Ever given your family or friends a beautiful gift basket? Gift baskets are such a wonderful gift and can be given for any occasion. However, if you are like me you don’t have a clue where to start, let alone how to put one together….. and the thought of creating a gift basket is the last thing on your mind? Then read on.....
To begin lets start with your “basket”. When you hear gift basket the first thing that pops into your mind is a typical wicker basket. Well things have changed; you can use anything as your “gift basket”. Once you decide who you are creating this gift basket for then decide on the type of basket which would be appropriate for that person. For instance if it is a teenager try a makeup bag or a plastic bucket for a gardener or a beach bucket for a child, try a laundry basket, a small plastic container or even a pretty purse, depending on the occasion and who it’s for (you are only limited by your imagination for the type of “basket” you choose).
Next, find your fillers. The fillers don’t have to be expensive but ensure that they match the type of gift basket you are creating. Make sure that what you buy will fit inside your basket. The secret to the presentation of your gift baskets are to make sure it looks like it is overflowing. The type of fillers you use will depend upon the theme of your basket and again, who you are creating it for.
Now for the fun part – decorating! Start arranging your items into the basket. Make sure to put the bigger, taller or larger items to the back and the smaller items in the front. You can use shredded paper or any other “stuffing” to prop things up or fill in the holes if you need to. I like to cover the gift basket in cellophane and then type of personalized card.
Finished …… how easy was that!
