Buffalo Basket
Looking to make a Buffalo NY themed Gift Basket this holiday season?
We have some great ideas to make a Buffalo Food Basket or a Buffalo Sports Lover Basket? We hope you are inspired by our ideas below!
There are so many options to choose from when it comes to Buffalo themed baskets. A buffalo food themed basket always works well for a house warming gift or a hostess gift. A Buffalo Bills Mafia or Buffalo Sabres themed gift basket is a perfect gift for the sports lover.
All of the items showcased in this article are available individually on Amazon for those of you who are far away and missing home. If you are local to the Buffalo area and want to make your own DIY Buffalo Basket, then you can utilize our Instacart Shopping Lists to have all of your items delivered to your door in a few hours!
The key to making a great themed basket is not only what you put inside the basket, but how you present the basket. If you are doing a Buffalo Food Basket, it's likely going to get heavy. It wouldn't be a Buffalo Gift Basket without Chiavetta's marinade, Webers Horseradish mustard, Duff's wing sauce, and Chef's pasta sauce! That's probably 5 points of items right there.
Buffalo themed gift baskets are great for friends that have moved away and are missing their home town goodies. They are also great for children that have gone off to college, house warming gifts and holiday gifts.
When making a food basket I always recommend using a large sturdy basket like these ones also from Amazon. The size of the basket is going to depend on what you are filling your basket with. Target and Walmart also have great sturdy wicker baskets to choose from as well. This basket on Amazon is big and tough… perfect for a heavy Buffalo Basket filled with all our delicious home town favorite sauces and marinades.
I usually pack the items into the basket with tissue paper or shredded Kringle paper in between the items so they don't bang together. If you have a few different glass bottles of sauces like the Red Oiser Beef Au Jus, the Teds Hot Chili Sauce and the Anchor Bar Original Wing Sauce you won't want them klanking together and breaking. I arrange the items with the tallest items in the back of the basket and the smallest up in the front of the basket, so the recipient can see as many of the items as possible before unwrapping!

If your building a Buffalo Sports themed basket, it will probably be a little lighter so you can go with a smaller and less sturdy basket. These baskets on Amazon are super cute and they match our Buffalo home town colors perfectly. I love this insulated buffalo bills picnic basket to pack your buffalo food basket gift items in too!
Fill these baskets with all your sports lovers favorites like a Buffalo Travel Mug, some buffalo socks, a Buffalo coffee mug, a bills or sabres koozie, a Bills Winter Hat, a Sabres Baseball Hat, a buffalo bottle opener, Bills Grilling tools an more! The ideas are endless, but I've included some items that I have used in baskets before below.
I hope you get inspired to fill your sports lovers Buffalo Basket with some of the items below:

Baskets for Other Occasions
I enjoy giving baskets as gifts. I like recieving baskets as gifts as well. My husband and I had a destination wedding many years ago and I made beach themed Baskets for all of my bridesmaids. I loved the idea of a beach gift basket as a gift, and it came in handy with all the things needed for a day at the beach. If you’re thinking of making a beach gift basket, I hope my Beach Gift Basket Ideas article can help you with some ideas of what to put inside. I especially like packaging all of your gifts in a monogrammed Beach Bag to tie the whole “basket” together!
