Homemade Gift Basket Ideas | Making A Gift Basket For Fathers Day

Fathers day was created by Sonora Smart in 1909. After her mother passed away, Sonora was raised by her father, Henry Jackson Smart and she wanted him to know how special he was to her. She chose June, the month he was born, to start this special day.

Most fathers don’t look for appreciation for all they do. They care and look after their families with a sense of duty and pride, which is why it’s so important to create a personalized gift for them on their day.

Start with a basket or any container that will hold small to medium size items. You could use a lunchbox, a small cooler chest, a tool box, a tackle box or an ice bucket. Line it with a checkered cloth napkin or some shredded shiny gift wrap.

Being the contents will depend on his hobbies and interests, what you fill it with will vary from basket to basket but here’s a list of items to get you started.

cheese and crackers
sausage
gourmet coffees and creamers
a special mug.
barbecue utensils and apron
fishing supplies
golf balls and tees
insulated drink holder
movie gift baskets
manicure set
gift certificate to a movie or his favorite restaurant
magazine subscription
imported beer or wine

Take some time and browse through your local stores. Keep an open mind and a sharp eye for those items that would make his basket as special as he is.
