April 9, 2010, Newsletter Issue #316: Beer Baskets As Groomsmen Gifts

Tip of the Week

Fruit baskets are neat, but they’re probably not what your groomsmen are looking for. So why not turn the idea of a fruit basket into beer baskets? What better groomsmen gifts than that? By the time you’re finished, the gift will look nothing like a fruit basket at all. Instead of using last year’s Easter basket to fill, use something like a garbage pail (maybe a racing car themed garbage pail, or something like that). You can stuff a lot of beer in a garbage pail, so unless you want to spend a lot of money on your groomsmen gifts, start popping mounds of popcorn to fill in the spaces. Here’s an idea of stuff you can put in the “beer basket”:

Beer – duh! If you know what each guy likes, aim to put a six-pack of bottles or cans of their favorite brew into the pail. You could also mix two or three different brands together. Potato Chips. You gotta have chips with beer! A rubber chicken. Why not? Stick a TV Guide or a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition into the pail. Beer nuts. Peanuts – unshelled and loose. Just throw a couple handfuls into the pail. Fake food (think things like rubber pizza slices – you can buy them in the kids’ toys section) Stick a couple of coupons for free pizza, free movie rentals, or anything along those lines into the pail. A can of beans and a manual can opener If you want these guys to be friends forever, don’t forget their dogs (if they have any). You might want to toss a couple of dog bones into the “beer basket” as well.

The best unique groomsmen gifts are ones they can actually use. The best thing about a beer basket is that it can be tailor made to suit your groomsmen’s personalities.
