What to Include in a Man's Gift Basket
Kim Allarie
Are you looking for a gift for one of the men in your life? Want to wish Dad a happy Father's Day? Is it time to congratulate a friend on a promotion? Mr. Right's birthday coming up next week? Whatever the occasion, a gift basket is a wonderful way to give men just what they need, or something they would really appreciate.
You can fill the basket with all kinds of things. How about a tiny chuck wagon full of delicious beef jerky? A container full of the fancy beers he's seen in all the ads? A 007-style Aston Martin filled with the latest men's aftershave?
A golf basket chock full of golf balls and miniature clubs is another great choice. Or a replica antique truck containing a selection of his favorite snacks. Select an assortment of chocolates that no man can refuse. Opt for the bucket full of sports pennants and a baseball that sits beside his favorite chips to munch while watching the game.
Maybe you're searching for a gift basket for an outdoorsy man. You could select a basket that is full of pine cones and fish hooks. Maybe the gift basket can hold a pair of miniature skis surrounded by hot chocolate to be enjoyed at the end of a run. Coffee would be a nice thing to put in a gift basket - he could share it with his friends.
Wines and cheeses make for a great gift basket for a man. His favorite Syrah can be nestled in the midst of gourmet Gouda or Brie. A superb bottle of port surrounded by Muenster won't last long. A Gewrztraminer will look enticing when set beside a fine cheddar.
Men's gift baskets can be tailor made according to a particular occasion. For example, if you are searching for a gift basket to celebrate a promotion at work, then it would be ideal to give a pen set basket. This can be surrounded with quotes to inspire the next round of success. If someone has won a prize for creating a ship in a bottle, he'd love a basket with tiny ships and a bottle of excellent wine in it, while the star of the local bowling alley would prefer small bowling balls with his bottle.
Sometimes you might want to give a gift basket for no particular reason, just to let the recipient know that he is great. A great option here is a barbecue basket; line it with an apron that he will require in order to keep the sauce off his favorite shirt. The basket could be filled with a selection of sauces and tools in order to treat the entire family. A basket that proclaims "World's Greatest Dad" (or whatever the relationship) will be a hit.
No matter if you want a gift basket for the man in your personal life, a special occasion, or a corporate event, there is no shortage of ideas to suit the occasion.
