Gift baskets that are personalized for the recipients hobbies are very popular gifts. There are a number of great ideas for gift baskets for men:
1) Casino Night
Fill this basket with his favorite snacks but add creative touches such as chocolate dice and chocolate coins from a gourmet candy store. Add a deck of cards, a book of card games, or travel-sized games for poker or craps. Using black, white and red colors for paper shred and other embellishments rounds out this casino-themed basket.
2) Movie Night
Movie Night gift baskets are very popular. Start with a popcorn-themed container (ceramic containers or die cut cardboard boxes are widely available). Add gourmet popcorn and movie candy. To personalize the gift, add a few DVDs of his favorite classic movies or a gift certificate to a theater or for movie rentals.
3) King of BBQ
Is he a BBQ enthusiast? Use a creative container (e.g., galvanized tin tub or color pail) and fill with gourmet barbecue sauces, rubs and condiments (mustards, relishes, ketchup, etc.). Add refreshing ice tea or lemonade mixes, barbecue tools and a barbecue cookbook. For a personal touch, include a monogrammed apron.
4) Golf Lover
There are many golf-themed snacks on the market such as chocolate golf balls and tee-shaped pretzels. Add other snacks such as gourmet popcorn, kettle corn, or mixed nuts (cashews and pistachios are popular). Use a container such as a green golf ball bucket, throw in a golf towel or club cover, and you have a great gift.
5) Tailgater Essentials
Looking for a gift for the guy who loves to tailgate before the game? Fill a sturdy basket, cooler or tin tub with treats for the game. Include snacks that are easy to share such as caramel popcorn and honey roasted peanuts. Add chips, crackers, dips and salsas. For the ultimate gift, tie tickets for his favorite team to the bow.
6) Angler Special
Start with the perfect container: a fishing creel basket (there are many inexpensive ones on the market). Fill with tasty snacks but be sure to add some of the creative chocolate fish (molded or foiled) that are available from many gourmet chocolate stores. If you are more adventurous, you can skip the candy and fill the basket with his favorite smoked fish, cheese, crackers and dip.
Everyone loves receiving a personalized gift basket. With a little imagination, you can create the perfect gift basket that emphasizes his interests and hobbies.
