Instructions
Instead of putting the items in a regular basket, put the items in a giant picnic basket. The picnic basket will encourage the recipient to go out, have a fun picnic and enjoy the beautiful sunshine.
It’s almost impossible to not have fun during the summer when you have a water gun, so of course it should be added to the basket. Water guns come in bright colors, but are great for a sneak water attack on an unsuspecting friend. Plus they are great for cooling off during the hot weather.
A Frisbee is a great way to get some light exercise without it being so strenuous that you get too hot and sweaty and need to stop. A Frisbee is small and thin, so it can fit in many summer tote bags with ease.
Bubbles are fun to make no matter what age you are, they’re definitely not just for young kids. Add a small bottle of bubbles along with an interesting shaped bubble wand and it will create a good time for whomever get them.
Throw in some sidewalk chalk. Many adults miss the carefree days of coloring when they were little so they will definitely get a kick out of using it during the summer. Whether the recipient chooses to use it in the backyard, on their sidewalk or in their driveway it will bring back memories for adults and help kids create new memories.
A football is a great way to burn off some extra calories after a barbecue. Depending on the age of the recipient, you can either include a soft football for younger ages or a regular football for adults.
A radio with CD player is a great, inexpensive item to put in the summer fun gift basket. They are small enough to be portable and you can get most for $30 and under. It will be perfect for when the recipient is lounging outside with an ice cold drink or when they are swimming in a pool.
Instead of tying the gift basket wrap around the basket with a bow, tie it with a jump rope. It's great for adults or kids to exercise with and it will serve double duty by keeping the gift basket wrap closed.
