Steps to making the perfect themed gift basket

[justina01]

1) Decide on the theme of your gift basket

Will your gift basket satisfy their sweet tooth or will it relate to personal hobbies?
There are endless themes you can choose from which all depend on who the recipient is (husband/wife, family member, co-worker etc.)
Some examples of themes may be fruit gift basket, wine gift basket, golf gift basket, movie gift basket, etc.)


2) Decide what size and type of gift basket you use

This is where your imagination can run wild as the possibilities for gift baskets containers are endless. Nowadays you can use anything as a gift basket whether it is the old tradition whicker basket or a golf bag, it is up to you.

Also depending on your budget you can decide how big or small you want your gift basket to be, for example if you’re on a smaller budget you would choose a smaller basket so that you can fill it easily with smaller less expensive items.

3) Decide on the variety of items you wish to include

Now you want to include a variety of different items which go along with the theme of your gift basket. For instance, if you are creating a golf themed basket you may want to include things such as golf balls, gloves, glasses, hand towel etc.

Depending on the size of the basket you chose you may also want to adjust what you put into it as well. A basket which is too cluttered or too empty may ruin the look of your masterpiece so try and find a balance.

4) To finish… wrap it up

Make sure to wrap the basket in cellophane paper and tie it up with a ribbon to give it a classy look. Inside the basket make sure you use shredded paper or some other material to offer some cushion in order to keep the items from damaging.

Lastly, if applicable tie a little card with the ribbon to add some more meaning to the gift. We’re certain your recipient will love what you’ve put together.

I went to a wedding shower once where I brought a "gift basket" that everyone was very impressed with. I used a large stainless stell mixing bowl as the "basket" and included kitchen utensils and gadgets, and I think a recipe. Looked really neat.
