Baskets of goodies are the best kinds of gifts because they
are simple to make, fun to give, and even more fun to
receive! And the best part is, Dad is guaranteed to love
his gift because it's filled with all of his favorite
things! Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Is Dad a Fisherman?
Fill a plastic fishing tackle box with homemade fishing
lures; a joke book for those many hours waiting for the
fish to bite; and a few of his favorite snacks.
- Is Dad a Cook?
Purchase a plain apron with pockets at an art supply store.
Decorate the apron with your handprints or draw pictures of
Dad's favorite foods. Fill the pockets with new utensils,
spices in small plastic jars, and a decorated potholder.
- Is Dad a Golfer?
Fill a few new headcovers with golf balls; personalized
tees; a small towel; sports drinks; and a sun visor or
sunglasses.
- Is Dad a Handyman?
Fill a small metal toolbox with a new hammer; screwdriver;
tape measure; nails; screws; and a few of Dad's favorite
snacks. Decorate the inside lid with pictures of you and
Dad together.
Almost any container can be filled with surprises that Dad
will love. Be creative, and have fun with it!
