Valentine Baskets For Him

Wine gift basket for him.


Although Valentine's Day represents love and romance, it's one of the most difficult times to buy something the man in your life will truly enjoy and appreciate. How many red and pink teddy bears can a guy really love? Try something different, such as a gift basket. There are many places that sell baskets already put together, or you can build a basket specifically for the guy in your life. Think about his interests, hobbies and lifestyle, then start purchasing small objects to fill the basket of your choice.


Sports and Outdoors Guys


If your guy is heavily into sports, golfing, fishing, hunting or any similar activity, tailor a basket to those hobbies. Even though they might not seem incredibly romantic to you, he'll probably appreciate items he can use more than stuffed animals and flowers. This will show him you take an interest in him and the things he enjoys.


A football fan might enjoy cookies, popcorn, nuts, a football-themed beer mug, chips and dip plate, sausage and cheese or whatever his favorite game-time snacks are. Put all of these items in a traditional basket or even a football helmet with decals from his favorite team.


A fisherman might enjoy a basket, retro lunch pail or small cooler filled with bobbers, coffee, snacks, fisherman's picture frame and fishing books.


The golfer in your life might enjoy a basket resembling a golf bag filled with tees, golf balls, hand towels, gloves, bottled water, energy bars, golf books and his favorite snacks.


Other Hobbies


Motorcycle enthusiasts might enjoy a Harley Davidson themed basket or a six-pack ice chest, filled with a black leather clad teddy bear, motorcycle picture frame and his favorite road snacks.


A basket or ice chest filled with a racing history book, checkered flag, hat or die-cast car representing his favorite, mug and car or race-themed candy would be perfect for the racing fan in your life.


If he's an avid reader, fill his basket with a few books you know he'd love, along with the snacks he enjoys with a good book. A large popcorn bucket or tin could hold the latest DVDs along with gourmet popcorn and movie snacks if he's a movie buff.


Barbecue accessories and sauces would fill a self-proclaimed grill-master's basket nicely. Small tools or a new tool box stuffed with yummy treats would be appropriate for the guy that's always looking for something to fix.


A cigar box or humidor would be fitting for the cigar enthusiast, while a wine and cheese basket would be appropriate for a wine connoisseur.


Food and Romance


A large basket filled with his favorite candies would win over a guy with a sweet tooth. Try adding homemade cookies or other treats for a special, romantic touch. If he doesn't have much of a sweet tooth, you can opt for baskets filled with sausages, cheese, crackers and other manly snacks.


You can fill a basket with typical Valentine's Day gifts as well. Perhaps his favorite cologne, a stuffed animal, picture frame with your picture, watch, wallet and candy would work.


For a truly romantic evening, fill a basket with two wine glasses, his favorite wine, a candle or two, a rose, massage oil, bath salts and anything else you can think of to create the perfect evening for just the two of you. Add extra naughty adult-themed items if it suits you and your relationship.
