• Tools make a great theme for a guy's gift basket.tools image by Marek Kosmal from Fotolia.com
  
  If you're stuck for ideas on what to give the guy in your life, consider a guy-themed gift basket. By nature, a gift basket can include anything that you want to give. It's a smart way to buy several inexpensive gifts and turn them into a meaningful present. Tailor the contents of the basket to the recipient's individual tastes.
  
  

Action-Packed Movie Basket

• Start by choosing an action movie or two and add it to the basket. If he has a Blu-ray player, purchase the Blu-ray version. Then, include snacks to go along with the movie, such as popcorn and large boxes of candy. Include a 2-liter bottle of soda and you have a complete gift basket. For a creative presentation, use a large popcorn bowl or movie popcorn bucket insead of a basket.
  
  

Tool Basket

• For the guy that likes to fix things around the house--or the one that wants to, but doesn't have the necessary tools--a tool basket may be the right idea. Instead of using a basket, you can start with a tool box or a tool belt. Stock it with some of the basics, like a hammer or a drill. If he already has those types of tools, look for ones that are a bit more obscure, like a circuit tester or a stud finder.
  
  

Sports Fan Basket

• If the guy is a big sports fan, create a basket around his favorite team. Fill it with team logo apparel or food items if available. You could also include items that are great for tailgating, such as coolers and camping stoves. Top it off with tickets to one of the team's games.
  
  

Hobby Basket

• If your guy has a special hobby, then you can create a gift basket around that hobby. For example, you can create a fisherman's basket with bait and lures all stuck in a fishing pail. For a golfer, you could include personalized balls, a new club and a gift certificate for a round of golf.
  
  

Beer Basket

• If your guy enjoys trying new beers, create a basket that features a wide variety of beer. You can stick with themes for the beers--such as a selection of beers that are made in your area or including all amber ales. Tuck in a cool bottle opener, salty snacks and beer mugs or coasters to fill out the gift basket.
  
  

Techie Basket

• For a guy that always needs to have the latest and greatest gadgets, you can create a techie basket. Base this around a theme, such as accessories for his computer or digital camera. Include items such as a mouse pad, a gift card for music downloads or portable memory devices.
