person or type of function you are attending. Most gift baskets
include consumable products (ie. bath or body products, yummy
treats, food products). In fact the possibilities are endless for
what you can put in a gift basket!
When creating a gift basket start with a theme and create the
basket towards your recipient's interests. Find out what they
like and then build the basket around that theme.
There are so many different types of themes you can start with
including baby gift basket, Christmas gift basket, mothers day
gift basket, fathers day gift basket, dog lover gift basket, cat
lover gift basket, golf gift basket, tennis gift basket,
housewarming gift basket, lovers gift basket? the list is
endless.
Your basket doesn't have to be expensive; in fact using lots
of small gifts make it more fun for the recipient. You can also
have lots of fun using different types of baskets. Recycle old
items and use them as the basket. When filling your basket use
books, CD's, bath or body products, stuffed animals, toys,
notepaper and pens, figurines, and lots of yummy gourmet treats
like, pate and crackers, chocolates, cookies, pretzels and
popcorn. The gift recipient will love discovering all of the fun
presents tucked inside their unique gift basket!
