2. If he likes sports, place a few sports-themed items in his basket.

Assembling the Holiday Romance Movie-Themed Gift Basket

1. Place the excelsior inside the gift basket. Place the movies in the back of the basket, then place the candles in front of the movies. Place other gift items throughout the gift basket. Make sure there are no bare areas, and the basket looks full. If there are items that won't stay in place, put a little tape across the gift to help hold it in place.

2. Roll out the cellophane. Place the gift basket centered on the piece of cellophane. Gather all ends of the cellophane to the top of the basket. Secure ends with a rubber band. Trim ends so that they are even, then spread the cellophane ends out for a nice presentation.

3. Tape the sides of the basket closed with tape.

4. Tie decorative ribbon around the section of cellophane that was gathered at the top of the basket. Tie the ribbon into a bow, then trim ends.

5. Tie and curl several pieces of curling ribbon around the gathered cellophane and bow.

6. To add a personal touch to the basket, hang a picture of the two of you on the front of the romance movie-themed holiday gift basket.
