Handmade Gift Baskets for Christmas
Making your own Christmas gift baskets not only give you the chance to make the recipient a great present, it really shows them just how much you care.
Christmas gift baskets are great presents as they allow you to give your friends and family members a nice gift that everyone can enjoy. The whole family can enjoy baskets of fruit, candy, and food among some of the selections of gift baskets available during the holiday season.
But what if you want to give someone a more personalized and customized gift? You could, for a little more money than what you would pay for a pre-made gift basket, give them a gourmet gift basket, one that you make yourself containing items that you know the recipient will enjoy.
Gourmet gift baskets
Gourmet gift baskets – and do not let the name make you automatically think of food – can be made from anything that will fit in a beautiful holiday basket. These baskets could consist of food, drink, movies, toys, and more. Use your imagination to put gourmet gift baskets together and you will see that the options are limitless in what you give as a present. From specialty coffees to a gift basket filled with movies, a gourmet gift basket can be a personalized treat for whoever will be receiving it.
Barbie gift baskets
When you first begin planning out your gourmet Christmas gift basket for a certain person, stop and think about what they like. Let’s use the example of preparing a gift basket for your little sister who has discovered the joy of Barbie dolls. You want to give more than just a Barbie doll and you decide to make a gourmet Christmas gift basket for her. You could buy one or two basic Barbie dolls at your local toy store or discount ‘dollar’ store and then purchase a variety of inexpensive Barbie accessories for her. Depending on the size of the basket, you could add a Barbie car – it can stand up on its end beneath the handle of the basket – and maybe a few other fun Barbie items. As you can see, the possibilities are limitless and you can still prepare a wonderful gift without blowing your entire budget.
Personalized gift baskets
You can do the same thing for just about every member of your family. Is there someone in the family that enjoys reading, say, Tom Clancy novels but hates waiting for them at the library? Make them a gourmet gift basket with a few novels, a gift card to the local bookstore, a book mark, and a book light. Have a chocolate lover in the family? Make a basket filled with all types of chocolate, from flavored hot chocolate to gourmet sweets. Crafters? Fill the basket with the favorite craft pieces.
