Let's face it folks, guys aren't always easy to buy for... But if there's one thing I'm sure of, they do like to eat! May I suggest considering a great gift tower or basket of goodies this Father's Day from Gourmet Gift Baskets.com, they make the perfect gift whether your dad is local or across the country. I love the variety to choose from, everything from a breakfast in bed (k-cups included), to peanut butter cup popcorn for the dad with a sweet tooth, to fresh fruit and nuts. And yes, their generosity was the inspiration for this Fresh Fruit Salad with Vanilla Pudding Dressing. The pudding adds a little vanilla flavor and makes a sweet sauce that has some creamy body to it. Oh, and it's only two ingredients-gotta love that:@)
This gift box is called Farmer's Market and it was at my door in two days.
Everything was packaged securely, fresh, and sealed well.
It's a very nice mix with a little bit of everything...
Under the snack bags is a log of summer sausage, brick of cheddar cheese and some crackers.
And of course there are buckets of beer and munchies because,
you know, snacking isn't just for football season:@)
No need to worry about the correct size or color.
You don't need to know if he's still into last year's hobby...
Just pour a cuppa and scroll through Gourmet Gift Baskets for the perfect Father's Day gift.
I think you'll both be happy:@)
