Christmas cards and ordinary gifts are passé; if you want to garner the attention of your friends, then you need to gift them with something unique. By 'unique', I don't mean a very expensive gift. You need to gift them something that very few people have even thought of!Can think of anything?
What about the Christmas gift baskets?
People love Christmas gift baskets because they contain a dozen gifts instead of one, even if the gifts are usually cheaper than the expensive gift. If you want to gift a Christmas basket to all of your loved ones, here is what you need to know about:
Things You Will Need:
There are not many things that you will need for making a Christmas basket. All you need is an empty basket, colored paper, ribbon, and the gift items. Now, you can get all these at your local discount store. When choosing a basket, make sure you look for the red or green baskets, as they are quite appealing to the eyes. If you don't find a basket to your liking, you can use an empty bowl as an alternative, as well as a colored paper. Next, you should purchase a pretty ribbon from the same discount store. Make sure the color of the ribbon matches that of the basket!
Visit Package Stores:
Next, it is time to shop for the main gift items. It is not as hard as you think, especially if you already know about something that the gift recipient loves or longs for! For example, if the gift recipient happens to be a cat lover, find out all the gifts, food items, crafts and cards that are especially themed on cats. If you do a little research, I am sure you will be able to come up with a dozen gift items. In my opinion, it is far easier to come up with several small gift ideas than a large and expensive one.
One more thing. You should make a list of all kinds of gift baskets you can/want to make. Then visit stores that sell products in bulk. For example, if you buy a dozen soaps or two dozens of candles, you would be able to finish the gift shopping within a short time. Also look for stores that sell bundled products.
Make That Basket:
You are almost done! Now all you need to do is to make the basket itself! Wrap the basket with the colored paper, put the gift items inside it and tie it with your pretty ribbon. That is all there to it!
One thing you should note is that if you are making more than one basket, it is not always easy to assemble all the items in order of theme. That is why I'd recommend you engage your children in making the Christmas gift baskets as well!
