Father's Day Gift Baskets from your Kitchen
By Cheri Sicard
 Surprise
Dad with some great gifts that you make yourself, right in your own kitchen.
Start with a fun container, then stuff it with some favorite treats and
small gifts. Sure, you could spend more for a Father's Day gift, but it
wouldn't have more heart.
You could use a basket for the container, and if your Dad
particularly likes wicker, you probably should. Otherwise, why not get
creative and choose a unique container to better fit your Dad's personality.
Some possibilities include:
- a metal lunchbox
- an insulated lunch bag
- a small plastic cooler chest
- a tool or tackle box
- a picnic basket
- a galvanized bucket or watering can
- a new portable barbecue grill or hibachi
- flower pots
- an ice bucket
- any variety of cooking pots, pans or bowls
Once you've decided on a container, fill it with some of
Dad's favorite treats, or stick with a theme. For instance, if your Dad
loves to barbecue, you might fill a galvanized bucket with some barbecue
utensils, add a bag of mesquite wood chips and decorative jars and bottles
of spice blends, meat rubs and home made mustards and vinegars (see recipe
links below).
We've gathered lots of "Father Friendly Gift Basket
Filler" recipes. Mix, match and package in decorative containers
and jars to make the perfect gift basket for your favorite father.
