Posted on : June 12th, 2017

Father’s Day is almost here, but there’s still plenty of time to order a great Father’s Day gift. This year try something different for Father’s Day. Leave those traditional and expected presents like beer mugs, shaving kits, or bathroom joke books in the past. Maisie Jane’s has a big selection of Father’s Day gifts to choose from that are unique and fun! Look for our RECIPE ALERT in this article and don’t forget to include it with your gift!

A Gift for Every Dad

What type of dad is yours? Some dads enjoy standing over a grill and creating the perfect smoked brisket, some love hiking with the family, while others enjoy snacks and soda during the game.

But what dad doesn’t like organic, non-GMO, 100% dry-roasted nuts to snack on or add to a favorite recipe? Paired with items like seasonings, sauces, and chocolates, Maisie Jane’s California Sunshine has a Father’s Day Basket for every dad type.

For the Spice It Up & Eat-A Fajita Dad

With Maisie Jane’s Fajita basket, your dad or husband can whip up an amazing fajita dinner. Whether he likes to grill beef or sauté chicken before layering his fajita, this basket has everything he needs plus a little dessert just for him! Just like those mostly authentic (wink) Mexican restaurants, dad can serve his fajitas in style with the cast iron skillet and wood trivet. This gift also includes an over mitt, Chico Spice Co. Meat flavored seasoning, Cowboy BBQ Corn Salsa, and Better than Brittle soft peanut brittle for dessert.

RECIPE ALERT: Spicy Almond Steak Fajitas serves 12

Grab additional almonds to go with his gift so dad can even make his own almond tortillas.
