Homemade Fathers Day Gift Baskets

Gift Baskets For Dad, Grandpa, or Hubby

By creating homemade Fathers Day gift baskets for dads, husbands, brothers, and all the special men in your life your gifts will be special

There are many themes that are appropriate for Fathers Day, but it's best if you personalize your gift baskets by choosing gift and food items that are his favorites.

happy fathers day
If you are looking for a gift for a golfer, check out this web page: homemade gift baskets for golfers.

Here are brief descriptions of three more theme ideas:

  • If your father is considered the grill master in your family, a barbecue basket is a easy theme.. A vegetable-style grilling basket would be a nice container. Line the basket with a bbq theme towel, an apron, or heatproof hand mitts. Add a spatula, tongs, skewers, basting brush, and a grilling cookbook. Complete your gift with spices, marinades, sauces, or rubs. Wrap the entire gift in cello and tie it up with ribbon or raffia; add a gift card.

  • A beer gift basket would be a nice theme for a beer lover. Fathers Day Start with a galvanized tub or pail of the appropriate size. Paint a design on the outside using stencils or freehand if you are artistic. Fill the container with straw and add cans or bottles of beer, mugs, a bottle opener, beer nuts, pretzels, chips, dips, beef jerky, and other favorite snacks. It's not necessary to even wrap your completed gift. If the container has a handle add ribbon and a gift tag. Or, insert a banner or small balloon on a stick that says "Happy Father's Day."


  • A gift for sports fan is another option. In addition to baskets, some container ideas are a cooler, unbreakable beer tray (with a edge), a trash can with his favorite team's logo. Here are some gift ideas to place in homemade Fathers Day gift baskets: cap, insulated mug, banner, or tee shirt with favorite team's logo. An issue of Sports Illustrated or another sports related magazine. Fill in the empty spaces with cans of beer and bags of peanuts, chips, or pretzels.


  • If you've never made a gift basket before, you may want to read through my assembly and decorating information web page: how to make gift baskets!

    You might consider a container other than a basket for making homemade Fathers Day gift baskets. An ice bucket, cooler, trash can, pail, basin, or bucket are some ideas. A remote control holder or some desk accessories (like letter trays, organizers, etc.) would work also.

    Here are several suggested generic gift ideas for your homemade Fathers Day gift baskets: deck of cards, poker chips, sunglasses, maps, can cooler, Happy Fathers Day shoe shine kit, remote control, book, magazine, liquer flask, after shave lotion, bars of soap, hair brush, car air freshener, car wash coupons, pens, pencils, business card holder, and his favorite snack foods.

    Your choices really are limitless. Making a gift basket isn't just about how much money you spend. Walk through your local dollar-type store, Walmart, etc. and just look around for gift items.

    Most important...make your homemade Fathers Day gift basket personal. Instead of spending a lot of money, select his favorite gift and food items.
