Father's Day is coming up on June 17th of this year. Now if you are like me then the men in your life are the hardest ones to shop for. It seems that they either buy what they want or they want something that is totally out of my price range like a new electronic gadget or tool (which I typically know absolutely nothing about). Since this is my husband's first father's day as a daddy I wanted to figure out something special to get him and it has made me think about different basket ideas.
Have you ever noticed during a gathering, party or bbq that the men are always either gathered around the grill or the alcohol? I don't know if this is just my family and friends or if it happens with yours too but that is what I have noticed. So how about a bbq basket with a new grill set (like spatula, tongs, grill brush), apron (with maybe grill master on it), their favorite bbq sauce or seasonings, a meat rub and cookbook. You could get them a shots basket which includes small bottles of different alcohol, shot glasses and recipes or a basket with all the makings of their favorite beverage. Then they can share all their new goodies with the other guys at the next gathering.
Most of the guys in my family like various sports like football, golf, fishing and baseball. You could make tailgating baskets filled with their favorite snacks, some beer and maybe tickets to a game. If they like fishing you could buy a bunch of fishing lures and some new fishing line and put that in a basket. You could set up a golfing basket and include golf balls, tees, pencils, set up a tee time at a course they love and some money for some drinks at the clubhouse after.
Now you could always just make a basket filled with all his favorite things. You could include his favorite cologne, snacks and drinks. If he loves the movies you could include movie tickets. If he loves electronics include a gift certificate to his favorite gadgets store.
Just remember that guys like that sentimental mushy stuff too...sometimes. But also remember that you have to lighten it up with a joke of some kind too (you know guys and showing their emotions).
Make sure that whatever you get that special dad in your life it expresses how much you love him and appreciate everything he has done for you. Dad's are hardworking, loving, giving and deserve to feel loved too. As always let me know if you would like a basket by emailing me at CaringExpressionsGiftBaskets@gmail.com
