It seems to be hard to buy for men. At least it is for me. There are only so many times I can buy golf clubs or fishing gear before I am looking for new ideas to get for the men in my life. This has led me to think a lot about things like gift baskets for him. Though women often get these from friends and family alike, it is not often many think to get them for the men they love. Just like the female version of these, they can be tailored to whatever it is that the man in your life might like to have.
When you're brainstorming the gift baskets for men concept, you want to define the basket part loosely. Think of this as an assortment of wonderful goodies you know he'll use. Be creative on the container. Remember, you want him to actually make use of the whole gift.
Every man has food and beverage favorites. Some men even like to cook. The traditional food gift basket may seem like an obvious choice, but you don't need to fill this basket with the usual lineup - sausage, cheese, jams and fruit. Maybe your man loves nothing better than a good cup of Joe and oatmeal cookies. Give him what he likes!
Though the most common types of gift basket supplies might be candies and lotions, you should know that this is just the tip of the iceberg. If you were to browse through what they have, you may come up with many great ideas for people who are hard to shop and buy for. These can even be great ideas for bosses and coworkers when you need something to give, but you have no idea what they may like.
Some men are after-shave and men's cologne connoisseurs. They somewhat secretly collect new scents, with judicious dabs that hopefully wow the ladies. They like to experiment with different fragrances. Go to an upscale department store and engage the help of a clerk at the men's counter. Let the clerk know you're looking for unusual, designer or new after-shaves and colognes. These gift baskets for men can get pricey, but hey! He's worth it. Get a sturdy rattan shelf style basket that can sit on a table or hang on the wall.
If he's the scholarly type who's always reading, there are what might be called book accessories. Try starting with an assortment of bookmarks and bookplates. If you've never shopped this market, you'll be amazed at the beautiful products that are available. A magazine-style basket might be a good choice in this man's gift basket. Tuck a bag of gourmet coffee or a bottle of his favorite liqueur inside and you're set!
Though most men might seem a little put off when you hand them a gift basket, they are going to change their tune very quickly when they see they aren't getting a pile of fruit, but rather a basket full of goodies that they are going to love. It's not that fruit is bad, but most men won't see much value in getting a basketful. However, just about anything else is going to be very welcome and very appreciated.
