I am one of the big fans of gift baskets. They look cute and simple to make. There are two decisions to make when you pick a gift basket; you have got to choose:
- THEME
You should start by selecting a theme for the gift. It should be chosen according to the taste and age of the person receiving the gift. I’ll show you some examples to get the idea in the following paragraphs.
- COLOR
It could be red, pink and green for Christmas. It would be great to have a color palette to help you to select the gift basket.
Gather your supplies. You can also hit the dollar store for some cute shopping. If you can’t afford to buy the gifts, make some handmade ones at home.
First of all, you should pick the basket bags you need to place the stuff inside of them. Next, fill the basket with the things you brought from the store or made at home.
There is some basic stuff you might need for most of the basket gifts. You should bring some things to prepare the basket and put the presents inside each one, such as:
- Hot Chocolate
- Ribbon
- Fillers
- Bamboo sticks
- Hot glue gun
- Blockbuster gift card or movie or even a Netflix gift certificate or whatever you want!
But after all, it’s your gift to decide whatever you want to place inside and according to every person’s needs in Christmas. Now, I am showing you some themes and different ideas for making a gift basket:
