HOMEMADE FATHER'S DAY GIFT BASKETS

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 or 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.
