Having trouble deciding what to get for that buddy of yours and running out of time? Many people out there have trouble picking gifts. There are few things more dreaded than not being able to locate a present soon enough for that special day or big event. Fear not, we have a solution for you. We have searched high and low to discern what may be the most universal gift of all.
Beer baskets are the near perfect item for anyone on your list. Other than an AA meeting or a baptism, you can send one of these babies to any gathering and someone will enjoy it. Oh, and guys? Probably no good for your wedding anniversary. On the other hand, ladies would be well advised to get these for their men, who in general would be ecstatic to receive such a perfect bundle. If you can wrap the beer basket in with a 56″ Flat Screen Plasma, all the better.
Birthdays? Great Match. Even if the one who is having a birthday is underage, doesn’t like beer (weirdo!) or is on some medication that counter-indicates alcohol consumption, a beer gift basket will still come in handy. Little Bobby might only have 5 candles on his cake, but his Daddy might love a Blue Beaver Beer at 5:00 in the afternoon. Depending on how many of the little weasels are at the party, there may be more than one adult there in need of a brew. You yourself might quaff several beer while enjoying the ‘company’ of other people’s toddlers. And what a great way to liven up Stanly’s 65th birthday; maybe he will tear things up a little!
Wedding gift openings could really use a beer basket to tune things up a little. After opening presents with towels, toasters, soap dishes, pillows, fancy eatin’ dishes, blenders and what have you, the groom needs to see something that is mainly for him. Let’s face it, he’s just sitting there suffering quietly through the bride’s gift opening. None of that stuff is for him, so imagine how much he will appreciate your thoughtful Blue Beaver Beer Gift Basket.
Funerals. A lot of family members really want a drink at times like these. Tact is needed to determine if a beer gift basket is appropriate for a particular individual or family. A grieving young widow who is left with no father for her young children is a bad match. But if you are going to the wake of Uncle Frank, who was known to hoist a few in his time with his pals, you might be able to get away with it. These bereavement beer baskets might be quite popular if they also contained some stronger spirits as well.
And lets not forget Christmas! Not getting along so well with the inlaws? Get them a gift packed with the goodness of beer and see if they warm to you a little. Hopefully they won’t decide you are completely beyond redemption (you wastrel!).
One of these baskets might contain more than one variety of beer or just a specific brand. They usually also contain delicacies such as gourmet crackers, beef jerky, salted peanuts or mixed gourmet nuts, samples of gourmet cheeses, dried rhinoceros pizzle and other unique snack items. Some baskets come in a beer bucket, a galvanized or stainless steel bucket big enough to hold twelve beer. These reusable containers might serve as a cooler for years after.
So next time you are stuck for a gift, order up a beer gift basket. Even if the intended receiver is unhappy with it, a re-gift will certainly work out. The very best of these of course contain Blue Beaver Beer, although if necessary you can just put any old beer in there to match the recipient’s tastes. Please think before hand to decide if the gift will be welcome. Your ninety year old Aunt Florence might like a warm pair of slippers instead. Or, she might surprise you and ask for another personalized gift basket next year!
i think the idea its very creative..

I presented almost the same gift to my brother as I know he’s got a lot of friends. I do not know a better gift for bunch of guys who want to chill and have a nice night stand.
I brought a beer gift basket to a party and let me tell you everyone was amazed of all the unique beer items you receive in one of these basket and for a reasonable price,so I really can relate to your article! Bottoms-Up!
Beer gift baskets are great. I also sell them on my website. And i also sell REDNECK Gift Baskets – they are a riot, especially the “possum skillet basket” might go nice at the Redneck Bar. Check out http://www.sunshinebaskets.org
I think many wives will appreciate this gift idea!
Beer!!! I had a really good pint of Guiness last night…send me some of that electronically right now please!
Ha…what a neat idea. I’m sure there’s plenty of people who would love this simple gift! =D
That is actually a very cool idea, my brother would love that gift basket. lol
LOL, my brother would absolutely love this. He isn’t a big fan of gift baskets, but I think he would find this one delightful.
i want one and i want one now

I might consider giving beer baskets as a closing gift at real estate closings.
Yeah, I don’t know if a recovered alcoholic would enjoy a beer gift basket, lol. Though really any gift basket of tasty beverages & accompanying snacks would be nice too – I love Starbucks
I used to always struggle to find a gift that someone would really appreciate. You have ended my problem.
Beer Gift Basket for every occasion. What a great idea.
I thought of every kind of basket but some how never thought of this one. It is a Great gift idea! Someone will definitely be getting a beer basket from me this holiday
this is a great gift idea, especially to those people who loves to drink beer.
ill get one of these and give to my mom,
The beer basket and 52 inch screen sounds good but i would settle for less. Maybe a 42 inch screen and 2 beer baskets would be the way to go. I wonder if they have a subscription that sends a basket every week now that would be a great gift for any man.
Yah true in a sense but gr8 gift if one is a drunker…

Why do I always get lame gift baskets! I want a beer one ><
LOLS! What if the occasion is celebrating someone’s 2nd year anniversary of being sober? I don’t think that beer would be an appropriate gift in that situation ^_^
Hah, that is awesome. I wish i got a beer basket for my bday!
Wow this combines my two favorite things in life: gifts and bear.
Tim, I’m interested in getting one. I’m also a beer drinker and I love to party. I want to give a present to my friend who is celebrating his birthday in december.
Your suggestion to give a beer basket as a wedding gift really hit home for me. Almost all our gifts were foofy stuff for around the house. After 4 AM wakeup, no transportation arranged for the catered food, a DJ that didn’t show up, and my new bride collapsing from physical exhaustion right after the reception (this is all true), I could have used a few beers.
Who would have thought, beer gift baskets lol. awesome idea
What a great gift. Let’s be honest though, anything that has to do with beer would be a great gift for a guy! You could put a six pack in to a brown paper grocery bag with a bow on it! It could be called a beer paper bag! In fact, I think I just found my next business venture. Is beerpaperbag.com available as a domain? Just kidding. Keep up with the great site.
This is not a common gift basket idea. Will definitely give one out this season.
What a great idea. We are constantly looking for new marketing ideas for our restaurant clients. thanks for the post.

I am not a beer drinker BUT I do love a beer on a hot summer day or when my husband has one during one of the endless football games. True a beer basket may not always be appropriate but even if the recipient doesn’t love beer his guests almost always will. Now I would love a wine basket but they already have those with those great boxes o wine.
That is a great idea! If I got beer basket this Christmas instead of some socks or something I would be as happy as Larry! It’s like sending a flower basket, but for guys

Is there such a thing as a vodka gift basket? Now you’re talkin’!
I’ve order a beer gift baskets before and the items you receive in these basket are amazing, for the big beer collector like myself, when ask what I would like for my birthday the answer is always the same “a beer basket”. “Bottoms up”
Tom @ gift basket´s last blog ..Why Should we give Gift Basket as Presents?
I think I better give this item as gift to my father.Nice idea here.
Very nice site updates by the way. I think that beer gift baskets are great gifts. Not enough companies make them either.
Great Idea. I never thought of or about giving a beer basket as a gift, but now that I’m aware of the killer reasons to give one, I’m going to seek out some rare ales for my buds.
We’re huge abbey ale lovers.
Cheers Mate!

Beer gift baskets … what a GREAT idea! And your suggestions for what to include Blue Beaver Gift Baskets is spot on with not only different types of beer, but also snack items and containers. You might want to consider adding beer tap handles to your list of suggestions for beer gift baskets.
Just my 2 cents . . .

I received this as a gift from one of the friends,I think it is a cool idea, you dont have to think hard to present someone with a gift, everyone will love this
It’s true a beer basket would make a great present. I can’t actually imagine a man not being happy with it! Especially if he is expecting something quite bland like a pair of socks
orginal too! I even think it might make a good Valentine present for a guy, among other presents perhaps. Because if a girl gets her man a beer basket as a present it just shows that she is really thinking about what he would honestly like.

I think it’s all about the gesture,not the gift. A simple happy birthday will do the job
Actually, as a guy, I would say I like the gesture but i also like the beer! A beer gift basket would go awesome with a good pair of shoes or perhaps some sports garb. Thanks for the gift idea.
