It's a fun idea, I think. But it would be pretty unusual and scary to run into him in the evening or at night on your porch. I used to give my dad a gift like that, but I decided to add a little personality. I ordered a pre-made gift from Jet Gift Baskets | Best Gift Baskets You Can Find Online, since he likes different sets and baskets with lots of gifts. But he accidentally saw the messenger as a gangster, thought he was stealing his package of gifts and called the police. The security camera showed how scared everyone was except his father lol... we had a good laugh at the time
