Buying for someone who lives at the barbecue? These BBQ gift packs are built around flavour, not novelty aprons. Pick a rub set for the brisket nut, a hot sauce trio for the chilli head, or one of our own boxes like High Steaks or Low & Slow Brisket Box. Can't pick? A gift card or The Contraband Club crate lets them choose. Christmas, Father's Day or a birthday, it all ships flat $10 anywhere in Australia.
What's a good gift for someone who loves BBQ?
A good BBQ gift is something they'll actually cook with: a rub set, a sauce trio or a gift box matched to what they love to smoke or grill. Pick by the cook, not the price tag. If you can't tell a brisket rub from a pork rub, a gift card or a subscription crate lets them choose.

Hot sauce gift packs
For the one who puts chilli on everything, the Nomad Chilli Co trios are an easy pick. Want more range? Browse the full hot sauce shelf and check each bottle's Hub Heat rating before you buy.
BBQ rub gift sets
Rub sets let them test a whole range on the same cut. Stef the Maori's The Full Stef bundles all four seasonings, Middle Kingdom's Full Kingdom Bundle and Uncle Mungos' The Lot cover a brand top to bottom, and Spicetub's Build Your Own Trio and BBQ Lab's Mix & Match let you choose the line-up. Prefer to build your own? Grab a few shakers from our BBQ rubs range.
Something a bit different
Not every gift needs to be a rub. Blend Smoked Honey's 3-pack, Goan Cuisine's Chutney Trio, Chuck Hughes' Pick Any 3 Jars, 3099 Jerky's Build-Your-Own 3-Pack and the McAdventures Expedition Pack all bring something new to the table.
Christmas and Father's Day BBQ gifts
Christmas in Australia lands right in barbecue season, so a gift pack gets used on Boxing Day, not shoved in a drawer. Father's Day in September is perfect timing too, with spring cooks firing up the smoker again.

Stuck? The Rub Hub gift card lets them pick from 80+ makers themselves. For a gift that keeps turning up, The Contraband Club is our monthly BBQ crate. Looking for multi-packs of a single product instead? Each maker's page on our brands page lists what they offer.
Frequently asked questions
What are good BBQ gifts for men?
Good BBQ gifts for men, or anyone who runs the grill, are things they'll cook with: a rub set for brisket, a hot sauce trio, a sauce gift box or a steak-focused pack. Match it to what they cook most. If you're unsure, a gift card lets them choose from 80+ makers.
Do you sell hot sauce gift packs?
Yes, we stock hot sauce gift packs including Nomad Chilli Co's Classics Trio and Barbecue Trio fermented hot sauce bundles. They're a good way to try several flavours at once. Every product page shows its Hub Heat rating out of 11, so you can match the heat to the person you're buying for.
What's in a BBQ rub gift set?
A BBQ rub gift set bundles several rubs, usually from one maker, so the cook can try a full range on different meats. Examples here include Stef the Maori's The Full Stef and Uncle Mungos' The Lot. Each listing shows exactly which rubs are included, so check the product page before ordering.
Can I buy a BBQ gift hamper for Christmas?
Yes, our gift packs and boxes work as BBQ gift hampers for Christmas, packed with rubs, sauces or condiments from independent makers. Christmas falls in Australian barbecue season, so they get used straight away. Pick one by the cook, like a brisket box for the smoker owner or a hot sauce trio for the chilli head.
What do I buy the BBQ cook who has everything?
Get them a Rub Hub gift card or a subscription to The Contraband Club, our monthly BBQ crate. A gift card lets them pick their own rubs and sauces from 80+ makers. The crate brings new flavours to their door, so there's no risk of doubling up on what's in their pantry.
