1. SCOTCH INFUSED TOOTHPICKS; $36

If you’ve noticed your dad grabbing a handful of toothpicks on his way out of a restaurant, it might be nice to get him some of his own for fancier occasions. These toothpicks have the subtle flavor of single malt scotch; they're made with a “barrel-aged, Islay single malt made by a 200-year-old distillery for a distinctively smoky flavor with notes of peat and complex caramel.” Each box contains four vials, with 12 toothpicks in each.
