Five Star Gift Ideas

Tom yum soup is a spicy and flavorful Thai soup that has become popular around the world. If your dad loves this soup, then why not create a gift basket with all the ingredients he needs to make it at home?

Here are some ideas:

1. Tom Yum Soup Kit: You can find premade tom yum soup kits at many specialty food stores or online. These kits typically include the necessary ingredients for the soup such as lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, chili paste, and fish sauce.

2. Tom Yum Base: If you cannot find a premade kit, then consider buying your dad a tub of tom yum base that he can use to make the soup. Many Asian grocers sell tom yum base in the soup section.

3. Traditional Tom Yum Ingredients: If your dad likes to cook from scratch, then buy him the individual ingredients he needs to make the soup including fresh lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, and Thai chilies.

4. Serving Dish: Every great soup deserves a great bowl. Get your dad a traditional Thai soup bowl set to make his tom yum soup look even more appetizing.

5. Cookbook: If your dad is a bit hesitant to try making tom yum soup from scratch, then perhaps a cookbook with easy-to-follow instructions would be a good option. You can find many cookbooks featuring Thai cuisine at your local bookstore or online.

6. Spices: If you want to help enhance the flavor of your dad's soup, then add some spices to the mix. Whole Foods or other specialty retailers will have a variety of different spices that can be mixed in to create unique and exciting flavors.

7. Beverage to go with meal: To complement your dad’s Tom Yum soup, consider gifting him with a six pack of beer or his favourite non alcoholic beverage.

With these gift basket ideas, your dad can enjoy his love for tom yum soup from the comfort of his own home.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.
