This father’s day I wanted to get my husband something really special.  He has sacrificied and achieved so much this year so I wanted to show him my thanks for being such a great husband and father.  When searching ideas on the internet I found plenty of the typical gift ideas; razor, golf accessories, tools, electronics, nifty gadgets.  However, none of these things work for my husband.  He has a razor that he loves and won’t buy a new one until the current one dies.  He has no interests in sports, especially golf.  He has every tool under the sun already and if he doesn’t have it…there is a good reason why he doesn’t have it.  And as far as electronics, he isn’t interested in computers, cameras, cool TVs or DVDs, I bought him a PS2 a couple years back and he loved it, we played it all the time, and then we had a kid.  Try playing a video game with a 1 year old around…you just can’t.  We are actually amazed that our PS2 still works because of how many times our son has ran away with the controller and pulled the unit with him.  The gadgets are cool but often aren’t really worth the money.  The only thing I could think of was fishing stuff.  We moved to an area where my husband could really fish on a regular basis so I thought maybe giving him a day out fishing would be fun.  However, I wanted to give more than just alone time.  So I searched for fishing gift ideas and ended up coming across the coolest gift idea. A fishing themed gift basket!

I found the basket on unusualgiftbaskets.net. They have posts for gift basket ideas for everybody and many occassions.  After reading through the website I realized that gift baskets make really great gifts for every and any occasion. I always see gift baskets in stores at Christmas and thought that they were always over priced and not very well made. However, the baskets on unusualgiftbaskets.net look very well made and are priced accurately.  Unusualgiftbaskets.net also has tips on how to make your own gift basket at home if you need the help.  Unusualgiftbaskets.net promotes two particular online gift basket stores All About Gifts and Baskets and  Design It Yourself Gift Baskets. Both sites have a large variety of gift baskets that can suit any occasion and any person.  They are full of great items and the presentation of the gift baskets looks wonderful! 

After looking at these sites I got very excited about the products and will probably be buying a lot of gift baskets this year.  I even found some baskets I would love to receive myself.  I have ordered the fishing gift basket for my husband and am very excited about it.  I think it will be a great surprise for him this Father’s Day.  It is a wonderful Father’s Day gift idea and it wasn’t the only one that looked good!  There were other themed baskets that would suit most men, the common themes were golf, sports, casino/gambling, grilling/BBQ, fishing, motorcycle, spciy food, beer/wine, spices/sauces, and movie themed. 

The basket I ordered is the basket pictured here.  It comes with a large wicker fishing creel basket with should strap, 3 oz Summer Sausage, Grained Mustard, Creamy Vegetable Dip, 4 oz Honey Roasted Peanuts, 2 oz. Cheddar Cheese Flavor Pretzel Dipping Sticks, You’re a Winner Sunkist Fruit Gems, Fish Bait Gummy Worms, Caramels, Fishing Cooler Cup, Fish Caller, 5×7 Fishing Photo Frame, Fisherman’s "The Big One" Ruler, and The Fisherman’s Guide to Life Book.  I purchased this basket from .  

Design It Yourself Gift Baskets has some great gift baskets as well.  Their site is really cool because you can customize every basket and even create your own gift basket from scratch!  For those that aren’t very creative or crafty this is great because you can choose everything from which basket to use to which gifts will go inside and then they put it together and ship it for you.  It is as simple as 1, 2, 3.  However, as far as the pre-made gift baskets All About Gifts and Baskets caught my attention more.  So depending on what I want I will be visitng one or the other and truly buying gift baskets for every occasion.

Good Luck shopping and have fun.  I did!
