Add something entertaining like DVDs of his favorite movies or television shows. Find a "director's cut" of a movie or track down a rare compact disc from his favorite band. Include an assortment of his favorite snacks like nuts, popcorn, chocolate-covered pretzels and wine or beer that he can enjoy while watching or listening.

Increase the value of the basket if you'd like to spend more by including a few gift cards to his favorite restaurants, movie theaters and shops. Organize a day where you can go shopping, see a movie and then head to dinner to spend time together.

Find a basket that will easily hold the assortment of gifts. Choose one that he can later use to hold items from his pockets like keys, change and a cell phone or that he can keep on his desk to house pencils, a stapler and frequently used supplies. Wrap the package with cellophane and tie with a piece of jute.
