Know When to Hold’Em, Know When to Fold’em…

Hold’em Poker has gone from an unpopular game played only by professional gamblers to one of the most popular casino ‘games’ available.  The attraction of the game is the amateur’s ability to outwit a professional. Bluffing is universal.  In sports, you generally can’t fake your way to the big leagues.  You have to hit homers, or thrown touchdowns or serve aces.  There are no amateurs winning superbowls or world series or grand slams. But in Hold’Em Poker’s ‘World Series of Poker’, there are rarely repeat winners and the final table is usually filled with no-name players. The top ‘recognized’ pros are usually absent from the final table, often knocked out in earlier rounds.

That’s the allure of Hold’Em Poker.  For the amateur with a dream to make it to the final table and announce, with a grin, that he or she is ALL-IN!  Help Dad enjoy his weekly poker game with our Royal Flush gift basket, enough snacks for even the biggest of appetites.  If Poker isn’t “Dad’s thing”, check out our other gifts for men.

Catch of the Day for Father’s Day…

G’Day Mate! I have certainly been feeling the East Coast spirit today! I have been creating Father’s Day designs and there was one design in particular that I had a lot of fun with: The Catch of the Day.

The basket is filled with Maritime-themed goodies, such as saltwater taffy, crab dip, clam chowder and a beautiful ceramic chowder bowl. Of course there are classic sweets as well, like caramel corn and fudge. Overall it is quite a festive design full of goodies that Dad will love, regardless of whether or not he has family ties to the East Coast!

Father’s day baskets are definitely one of the more enjoyable categories to design. Believe me, there are a lot of fun and interesting ideas rolling around in my head. You can be certain that there will be many golf gift baskets and barbecue gift baskets that will make your Father feel like he truly is the Best Dad on Earth!

Drop us a line and reel in The Catch of the Day!
