The process of putting together a perfect gift basket is more than simply putting a couple of items into a container. Today, I’m going to share some great tips that will aid you in creating a gorgeous basket, and more than 50 themes to help you get inspired.

Ideas for Creating the foundation for a Great Gift Basket

1. If you can, plan ahead. If you are aware of the design for your basket, start shopping early and be on the lookout for bargains. Do you have the option of shopping after an event when you can find items reduced? Take a look at items on sale and take advantage of coupons when you can.

2. Consider thinking outside the box. There are a variety of containers that you can choose to make your gift baskets You don’t have to settle for a standard basket. Consider fun containers, such as colanders, bowls, and skillets that are suitable to use for cooking, food, or baking themed. Baskets for washing or cleaning are perfect for college students or new homeowners. Consider toy wagons or carts to give gifts to your children. Large glass jars that have lids are also fun to use when being used to store small items. Vintage crates and other items that are used for decorating homes are also interesting containers.

Go around the shop and play with your ideas. Consider the weight of the items you intend to put into the basket. Also, consider whether the base of the container is large enough to hold the weight.

3. Create a base. If you’re making an attractive gift basket The items will look better when placed on top of the basket, as opposed to lying low inside the basket. There are several methods to accomplish this. If your container isn’t very deep bubble wrap newspaper, tissue paper, and basket filler will work well.

If you’re using a bigger container then you could also consider using boxes to add height.

4. Pick a selection of things that vary in texture and size. Bring interest to your gift basket with a variety of textures, colors, and sizes.

5. The taller items should be placed on the rear. Make sure that all your items have the chance to be noticed by putting the smaller items in front, and taller ones in the rear.

6. Make sure your belongings are secured. Use glue dots, skewers, straws, even straws can help keep your flimsy objects at their proper places.

7. Place something in these glass containers, such as mugs or other beverage containers. Tara recommends adding a small basket filler or another object inside the glass to be included in your gift to give it more depth.

8. If you’re planning to wrap . . . Some gift baskets do not require wrapping. If you want to add some flair and make it look more elegant, wrap the basket in cellophane and tie it off with an attractive bow. As you tie off the cellophane use pipe cleaners or ribbons and then give it an effort to pull it in place.

Tulle can be another choice to wrap your basket to secure your basket to keep it in the basket. With tulle, you have numerous colors to choose from and it’s also fairly affordable.
