Homemade Gift Basket Ideas For Men

A Tisket, A Tasket - What kind of Basket?

Do you HAVE to use a basket for a gift basket?

No, you don't have to use a basket to make a gift basket! Let your imagination roam free! There are as many possibilities as there are stars in the sky. Ok, ok...I'm gushing.

Let's ponder some of those possibilities then.

How about buckets, golf ball buckets, wine buckets, fishing tackle boxes/baskets, tool boxes, hats, caps, barbecue mitts, beer steins, ice chests, mugs, coffee cups, serving trays, trash cans, laundry baskets, planters, pitchers, hat boxes...

Get the idea? You can use just about anything you want, that you can put something INTO.

Thinking about it another way, you can go for something related to the occasion.

Son going away to college? Laundry basket filled with "necessaries" and especially, with goodies! Put some of the items in cellophane gift bags, tie a huge pull bow to the basket and WA-LAH! A College Send-off for your young man!

The Toolbox Gift Box - A Creative Homemade Gift Basket Idea

What guy wouldn't love one of these!

Oh what dad doesn't like his tools? Even the simple screwdriver or tape measure can be a great gift ; he could always use a new one or a spare. Or what about some chammy cloths or mechanic's hand cleaner?

You can purchase an inexpensive (toy style) tool box or go to a hardware store and purchase a really nice one he can use.

Don't just add tools though--add his favorite items such as magazines, drinks, snacks, gift cards, fishing supplies, garage decor or whatever it is that Dad loves. He will enjoy looking at this gift and then digging in.

Add large packs or items or tools such as screwdrivers towards the back of your toolbox.

Roll up magazines and put towards the back.

No need to wrap up this gift if you use some cellophane gift bags to wrap the individual items.

Hey, how about a homemade toffee or brittle - a good one for dad! He'll love it!

The Sportsman Gift Basket Box

Does your special guy love sports?

How about items with his favorite team logo like hats, mugs, trading cards, coasters, beer or sports drinks and some snacks like nuts, chips, microwave popcorn, or cookies? Toss in a couple of his favorite sports magazines, and/or tickets to a game if possible. The container can be cool too! Use a plastic football helmet, an ice bucket, medium ice chest, or...a basket. LOL

Does he play golf? How about golf balls, tees, sunglasses, a visor, an insulated drink holder (koozie), beer or sports drink, a favorite snack or two, and a golf towel. Container can be cooler or a golf ball bucket! Uhm, or a basket. See?

How about fixing him a movie night gift basket?

Does your guy love movies? Action, horror, thriller or sci-fi?

You could also add a movie gift card from Fandango or some movie tickets from another local theater that he can enjoy another time.
