We’re also going to give you a brief guide on how to do it best. We hope the suggestions and recommendations below help you. These also make a great adult Easter basket, birthday surprise, retirement gift, or “just because” present.
Making a Whiskey Gift Basket
No matter the occasion, we’ll get you packing that basket in the right way. With just six easy steps, it won’t be long before your whiskey fanatic is smiling.
1) Select the “basket”
You’re only
limited by your creativity here! You can go with the traditional basket if you
like. Think about other things, though. You might consider a half barrel, small
wooden bin, galvanized bucket, travel-size cooler, or colorful/themed bowl.
Choose something that fits your dad and his personality.

2) Include the booze
Load up on bottles and samples.
Don’t you dare
think about a whiskey gift basket that doesn’t contain at least one bottle of
the good stuff. Samples are sweet, too! If you’re wondering about some special
options, check out our Best Value Bourbon and Best Sipping Whiskey articles. You’ll make his Father’s Day legit
with any of these picks.

3) Sneak in a snack
Thank you, Sugar Spun Run for this delicious gift idea!
Sure, whiskey
dads love their whiskey. But they have to eat, too. First, think about your
papa bear and his tastes. Some good ideas are nuts, cheeses, chocolates,
brittles, chips, pretzels, popcorn, dried fruits, gourmet bread, crackers,
etc. Wait, did you say homemade treats?
That’s perfect. Yes. Next level.

4) Give them all the bells. And maybe even a whistle
If you’re giving this, you’re officially the best gift-giver!
What do we mean by bells and whistles? The classy extras. The unforgettable showstoppers. The central focus and frills to match. We’re thinking decanters, whiskey glasses, personalized coasters, and more. Check out the Prestige online store now!
5) Add the filler first
Packing paper is a great, sturdy option!
Before you load
the basket, add your filler. You might opt for tissue paper or crinkle shreds.
But you might also consider silk greenery for an outdoorsy feel or battery
powered lights between the contents for some tipsy twinkle and glow. The idea
for some of the filler is to prop the gifts up in the basket so that they can
be seen.
Pro tip: Line the bottom of your whiskey gift basket with plastic bags or even packing paper. Roughly ball this up. Stack it if the basket is deep. Then cover that thick, foundational layer with colored paper, shreds, or whatever you choose.
6) Wrap it. Or don’t
The bow is the cherry on top.
You can wrap the gift basket in cellophane. It’s a nice touch to help keep everything in place. Or you might opt to deliver it uncovered for a more rustic/old-school feel. You can also use sheer fabric, colorful mesh, or even a fishing net to pull everything together. Be creative! A gift bow adds a finishing element to the entire package. Signed, sealed, delivered!
