Fathers Day is a wonderful time to make a special gift basket for your father, husband, grandfather, or any other special man in your life. Personalize your gift basket by filling it with small gift items related to his favorite pastime, hobby, or sport. To personalize further, select small packages of his favorite sweets or snacks.
Is your special guy an avid golfer? If he is, then what could be a better gift than a homemade golf gift basket! A wire bogey basket would make a great container. Place straw, green shred, or a golf towel in the container and fill it with small gift items (golf balls, tees, gloves, a notepad, waterproof pen, or a golfer's cap or sun viser). Add an issue of Golf Digest magazine, a book on golf, and small well-wrapped packages of his favorite food treats.
If he loves to fish, create a special gift basket loaded with small fishing gifts. For a rustic look, make the filler for the container by shredding newspapers or brown wrapping paper. In addition to fishing necessities (hooks, floats, lures, etc.), include a dispensable camera, a photo frame with a fishing theme, a can of insect repellent, or a first aid kit. Include small bags of pretzels, chips, nuts, or trail mix; add cans of his favorite beverages.
Perhaps he enjoys a glass of good wine on occasion. Choose a wicker basket with a handle so you can anchor a bottle of wine by tying the bottle to the handle with twine. Place plenty of filler materials in the basket to cushion the bottle of wine; straw, excelsior, or purchased shred are all good choices. After you have centered and anchored the bottle of wine, add small packages of cheeses, gourmet crackers, mixed nuts, and something chocolate. Just before presenting the gift basket, add a few small bunches of fresh grapes for a lovely decorative touch.
Homemade gifts are a way of showing love and appreciation to those special people in our lives. Any man would be delighted to receive a gift you created just for him on Fathers Day or on other holidays or special occasions.
