Need help with basket/gift ideas...

I am trying to come up with a unique gift/basket idea to send to a client of ours. I want it to be different and fun. I was thinking a cookie basket, fruit basket or my usual cheese/crackers/chocolate basket but he is around food all day and can eat anything he wants. It is a man so no lotions or spa baskets. I am stumped. Any ideas? Please list sites if possible. Thank you!! Chat Icon Chat Icon

I put together a basket of travel games and cards for a raffle recently and it seemed to be a popular item.

If you are thinking of cookies- definitely try the cookie bouquet place.
The cookies are AMAZINGLY delicious and they do them up so cool.
Here is the website....

Cookies by Design

how about a movie basket? With popcorn, snowcaps, a gift card to blockbuster, and maybe a dvd that he likes?

Try this place

I've never ordered from there, but they seem manly!

Beer baskets, golf baskets, grilling/marinating, handyman...

I wouldn't get a gift basket for a man's man.

What about one of those gift sets from the liquor store that comes with glasses or in a nice case?

Or a cigar set - a couple of nice cigars, the accessory kit (cutter, lighter, etc) with one of those leather cigar holders or humidors.

Re: Need help with basket/gift ideas...

This is what my cousin did for my brother. He went to a store that sold buffalo beer (6 pack) in different flavors (microbrews) and then filled the rest of the basket with BBQ flavors that are made by local restuarants up there for grilling purposes.

If you didn't want to do the beer part, you could substitute that for grill accessories.

I concur.
Omaha Steaks are great and WHO wouldn't want a few good steaks! They have all different price points too!

I hope you will call my friend Emmy. Or e-mail her [email protected] (there is no t). She does amazing work, she loves what she does and she charges more than fairly. I think you should also talk to her about becoming a vendor.
