Question:

need to make a basket of different beers for my husband for christmas.any ideas on some cool beers to include?

when it comes to all the beers out there i just wouldn’t know where to start. but im getting him a home bar and id like to be able to stock it (for now) with about three really nice (cheap) wines, and a six pack of different beers he’d like to try. i’d also like recommendations on the the wine. i don’t care about the differences between ales and lagers or pinots or anything. we really have no preference.
and he’ll drink anything.

thx for the heads up with the book, looks perfect. Wondering where you are getting the baskets from. I was gonna just do gift bags but baskets always look nicer.

I am going through the same thing. Here are some ideas and thoughts;

not sure about a book, but maybe a GC so they can get what they want and do not have, I suggest amazon, just ck rating of vendor
something homemade like sugar cinniman toasted nuts (allrecipies.com) or cookies, fruit bread or a nice trail mix you put together with things like dried fruit, chex mix, granola, chocolate chips, and nuts
chocolate covered or plain nuts
little mini bottles of bailys or such
homemade eggnog
creams and oils trial size, you don’t have to buy the expensive stuff just good stuff, my favorite is gold bond hand lotion and nutrigena seseame seed oil, bath beads, you can even make bath salts by buying sea salt and adding oil and then fragrence oil
a small framed photo of the two of you at a special occation

Mom- I would start with some of the mags you can pick up, I think the NYT puts out their own version. Not sure what type of books your mom likes, but there is a book club I think for the 100 most important books ever written. Or just sign her up for a book club. My favorite author is Hemingway…LOVE “A movable feast”!!!! but there are also books of his shorter stories. Again hit Amazon.
I would try to do the photo thing again, her favorite wine or liquer, and maybe something she keeps with her allot like a keychain inscribed or a charm bracelet. You could wrap a bow on her basket with a scarf. Oh and of course the usual, perfume, lotion and bath stuff and GC for a massage or nail treatment.
Dad… he is always the hardest. Love the Legacy book idea for both he and your mom… PLEASE TELL US WHERE U FIND THESE, I did a search and nada. A book or dvd of movie trivia might be fun. Favorite foods like jams, olives, etc, aftershave, a GC for an old time professional shave and cut/shoeshine if they have a place like that there.

I hope this helps, I know it’s weighing on me as we are doing xmas over tday so I have to get on the ball. If you would please post on your ? where I can find those books I would really appreciate it.
