Gift Baskets depending on what you are looking for.
There are also 70 gift basket ideas for Father’s Day. Click here to see them. My favorites include the:
- Father’s Day Car Wash Bucket Deluxe, An $89.99 Value
and - Light Beer Bucket Gift Basket™, A $69.99 Value
My husband would appreciate either of those two baskets as well! (Though the light beer bucket we could both enjoy! 
)
