Gift basket for a man: original ideas
A grocery basket is a gift that is appropriate in most cases. You can put toys, fruits, sweets, beer there - it all depends on who the gift is addressed to. Of course, a basket for a man is different in composition from that for a woman. And with a wide variety of groceries available in modern stores, you can put together a truly chic set for any occasion. What exactly can be put in the basket and how to arrange it correctly is described below.
Range
Most often, meat, cheese products and alcohol are put in men's sets. You can make separately sausage and meat, separately - cheese or mixed basket.
If you focus on meat products, then you must definitely take into account that its shelf life is often short (the exception is, perhaps, uncooked smoked sausage).
Therefore, you need to purchase all the necessary components on the eve or on the day of delivery. The same applies to cheese - although it has a longer shelf life, it is still short. To design a meat set, the following are suitable: carbonade, rings of Krakow sausage, hunting sausages, neck, brisket, uncooked smoked, semi-smoked, milk and doctor's sausage.
For a gourmet man, it would be appropriate to add two varieties of grapes and a couple of bottles of red wine with a rich taste to the cheese.
Strong alcohol will suit the sausage basket - high-quality vodka will complement the set.
Seafood is good for their lover, so if your donee is one of them, it would be right to include in the set different kinds of marine life - mussels, octopus, crab meat, shrimp.
It is better not to take frozen foods, there is a high probability of defrosting them.Although if the presentation is planned where it is possible to immediately place the freeze in the cold, it is quite possible to include them in the set.
Seafood is usually consumed with white wine, so an excellent solution would be to add a couple of bottles of an Italian or French drink to the set.
For a beer lover, it is even easier to assemble a basket - 6 bottles of beer (dark or light, depending on the preferences of the donee), chips, crackers, nuts, crackers, you can also throw the original bottle opener there, and if you have a friendship or friendship with the donee, put a flash drive with his favorite TV series.
If you need to make a gift to a person with a status, you can choose the following set: a bottle of good cognac aged for at least 5-7 years, a can of high-quality coffee, bitter or milk (or both) chocolate and a couple of fragrant lemons.
If the person smokes, you can add a couple of Cuban cigars to the basket.
A coffee lover friend can be presented with a basket made by hand: a couple of varieties of elite grain or ground coffee, a package of marshmallows, cream, cinnamon. You can also put a beautiful mug or a dozen originally designed paper cups there. And if he also has a sweet tooth, donuts, cinnabon buns or large curly gingerbread will come in handy.

Decorating
Does a men's food gift basket need to be decorated? A moot point, it's better not to be zealous with the decor. If the presentation is planned for the New Year, then the maximum that should be done is to wrap a little tinsel on the handle or put a few small Christmas balls in the basket. On February 23, a professional holiday or birthday, it is better to limit yourself to a greeting card inserted inside. The basket itself is a beautiful enough gift.
Many men do not like excessive design, consider it inappropriate in relation to themselves. Therefore, if you are not sure that the decor will be taken for granted, do not decorate the gift more than necessary.
How to present?
And now you have decided on the assortment and collected your basket. Now you need to present it correctly. On the one hand, it is a convenient gift because it is already packed. If you are handing the basket to a colleague, you can simply leave it on his desktop. As for the leader, the situation is more complicated. It is necessary to present the gift in person, preferably being sure that it will be received correctly.
On a birthday, a basket (like other presents) is handed over personally. Or if your presence is impossible for some reason, it is sent with a courier and an attached postcard.
On February 23, professional holidays, you also need to present gifts yourself, possibly accompanying the transfer with a small congratulatory speech.
