Surprise Dad with some great gifts that you make yourself, right in your own kitchen. Start with a fun container, then stuff it with some favorite treats and small gifts. Sure, you could spend more for a Father's Day gift, but it wouldn't have more heart?

You could use a basket for the container, and if your Dad particularly likes wicker, you probably should. Otherwise, why not get creative and choose a unique container to better fit your Dad's personality. Some possibilities include:

Once you've decided on a container, fill it with some of Dad's favorite treats, or stick with a theme. For instance, if your Dad loves to barbecue, you might fill a galvanized bucket with some barbecue utensils, add a bag of mesquite wood chips and decorative jars and bottles of spice blends, meat rubs and home made mustards and vinegars (see links in the related recipes section below).

We've gathered lots of Father Friendly Gift Basket Filler recipes. Mix, match, and package in decorative containers and jars to make the perfect gift basket for your favorite father (or father figure).  Access all the recipes from the related recipes tab below.
