Best gift ideas for bbq lovers

Is well known that everyone loves the excitement of outdoor grilling and one of the pleasures of summer is dinning outdoors with family and friends. Planning a great BBQ not only depends on the food we are cooking but also on the tools and the quality of products we are using. Of course there is always one person in the family that loves and enjoys putting everything together in order to have an amazing BBQ dinner. In my case that person is my husband, during the year he is willing for summer to come soon in order to organize BBQ dinners for me and the kids. Actually he does not enjoy the summer itself because of the heat (we live in Southern Spain where summers are really hot!!!) but he enjoys it just because he is able to have his BBQ anytime of the day and any day of the week.

My best memories in my country (Peru) bring to me the delicious smell of suculent anticuchos (marinated skewered beef´s heart pieces) and pancitas (beef tripe) grilled to perfection. While living in the US I enjoyed the taste of juicy burgers and steaks, glazed chicken and the world wide known BBQ ribs. Now living in Southern Spain i have the chance to try lots of different grilled products, specially seafood products.

Thinking of this I made a review of some really nice gifts for that BBQ lover in your family. This products could be given not just for Father´s Day or Christmas, but also for Birthdays or any other special occasion just to show your BBQ lover how much you enjoy his/her grilling!!!

• BBQ Grill: Why not surprise your BBQ lover with a brand new grill? In the market, we have different options depending of how your BBQ lover likes to grill. You can choose among a variety of charcoal grills, gas grills and both charcoal and gas grills. You can find them in different sizes, colors and prices.
• BBQ tools: having the right tools for the grill also makes the difference, at least that is what my BBQ lover says!!!. Choosing the right tools will make the grilling easy and faster. Forks, Knifes, Skewers, Brush, Thermometers and many other grilling tools must be all on hand!!!
• BBQ Cookbooks: trying new recipes, preparing new marinades and sauces, preparing your own seasoning, learning the right cooking times for your meat and vegetables, getting more grilling tips and hints... this could all be included in a good cookbook. No matter what a good cook your BBQ lover is, he/she will really appreciate a gift like this.
• BBQ covers: This are really useful and not expensive gifts that will help protect the grill from the rain, sun or even the cold weathers. While searching in the web, I was surprised to find that there are so many funny designs for the grill covers like the one on your right (shown in amazon.com). For a sports fun this could also be a really great gift.
• BBQ Aprons and Shirts: For a BBQ lover it would always be fun to wear a nice apron or shirt with a BBq design. This way he/she will show everyone his passion for grilling. There are so many designs, colors, prints. Your BBQ lover will enjoy this gift.
• BBQ sauces, seasonings and rubs: These are actually very easy and affordable present to give almost any occasion. You can find a huge variety of sauces, seasonings and rubs in almost any presentation just like sticky, light versions, powders, jam, ready to use and ready to heat. You may find them also in bottles, jars, bags and much more. You can play with the different flavors each brand offers.
• Gift baskets: This is actually my favorite gift because you can find lost of products, all in the same basket: from seasoning powders to delicious sauces, from a fine jar of hot sauce to a bottle of good wine to enjoy with your BBQ dinner. Gift baskets are available in different presentation and prices to satisfied all budgets, this way you do not have to spend hundreds of dollars buying a nice and useful gift. By the way, gift baskets are not only useful but also a very beautiful present because of the way it has been wrapped and decorated.

I hope you like this few ideas and that your BBQ lover too!!!
