Gift Basket Ideas - help please

:p After being inspired by all the christmas gift baskets ideas on the site i have decided to use the idea for birthdays. Some great sales means i have completed several already.

Looking for some advice/ideas for the following baskets:

barbeque (so far have thought of apron, utensils and marinades)

chinese cookery (thought i could use a wok as a basket and then put in chopsticks, recipe book, rice bowls, spices)

also looking for theme ideas for two dads (50's - both have everything already) :eek:

any ideas gratefully recieved. :T

i love this board - so many great ideas :j

    You could add a BBQ cookbook to the first one. Will keep thinking of other ideas.

    For the Dad's you could aquire a newpaper from thei day they were born, favourite drink, sweets, biscuits, savoury snacks I know they have everything but it is thought that counts.
  • How about some gardening tools,gloves packets of seeds etc
  • I have a very imaginative friend who always gives a different hamper/basket every year , so far I have had chocolate/gardening/veg growing/'THE MOVIES',and last but not least chicken keeping!?!?

    Hope these help!!!!!!;)
