Christmas Basket Ideas
While a Christmas gift basket must contain tasty things, you should also be creative about packing the basket. The basket or platter in which you arrange things should be pretty and decorated well. It will be best if you can have a theme for the basket and select the contents and containers to suit it.
Movie Night
Movie buffs will love a movie-themed gift basket. The basket in this case can be substituted by a big popcorn bucket or bowl that is common in theaters. You can fill it with packets of candies and popcorn and nachos and gems, the snacks that are always available in movie theaters. To complete the movie theme, add to it DVDs of some of the latest movies and a couple of old movies that you know that your friend loves. You can also add one or more gift movie tickets to complete the platter.
Baker Gift basket
If you are good at baking, you can bake a large pie base into the shape of a tray or bowl and use it as the basket for arranging baker-themed goodies. Fill it with small pies, rolls, or pastries that you have baked yourself. Remember to wrap the tray made of pie base with a foil to ensure that it remains clean and edible. If the gift is to a young family which may not have the full baking paraphernalia at home, you can fill the bake-themed basket with a measuring cup, rolling pin, pastry blender, pie crust shields, pastry molds, whisk, apron, cookie jar and an array of baking related things.
Sports Gift Basket
Christmas gift basket to a golf lover can have tees, golf towels, ball markers, golf balls, sunglasses, visor, and bottles of sunscreen in it. Golf themed baskets are available in shops, and you can use one of these as the base to arrange the golf-related stuff. Or you can use a golf bag in the shape of a cooler, or a golf ball bucket, or a golf gear case. Some extra things that can go into a golf gift basket are score counter, pouch for storing valuables inside the golf bag, and golf jewelry. Shops offer different types of golf jewelry for men and women, or you can add in the basket golf-themed ornaments for the Christmas tree.
Another suggestion is a book on golf or a fictional work written with golf as the main background. Like that you can innovate for baseball or football or whichever is the recipient’s favorite game.
