It's that time of year again.  Can you smell the barbecue in the air?

We carry a variety of Gift Baskets that have the grilling pastime in mind.  Marinades, Barbecue sauces and gourmet mustard's complement the variety of snacks we pack in each basket.

Grilling Snack Baskets make great gifts for Father's Day, Independence Day, or any other summer event.

Our Jim & Jack's Grillin' Gift Basket features two true classics.  Jim Beam and Jack Daniels have lent their flavors to an assortment of sauces and marinades to make your next grilling adventure memorable! We have filled our red gloss basket with Jack Daniels BBQ sauce, marinade mix, horseradish sauce, sweet N hot mustard and gourmet coffee, along with Jim Beam medium salsa and beef jerky. Their friend Southern Comfort has joined the party with some gourmet coffee, along with Buffalo Bill's tortilla strips, pretzel rods, 3 pepper water crackers, smokey cheddar cheese, peanut butter-filled pretzel nuggets, chocolate fudge popcorn, Claey's old fashioned fudge, and chocolate chip cookies. We also sneak in a set of grillin hot pads.

There are plenty of get well gift baskets on the market, but if you have the time you could create a personalized basket just for them to cheer them up and make them smile.

Any kind of container will do for the basket. You could choose a small laundry basket or plastic bin.  Check the kids bedroom/storage area of a store like Target or Walmart for fun totes, baskets, etc.

First of all, let's think about food. There are plenty of healthy snacks that kids love like fruit snacks, crackers and granola bars.  Fresh fruit and drink pouches could also be included.  And if you really want to put a smile on their face, you could add their favorite candy!

Reading books and activity books make great gifts to put into the gift basket. A coloring book could keep them busy while they're stuck in bed.  Don't forget the crayons if you go for this option.

Playdoh and clay make great activities for a sick child, especially as they have the time to put some thought to it (and can get some help from you). Some masterpieces can be created, in this time of illness, to put in a place of honor for all to see.

There are plenty of children's movies on DVD that you include in the gift basket. Or maybe a tabletop game like chess, mini monopoly or scrabble that you can play with your child while they are ill.

Last, but not least, don't forget the cuddly plush animal - an essential friend in the recovery process!
