BBQ & Grilling Spice Gift Sets for Dad
For the dad who takes his seasoning seriously, any of our curated gift sets are the move. These collections are built around specific grilling styles and flavor profiles, so instead of gifting a single jar, you’re giving him a full flavor toolkit and another reason to fire up the grill.
The Essential BBQ & Grilling Collection — Starting at $40. The go-to gift for any grilling dad. This set brings together Savory Spice’s most-loved BBQ and grilling blends in one package, covering everything from burgers and chicken to ribs and steak. If you’re not sure where to start, start here.
The Ultimate BBQ & Smoking Collection — Starting at $80. For the dad who smokes. This collection goes deep into the smokehouse with a lineup of rubs built for low-and-slow cooking: brisket, ribs, pork shoulder, and more. If his idea of a great Sunday involves an early start and a long cook, this is the gift.
The Ultimate Grilling Collection — Starting at $80. For the dad who grills everything. A comprehensive collection of grilling blends covering the full spread—beef, chicken, pork, seafood, and vegetables. A strong choice if he’s as comfortable making cedar plank salmon as he is flipping steaks.
The Gourmet Burger Collection — Starting at $40. For the dad whose burgers are legendary. If the backyard burger is his signature move, this set is built for him—with blends designed specifically for seasoning the grill, not just the patty.
The Essential Sugar-Free BBQ Collection — Starting at $38. For the dad who watches his sugar intake without giving up great BBQ flavor. All the smokehouse depth, none of the added sugar.
The Taste of Colorado Collection — Starting at $80. For the dad who appreciates a sense of place in his seasoning. This collection features Savory Spice’s Colorado-inspired blends—a fitting tribute from a brand built in Denver.

Build Your Own Bundle: A Personalized Gift for Him
Can’t decide? The Build Your Own Bundle lets you hand-pick exactly the spices and seasonings that match his grilling style—and save money while doing it.
This is the best option for the dad who’s particular about what he uses, has a specific flavor profile he gravitates toward, or has been eyeing a few specific blends. Instead of guessing, you’re building the gift around what he actually wants. Choose from over 400 spices, herbs, and seasonings and put together a set that’s genuinely his.
Easy Gift: BBQ Spice Rubs & Grilling Seasonings
Sometimes the best gift is giving him his favorite blend he keeps running out of—or introducing him to one he hasn’t tried yet. Our full BBQ and grilling collection includes rubs and seasonings for every protein, cooking style, and flavor preference, all handcrafted in small batches in Denver.
From deep hickory smokehouse rubs and Texas-style brisket blends to bright lemon pepper seasonings, pepper-forward butcher rubs, and Caribbean-inspired grilling spices, the collection covers the full range of summer grilling.
Whether you pick one as a stocking-stuffer-style add-on or grab several to round out a gift, individual spice jars are an easy win for any grilling dad, without having to overthink it.
The Pitmaster’s Secret Weapon: Cue Glue
If your pitmaster dad takes his low-and-slow cooking seriously, ‘Cue Glueis the kind of gift that makes him feel like you really paid attention.
Inspired by the mustard-and-pickle-juice slathers used by Southern pitmasters, ‘Cue Glue is a barbecue binder designed to be applied before a dry rub to help seasoning stick to meat and lock in moisture during long smokes. The tang burns off during the cook, leaving behind only a deeper, chewier bark and a rub that stays put through hours on the smoker. It’s one of our Founders’ Favorites, and one of the most-gifted items for dads who smoke brisket, ribs, and pork shoulder.
Pair it with the Texas Brisket Rub or Platte Smokehouse Rib Rub for a gift he’ll put to use the next weekend he fires up the smoker.
BBQ Sauces & Marinades
Great grilling doesn’t end with the rub. For the dad who finishes everything with a sauce, layers in a marinade, or loves having a well-stocked condiment shelf alongside his spice collection, our sauce and marinade lineup is worth exploring.
Whether he’s the type to baste ribs in the final stretch, splash a smoky sauce over pulled pork, or marinate steak overnight before it ever touches the grill, there’s a sauce or marinade to match the way he cooks.
Spice & Easy Meal Starters – For the Dad Who Cooks All Week
Not every great dad gift has to be grill-focused. For the dad who cooks bold, flavorful meals all week—not just on the weekends. Spice & Easy Meal Starters are an easy win. Each one is a pre-measured spice packet that takes the guesswork out of weeknight cooking: just add the fresh ingredients, follow the simple instructions, and dinner’s done in under 30 minutes.
It’s a thoughtful gift for the dad who loves being in the kitchen but doesn’t always have the time or energy to plan from scratch. From quick pastas and skillet meals to easy soups and sheet pan dinners, these packets cover a wide range of weeknight cooking without sacrificing flavor.
Savory Spice Gift Cards
Not sure which set is right, or want to let him choose for himself? A Savory Spice gift card is the cleanest option — available in denominations from $10 to $100, and redeemable across the full catalog of over 400 spices, herbs, seasonings, and blends. Digital cards are delivered instantly, making this the perfect last-minute Father’s Day option if the day snuck up on you.
