Here's a true story about how we came to be… Dad's birthday was just around the corner, and so the annual search for a gift was on. Mom never quite knew what to get for Dad, because like most guys his age, he was "the guy who had everything."

"Let's see", Mom said, "Dad is a huge Sports Fan, but he already has his favorite cap, and that old T-shirt that he just won't get rid of. I got him a golf towel last year….hmmm…oh, I give up!"

Mom was looking for something unique to get for Dad, but was truly stumped. So, she did what she always did when she needed advice on Dad-she asked their two sons what to do.

"Get Dad something cool that he can show his friends-you know how Dad loves to show his friends his stuff!", was the response from Jason, the older of the two boys.

"Well, he loves sports…..how about something he can put on his desk? Actually, he always talks about those cards that Grandma threw out when he was a kid-what about some new cards of the guys he watches on TV now?", said Matthew, the younger of the two, matter-of-factly.

So, Mom thought about it, and did just that! She picked up a BobbleHead for his desk, some photos and die-cast cars for Dad to show his friends, and a whole bunch of sports cards to replace the ones that Grandma threw out. She arranged them together in a gift basket, wrapped it up and was ready to give it to Dad. The only thing stopping her were the two kids, who upon seeing the gift basket, protested that they wanted it for themselves!

Well, after all that, Dad loved it so much, he gave her a Website that she set up to send these baskets to other Dads, kids, and all kinds of Sports Fans out there. Voila, www.sportsbasketsusa.com was born.
