1. Portable grill

For that person who loves to barbecue, there will never be an excuse not to grill meat. However, on trips, camping, or other places where there is no grill, it can be difficult to satisfy that craving. Therefore, a portable grill is an excellent option for gifting a friend.

The Cimo Portable Grill is extremely practical to assemble and disassemble. It comes with a super resistant carrying bag, making it easy to take anywhere. Furthermore, it features a hybrid system, allowing you to choose between different heat sources, making the barbecue even more versatile.

2. Cutting board

The cutting board is one of the first items we should consider when choosing a gift for a barbecue lover. It's one of the basic items, used throughout the entire process! To be one of the grill master's best friends, it's important that it's made of a resistant and durable material.

A very popular option is wooden boards! From there, there are many variations, such as artisanal boards and even some versions that come with a thermal drawer to serve and keep the meat's temperature.

3. Barbecue knife

As essential as the cutting board, which we call the right arm, we can say that knives will be the grill master's "left arm." Indispensable from preparation to serving the meat, it's very important to have a quality barbecue knife.

Cutlery items are our specialty, and that's why, on the Cutelaria Cimo website, you'll find high-quality barbecue knives, offering longevity, a sharp cut, and super unique designs! Take the opportunity to check out our models!

4. Themed plate set

There are many plate sets made with a barbecue theme, and this is a great gift alternative for grill masters. They can be used to serve appetizers, meats, meals, and even for decoration.

Our tip is to look for more robust models made of ceramic for an extra visual charm.

5. Tongs/Meat grabber

Meat tongs, like the cutting board and knives, are indispensable for a good barbecue. They allow practical and safe handling of meats on the grill. Therefore, if you are looking for a gift for someone who loves barbecue, this is an excellent option.

Being longer utensils, tongs prevent direct contact between the grill master and the fire and heat, preventing accidents and providing more comfort during preparation.

Furthermore, to ensure even more safety, it is recommended to choose models with a wood-coated handle, which does not heat up in the area where the hand touches, like the CIMO model.

6. Apron

Whether in the kitchen or at a barbecue, anyone doing the preparations always appreciates a good apron. This piece is essential to protect clothes and the body from possible stains and burns, ensuring comfort and safety during meal preparation.

In addition, some specific barbecue models come with pockets, adding practicality by allowing utensils and seasonings to always be at hand. Without a doubt, it is a practical and indispensable gift!

7. Barbecue seasonings

A super accessible option that will please any good grill master is barbecue seasonings. There are many alternatives of ready-made barbecue seasonings and specific types of coarse salt that delight those passionate about the art.

When choosing seasonings, if you don't know the types, you can ask a salesperson for recommendations! Or, if you're a good observer, try to discover the favorite seasoning of the person you're gifting.

8. Appetizer platter

Do you think the grill master only lives on meat? Almost, but a cold appetizer also goes well while the meat is on the grill. Therefore, an appetizer platter is an excellent gift option for barbecue lovers.

This versatile utensil can be used on various occasions, including to serve the meat itself. With its dividers, it allows you to organize different types of meat and side dishes practically.

Bamboo-coated appetizer platters are great choices, as they are neutral and timeless, matching any style.

9. Thermal mug

Barbecue and cold beer form the perfect duo for many grill masters. However, with the constant heat of the grill, keeping drinks cold can be a challenge. That's why a thermal mug is the ideal gift, ensuring the drink stays cold while the meat is being prepared.

To make the gift even more special, you can customize the mug with the recipient's name, favorite soccer team, or something they like.

10. Bear claw

Many people still don't know this item, but you can bet your grill master friend does. The bear claw is used to facilitate meat handling, holding pieces of meat like rump cap, picanha, sirloin, ribeye, and even sausage, making the process much more practical and stylish.

11. Skewer set

As we've seen so far, many items are essential for a barbecue, and skewers are among them. This utensil is indispensable for grilling various types of cuts.

Since they are frequently used items, it's always a good option to help the grill master renew their skewer arsenal and thus discard older ones. When choosing, opt for pieces with wood-coated handles!

12. Knife sharpener

This is an excellent gift for anyone who cooks, as knives lose their edge over time, making precise and clean cuts difficult. With intense use of knives at a barbecue, the need to sharpen the blade is constant.

Therefore, a sharpener for the grill master's kit is a gift that will be extremely useful and facilitate their routine, ensuring precise cuts!

13. Cooler

Where there's barbecue, there's beer, and that's why the famous coolers or thermal boxes are another very useful item to add to this list.

This great gift can be used both to keep beer cold and to transport meats, keeping them chilled. Another advantage of coolers is that they make drinks more accessible, as they can accompany the person wherever they go!

14. Barbecue cutlery set

Have you ever been to a renowned steakhouse and noticed those robust cutlery sets, with sharp knives and sturdy forks, both with wooden handles exuding tradition and style? Gifting such a cutlery set is a way to elevate your friend's barbecue to a new level of elegance and practicality.

This set not only enhances the experience of enjoying meat but also adds a touch of sophistication to each meal, becoming indispensable for any barbecue lover.

15. Grill grate

Certain types of meat, such as lean beef cuts, fish, shrimp, and even vegetables, require the use of grill grates for perfect preparation on the barbecue. A quality grill grate is essential to ensure these foods are cooked evenly and deliciously.

When choosing a grill grate as a gift for a barbecue lover, opt for stainless steel models, which are durable, easy to clean, and offer the best performance for the grill master.

16. Electric charcoal starter

Lighting charcoal can be one of the most laborious steps of a barbecue. Therefore, gifting a barbecue lover with an electric charcoal starter is an excellent idea to simplify this process.

This equipment is extremely easy to use: just plug it in and place it in contact with the charcoal for a few minutes to light it. It's a practical and efficient solution that saves time and effort, allowing the grill master to focus on what really matters: preparing delicious meat.

17. Beer mug

In addition to the cooler and thermal mug, a great option for classic beer lovers are glass beer mugs. A gift that will undoubtedly be widely used both during and outside of barbecue events.

18. Barbecue sauce kit

For those who love to add a special touch to their barbecue, a sauce kit is the ideal gift. Like seasonings, sauces offer a variety of flavors that can transform the preparation and finishing of meats.

With a sauce kit, the barbecue lover can experiment with different combinations, from milder to spicier options, elevating the gastronomic experience to a new level.

In addition to providing a personalized and flavorful touch to dishes, a sauce kit also offers the convenience of having a diverse selection available for various occasions. It's a gift that demonstrates attention to detail and an appreciation for the pleasure of enjoying a good barbecue.


19. Two-pronged fork

A cousin of the bear claw, the two-pronged fork is also a tool that originated in the US to protect grill masters' hands and prevent bending with force when handling barbecue. It serves as a support when cutting meat and facilitates preparations. This is a robust and durable item that will certainly be valued by any barbecue lover who values the quality of their utensils.

20. Knife roll

For avid grill masters who value knife maintenance, a knife roll is an exceptional gift.

In addition to offering practicality and safety when storing, these cases allow knives to be transported with protection, preventing damage to the blades and ensuring they are always ready for the next barbecue.

21. Decorative frames for the barbecue corner

If your friend already has all the necessary accessories to prepare the meat, how about investing in decorating their barbecue space? Gifting decorative frames or wooden plaques can be a great choice.

You can opt for options such as frames with funny phrases, grill master sayings, or even frames to store beer caps. This type of gift is creative and adds a personal touch to the environment, making the barbecue corner even more special and welcoming.

22. Specialty beers

If the grill master you're gifting is a connoisseur of good beers, a selection of specialty beers can be the perfect present. Opting for craft or imported labels will show your care and attention in choosing, in addition to providing a unique tasting experience.

To make the gift even more special, you can put together a kit with different types of beers, including options with different fermentation types, such as lagers, ales, and stouts. Accompanied by an appropriate glass, they make the ideal combination for gifting.

23. Caipirinha kit

In addition to beer, another classic at barbecue gatherings is the caipirinha, the Brazilian drink par excellence. A caipirinha kit is a versatile and appreciated gift, which comes with all the necessary utensils to prepare the drink, such as a muddler, glass, bar spoon, and a cutting board.

To make this gift perfect for a barbecue lover, you can even complement it with good artisanal cachaça and some fresh fruits, such as lemons, to start the fun immediately!

24. Portable barbecue kit

For the grill master who likes to always be ready for an adventure, whether at a friend's house or on a trip, a portable barbecue kit is the ideal choice. This type of kit usually comes in a compact and resistant case, containing all essential utensils, such as knives, forks, and a cutting board.

The Travel Point Kit from Cutelaria Cimo, for example, is an excellent option for those who want practicality and style when transporting their barbecue items. It ensures that all utensils are safe and organized.

25. Meat thermometer

To ensure the perfect doneness of the meat and impress all guests, a meat thermometer is a gift that will win over any grill master. This instrument allows for precise measurement of the internal temperature of meats, ensuring perfect cooking, whether rare, medium, or well-done.

Choose a digital model that is easy to use and quick to read. It's the perfect gift for anyone looking to improve their barbecue skills and wants to ensure professional results with every cut.
