The holidays are here! And that means it’s the season for gift getting and giving. But, it doesn’t mean you have to stick to gift cards and other usual, less-than-exciting. A unique gift is a gift basket, because it can hold multiple gifts in one! Best of all, there are baskets that cater to any need or want on your list.
Holiday Gift Basket
Since it is holiday time, a gift basket in the theme of the season is a simple match for most people. You can fill it up with both conventional and quirky gifts. A Santa hat with flashing lights can easily illuminate the other gifts in the bag, and double as an accessory for the person receiving it at the holiday get-together. Lights are quintessential this time of year, so you can add string lights to the basket, along with other festive accessories - like reindeer antler headbands, light up necklaces and themed socks. Teddies and balloons are also great options for younger gift-recipients, while adults can appreciate novelty decorative items like glitter reindeer and glass ornaments.
Candy Gift Basket
Whether it’s chocolate or fruitier fare, it’s hard to find someone who wouldn’t appreciate a basket of candy. Don’t limit candy bars to stocking stuffers: toss a couple in the basket to nibble on while unwrapping gifts. Fruit snacks and gluten free options can be sweet alternatives. Although you may have the basket filled with mostly sweet things, you can add in a few bags of the gift-getter’s favorite salty and savory snacks for more treats. For some hardier elements, add in meat and cheese snacks and healthy snack bars too. By mixing in these snacks, you’ll be set for the entire holiday season for snacking and indulging.
Baby Gift Basket
A baby gift basket can be a present to both the new member of the family and the parents! You can pack this basket with essentials that are festive and others than can be used year-round. New parents can hardly ever have too many bottles and bibs, plus picture frames for commemorating past and future moments. Teethers and rattlers are gifts that the baby can enjoy and parents can be at ease with them using.
Home Decor Gift Basket
Trinkets and decorations are great gifts to give for a relative moving into their own place, like a college student or newlyweds. It’s a diverse gift set that welcomes people into their new homes. A gift basket of kitchen essentials like spatulas, mugs, and plates are not only thoughtful, but useful gifts. You can even frame the specific theme of your own basket with a novelty sign or plaque.
Beauty and Health Gift Basket
Practical gifts often make the best presents, so why not give someone a basket of essentials? A teen girl or your best girl friend would enjoy a basket that includes beauty products for her hair and face, like hair clips, lip gloss a compact mirror and a manicure set. Combs and brushes also make useful gifts. For men and teens, trimmers and razors can keep them groomed and help them with any new looks they may want to try going into the New Year.
