Whether you are trying to come up with a great gift idea for dad for Father’s Day or other holiday or special occasion, learning how to make your own poker gift basket is the perfect idea. Poker is one of men’s favorite games. It is competitive, enjoyable and you can play it for money and have a chance of winning some extra cash. Most men enjoy playing poker and a poker gift basket would be a gift they would love.

You do not have to worry about going out and finding one because you can make it all on your own. This is very easy to do.

• Start by gathering all the items to include in the gift basket. Poker chips, a poker table cover, playing cards and chips are all fantastic ideas. Anything that has to do with poker will work. If you are really eager and have some extra money to spare you could get them a gift certificate for a poker store nearby or even tickets to a professional poker game.
• You also need to get a basket to hold all of these items. Besides that, you need some cellophane with ties to hold it together.
• Place all of the cards, poker chips and other items nicely in the basket. They will be able to see through the wrapping so you want everything to be set up properly rather than just tossing them in a pile. Appearance is everything and it will show that you put a lot of time and thought into their present. Once everything is ready, you can pull a large piece of cellophane down over the top of the basket.
• 
• Make sure it covers the top of the basket with some to spare so you can tape the ends of the cellophane to the underside of the basket. You want the ends to meet up underneath the basket so the entire top part looks nice and neat. Use the ties around the side of the basket to ensure a sturdy hold. You do not want the cellophane cover flying off.
• After this, it is just a matter of decorating the poker gift basket as you want to. Men are not too fussy about bows and ribbons so you can keep it pretty basic.

A poker gift basket is the perfect idea for any occasion for your father, brother, best friend or son. Because you spent time and made the gift yourself, it will show that it came from the heart and show how much you care.
