Grilling gift baskets are a common panacea to the “I don’t really know this person, or they are really hard to shop for” problem. Every single one has a set of barbecue tools, maybe a new lighter, and definitely some barbecue sauce.
That’s all well and good, but most people have a healthy supply of grilling tools as a result. It can be tough to come up with gift ideas for folks that you don’t know all that well.
We’ve solved that problem. This list of 15 grilling gifts are ones that you’ve never heard of before.
Go ahead, put a grilling gift basket together, and include these things that no one has heard of before. Stand out from the crowd.
Plus, you can have a generic gift basket, but one that’s full of things people would actually like to get, because they don’t already have four Himalayan salt blocks.

Grill Charms
Buy on AmazonI first saw these puppies on Shark Tank, and they are pretty nifty, especially if you are serving a crowd. Do you use the “this side of the plate is rare, then medium rare and then this other side is well done” system? It’s kinda crappy. Ditto when it’s spicy foods. Grill charms stick into your meat, so they’re labeled.
