Christmas gift basket traditions!
The great thing about a Christmas gift basket is that you can make them rather inexpensively and each and every one can be original. When you give someone a Christmas gift basket every year for Christmas, they are sure to be excited in anticipation of what it might contain this year!
Here are some great ideas for making your very own Christmas gift basket.
1. Bath and Body Christmas gift basket
A bath and body Christmas gift basket is a lovely gift for a woman or a teen girl. You can actually use a basket, or something else that is useful such as a pan, a piece of pottery, a cosmetic bag or even a dish pan. It’s always great if the “basket” a Christmas gift basket is made in is useful. You can fill the basket with bath crystals, body lotion, shower gel, bubble bath, sponges and such and it is sure to be a hit with women of all ages.
2. Fruit-filled Christmas gift basket
A Christmas gift basket filled with fresh fruit and nuts is a wonderful gift for an individual or a family. These are often used as corporate gifts for a boss and his or her family. A fruit-filled Christmas gift basket is easy to put together. You can use a fruit bowl, a bucket or a basket, fill it with fruit and unshelled nuts and decorate it with Christmas ribbons and bows.
3. Romantic Christmas gift basket
A Christmas gift basket for your sweetheart may be filled with wine, wine glasses, cheese, crackers and fruit for a nice, quiet get together. You may also fill the Christmas gift basket with romantic novelties like candles, massage lotion and such or even throw in some of your sweetheart’s favorite candy.
4. Christmas gift basket for kids
A Christmas gift basket can even be a great gift for kids. Much like an Easter basket, you may fill a kid’s Christmas gift basket with candy, fruit, toys and novelties. Collector cards are a going thing for boys and girls would love to find dainty costume jewelry, lip gloss and such in their Christmas gift basket.
Shopping Tip: When you are making a Christmas gift basket, look for stocking stuffers and you will find some great items for your Christmas gift basket that will give it a Christmas theme!
5. Handyman (or handywoman) Christmas gift basket
Tool buckets filled with hand tools or odds and ends like assorted screws, picture hangers, electric tape and other hardware or home repair supplies make great Christmas gift baskets for men and women.
6. Kitchen Christmas gift basket
A Christmas gift basket filled with kitchen accessories like utensils, a candle, lemon scented hand soap, pot holders and hand towels are nice Christmas gifts.
Did you know? Lemon juice will take the smell of onions off of your hands. Hand-soap scented with natural lemon juice is a wonderful item to have in the kitchen and a welcome addition to a kitchen Christmas gift basket.
Every order is hand packed with top-quality gourmet chocolate, candy, and coffees to please even the most picky of palates. Then, each gift basket is adorned with a hand-tied bow, carefully boxed to prevent damage, then delivered, with your personalized greeting card, right to their home or office.
