Is someone in your office workplace or someone close to you retiring in the near future and you are looking for ideas on what to get them? Try a health and fitness themed gift basket. There are hundreds of different variations of sneakers that can be made depending on budget, the person’s gender, general likes and dislikes, and where the person lives. Part of the gifts can be serious and the rest can be joke gifts. Here we will try to provide some different ideas for both men and women that can fit perfectly in a gift basket.
Gift Basket Themes
1. Basketball golf lovers
It may be a bit cliché, but the vast majority of retired men intend to play a lot of golf and a golf driving range gift certificate or golf course membership would fit perfectly in a gift basket. It can be a centerpiece of a golf-themed gift basket that could include golf gloves, tees, balls, shoes, and any other golf-related items you can think of. As a joke, you can get the Dwarf on Golf DVD or all the products used in the basket before handing over the actual basket.
2. Exercise or fitness theme
Lots of people say they want to exercise more but eight don’t have the time or don’t want to spend the money. If you think your retiree would be interested in a gym membership, you can center a gift basket around a gym gift card and eliminate those excuses. It can include weight lifting gloves, workout clothes, protein and nutrition bars, vitamins, headbands, and other gym supplies. Again, for fun, you can customize a t-shirt, a towel, a load of sports cream for all the aches and pains, make a fun workout tutorial, or anything else you can think of that’s fun.
If a gym membership isn’t ideal, but you think the person would want to exercise, you can still make a gift basket, but make it more geared towards exercises that can be done at home. Include some exercise videos (for example, P90X or Turbo Jam), exercise bands, aerobics gloves with weights, yoga mat, exercise clothes, different exercise drinks and food, small weights, roller skates, running shoes , etc. The combination of themes is truly endless. Again, for fun, you can include fun videos, exercises for the “never though at first” manual, a fun list of do’s and don’ts, and a fun list of motivational quotes.
3. Day Spa Theme
For the person who needs to relax and be taken care of, send them to a spa for a day so they can get that much-needed massage, acupuncture treatment, and aromatherapy. The basket can include soft nature music, candles, lotions and oils, massage tools, foot soaks, face creams, and anything else that goes with the theme. The mockery that can be created with this can get crude in a hurry, but having funny labels on lotions, creative titles for manuals, hair removal products, finger-jam cures, etc. Like I said, this one could get fun, so have fun with it.
4. Sports and recreational issues
Many people are fans of a specific sport, so you could make a soccer-themed gift basket that includes tickets to a game, or buy a racket for a tennis player. Where I live, people are crazy about the Ohio State Buckeyes, so buying a golf bag with Brutus the Buckeye on the side, or a football jersey with his name on the back would go a long way. For a laugh, buy something totally irrelevant to the sport, like a ping pong ball for a golfer or a football for a basketball fan. A great joke is to make a basket out of the products of a rival sports team, but keep it cheap because most of it will never see the light of day.
