Homemade BBQ Rub {Father's Day}


I love homemade gifts, especially from children.  I think it is also super fun for kids to get involved in gift-giving in their own special way.  And frankly, I quickly run out of ideas of what to buy the dad that seems to have everything and need nothing. 

I recently ran across this fun Father's Day idea and thought it would make the perfect homemade Father's Day gift for a few good dads we know.  What dad doesn't love to BBQ?  A homemade rub to season meat, ribs, steaks, chicken and more seems like the perfect gift for the grill-loving dad.

Simply combine all of the ingredients below and package in air-tight mason jars.  Your kids can make their own labels or you can download these fun ones from Design Mom.

Spicy BBQ Rub 
2 tablespoons chilli powder
2 tablespoons sea salt flakes
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon smoky paprika
1 tablespoon dried thyme
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

I love this idea because it is simple for kids and will be well-used and appreciated by the dads we know.

Do you have any fun homemade ideas for Father's Day?
Happy Father's Day Weekend!
