• A theme also helps make selection easier and keeps the basket cohesive.
• Consider what they love the most!

Step 2: Select the Perfect Container

• Use a basket, decorative box, or even a reusable tote.
• Theme the container (like a mason jar for a coffee basket).
• Ensure it’s strong enough to carry everything.
• A container sets the stage for the gift.

Step 3: Use Filler for a Professional Finish

• Filler can be tissue paper, shredded paper, or fabric scraps.
• Go with colors that fit the theme or the recipient’s go-to hues.
• The filler holds items in place and gives a professional touch.
• It’s all about the details!

Step 4: Choose Thoughtful Items

• Add both practical and fun gifts to the list.
• For a spa basket: bath bombs, lotion, a candle, and a face mask.
• For a movie night: popcorn, candy, a cozy blanket, and a DVD.
• Customize the items to their liking.

Step 5: Add Personal Touches

• Add a handwritten note or card.
• Include a photo of you two together or a little body that you made.
• There are personal touches that make the gift special.

Step 6: Arrange the Items

• Put bigger items at the back and smaller items at the front.
• Wait until dry before adding filler to hold items securely and visibly.
• Double-check that all of the pieces fit but appear welcoming.
• Some mindfully arranged baskets are a joy to unbox!

Step 7: Wrap It Up

• For a more polished look, wrap the basket in clear cellophane.
• Use a ribbon or bow that complements the theme to tie.
• Attach a gift tag that says who the gift is for.
• The wrapping is the finishing touch that makes it gift-ready.

Step 8: Present with Love
