Quick and Easy Gift Basket Ideas

Gift Baskets are a quick and easy way to show someone you care. People love to open them and see all of what is inside. But should you buy them the standard basket of fruit or do something more? I say do something more! Make your own gift basket full of things you know they love. Here's a few great ideas for quick and easy gift baskets you can make yourself!

Spa Basket/Bath Basket

Start out with a basket lined with fabric. Then add to it body lotion, bath soaps, bubble bath, foot scrub, and bath sea salts. Wrap it in a clear cellophane bag and tie with a ribbon! Or purchase a pre made bath gift set that comes already in a basket or nice container.

Wine Basket

Start with a nice wire and rattan basket, then fill it with their favorite bottle of wine, some hard cheeses, grapes and wine glasses. Wrap it in a clear cellophane bag and tie with a ribbon!

For the Chef (or someone who just loves to cook)

Get any size basket and fill it with kitchen utensils, such as cutlery, wooden spoons, spatulas, etc. Wrap it in a clear cellophane bag and tie with a ribbon!

Pizza Basket

Find a large round basket and put inside all the makings of home made pizza! Include, a pizza stone, a wooden rolling pin, a stick of pepperoni, a can of mushrooms (and any other topping they might like) and a box of make your own pizza (you can find these next to the bisquick in your grocery store).

Candy Basket

This one's simple! Set it up just like the Easter Bunny would. Start out with a basket with a handle and add paper "grass" and then all the candies you know the recipient loves!

Movie Night Basket

Start out with a medium sized basket and add a couple of packages of microwave popcorn, napkins, and a new release movie you know they have been wanting to watch. Wrap it in a clear cellophane bag and tie with a ribbon!

Candle Basket

Simply fill a basket with different sized candles in a variety of coordinating scents, such as Apple Cinnamon, Orange, Vanilla or Spice. Wrap it in a clear cellophane bag and tie with a ribbon!

Holiday Basket

What is their favorite holiday? Fill a basket with little decorations for that day, they are sure to fall in love with each one! Wrap it in a clear cellophane bag and tie with a ribbon!

These ideas are sure to get your mind rolling. Just remember, you can pretty much make anything into a gift basket if it's small enough!
