Make Your Own Football Gift BasketsFor Super Bowl Parties or TailgatersIt's really easy to make football gift baskets for the sports fan in your family or as football coaches gifts. Also they are great as gifts for super bowl parties or as a tailgating gift. 
Select an appropriate container, and fill it with football theme gifts and well wrapped snacks. Baskets, trays, or unbreakable pails, tubs, or basins which could be used to chill beverages. If you don't have much time or prefer to keep it simple, go to your local hardware store or house wares department and pick up a galvanized pail or small tub. Line it with lots of crumpled newspaper or brown paper and fill it with bottles or cans of beer. Then add several small packages of chips, pretzels, and nuts. If you choose bottles you'll need to place something soft between them so the bottles don't break; shredded brown paper or newspaper works well. Or scatter peanuts in the shell around the bottles.
If you are attending a super bowl party, why not put together an assortment of cheeses, salami, pepperoni, crackers, tortilla chips, jars of salsa and dip, and several packets of microwave popcorn as a host/hostess gift.Finally, this recipe for caramel nut popcorn balls are yummy and look great in your football gift baskets. Make them on the smallish side and wrap each in clear paper tied with twine or raffia.
