Great Valentine Gift Baskets For Him

Looking for a unique Valentine's Day gift for your guy? A gift basket filled with great not so gourmet "guy" food is the perfect solution. Does he love fishing? Fill a tackle box with jars of salsa, chips, mixed nuts, some cheese and crackers, and watch him smile.
Does he love golf or his new truck, fixing things around the house or doing yard work? Custom design a gift basket using a golf ball bucket filled with his favorite treats and a box of his favorite golf balls. Fill a gallon bucket with car wash soap, wax, a sponge and drying cloth. Make sure you leave plenty of room for the "not so gourmet" treats he'll enjoy while washing and waxing the day away.
Creating a gift basket for your special guy is fun and easy. Don't have time? Check out the great selection of gift baskets for him at Laurel Mountain Basket Company including our "Hot Stuff" Gift Basket pictured above. This custom designed gift basket includes salsa and hot bar-b-que sauce, cheese, crackers, and other guy lovin' foods, more than lives up to it's name

Every Day is a Holiday!

In the gift basket business, we help people celebrate special occasions every day. Today we get to celebrate a special occasion in our own household. It's my husband's birthday. It's also the day in 1839 when baseball was born which is very appropriate since Vic is an avid baseball fan. Living in Massachusetts, he favors the Red Sox most of the time, but has enough enthusiasm for the game to spread around, especially during the playoffs and the World Series.

June 12th is also Magic Day, Machine Day and Crowded Nest Awareness Day. Being so involved with birthdays and baseball, we don't celebrate these other events too much.

I love holidays! I was born on Thanksgiving Day and for years I thought everyone got the day off from work and had a big party because it was my birthday. It's still one of my favorites. That's probably because we get to enjoy my sister's hospitality each year and I don't have to do any of the cooking. Bringing a fresh baked pie from one of the local farm shops and a bottle of wine is the extent of my contribution.

Sunday is Father's Day. I hope Vic is not expecting too much this year since the dogs and I have not had a chance to shop yet. The old saying about the shoemakers children not having shoes also applies to gift shop owners and their families not receiving gifts!

Have a happy June 12th! Celebrate your life!
