I often like to take the stress out of what to get people on my list by thinking of a "themed" gift basket. I have done baskets for individuals as well as for families. Below I have listed some of my favorite "Themed" gift basket ideas.
Chocolate Lover's Basket- Purchase or make gourmet chocolates, fancy chocolate tea cookies etc. & wrap in a decorative box lined with tissue paper
Garden Lover's Basket- Purchase garden gloves, seeds,bulbs, hand trowels, garden statuary & arrange it in a large flower pot.
Book Lover's Basket- Purchase bookmarks, bookplates, book light. I have purchased books if I know the reading preferences, if not, I have tucked in a book store gift card.
Kitchen Gadgets Basket- Purchase an assortment of kitchen gadgets & tea towels and put them in a colander.
Tea or Coffee Lover's Basket- Purchase an assortment of specialty teas/coffee, sugar cubes, and mugs. Movie Night Basket- Purchase Popcorn and put in a large Mason jar, add some popcorn seasonings, a 6 pack of bottled soda, and a great family movie or two.
Christmas Morning Basket- Add Pancake mix, canned ham, real maple syrup, mini-muffins, coffee.
Car Care Basket- Purchase car wash soap, car wax, armor all, air-fresheners, tire cleaner, & chamois
Dinner Basket- Purchase a gourmet jar of spaghetti sauce, spaghetti, hot roll mix, and put it all in a stainless steel colander.This past Christmas I gave each of my teenage nieces a "Party in a Box". For one of them, I put a popular board game in a large box and added all sorts of snacks and party invitations. For the other I put all sorts of manicure items, nail art kits, invitations & snacks. On the out side of the box I wrote "Party in a box...Just add friends". They both loved them. I especially love the "family" baskets. One large gift for everyone means less time spent in the stores which means less stress.
