what to put in a gift basket for a guy?

My boyfriend is moving into his first apartment and I want to make him a gift basket of things he might want or need, any ideas?
--------------------
You have been given lots of great answers here. So I am going to give you a list of easy foods to put together when it is time to cook. How about printing it out and add it to the other items in your gift basket: New products make cooking easy now days. I have tried many of the following and they are delicious. . 1. Sealed packages of PRE-COOKED beef tips, roast, pot roast, pork roast, chicken, baked ham, pork chops, meatloaf, and etc. You will find these packages in the cold section, they are not frozen. Ask a clerk for help in finding them. Use this for your meat dish with a side dish or two of vegetables, rice, or potatoes which can all be found on shelves in packages or boxes, or in the freezer section, or canned. . You can now buy packaged rice that you pop into the microwave. OR bags of rice that you put into boiling water (package and all). The chicken flavor is delicious. Ask a clerk where to find them on the shelves. . Packages of dried REAL potatoes that you add milk, butter,water to; they are found on the shelves. Read directions. Delicious. . Gravies in jars. (always read directions) . 2. Supermarket deli's have roasted chickens, fried chickens, roast beef, and side dishes. You can stop in on the way home and grab a quick dinner to take home. No cooking. . 3. Crock Pot Cooking (also known as Slow Cooking). Put the food into the crock pot in the morning, set on low heat, and dinner will be ready in the evening. Go here for over 1,000 recipes for you: http://www.cooks.com/rec/search?q=crock+… (Crock Pots can be bought at grocery stores and department stores.) . Low es go to this website for easy recipes...a category is on the left hand side of the screen: http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1740,151… . 5. No need to "bake". There are many pies and cakes that are precooked. You can find them in the freezer section at your grocery store. Ask a clerk to help you find them. Be sure to read the directions before you buy. The stores bake shop has cakes and pie too. These are made daily and are not frozen. . 6. The frozen dinners are now delicious. You find these in the freezer section at the grocery store. Ask a clerk to help you find them.
