Introduction
We all love receiving gifts, but sometimes it’s even more exciting to be able to give one! That perfect gift basket can put you in a giver’s high, and there’s no more satisfying feeling than being the one who helps someone else experience that same joy. From baby shower welcome baskets for new parents to beach-themed hostess gifts for your besties, our guide covers over 50 gift basket ideas of every kind. We’ll walk you through each step of the way as we explain how to create a personalized gift basket that will make any recipient feel special – whether they’re celebrating a birthday or simply because you want them to know how much they mean to you. (We won’t tell!)
Movie Night
With movie night, it’s all about the movies. You can fill your basket with popcorn, candy and soda. Add in movie tickets, DVD or Blu-ray box sets, streaming service subscriptions and blankets for the couch (or pillows). If you want to get really fancy with this theme gift basket idea, include some plastic cups and cutlery as well!
Ice Cream
A great gift idea is to make a themed ice cream basket. Ice cream is delicious and loved by people of all ages. A basket full of ice cream toppings, berry sauce, and chocolate sauce will be sure to please anyone who loves the creamy goodness that is ice cream.
To make this gift basket you will need:
- Waffle cones in various sizes (small, medium, large)
- Sprinkles (in any color or flavor)
- Cherries (dried or fresh)
- Chocolate sauce (dark or white) * Whipped cream topping (purchased at the store or homemade from whipping regular heavy cream until stiff peaks form – easy!) * Spoons for eating out of tubs/containers/bowls! * Ice Cream Scoop for scooping into containers! * Bowls for serving your creations! Napkins are also a good idea if using paper bowls instead of plastic ones because they’ll help keep things cleaner since they won’t soak up grease like paper plates do.”
Tea
Tea is an excellent gift idea for anyone who loves to relax and unwind. Tea accessories like strainers, teapots, and mugs can be included in a tea-themed gift basket.
If you’re looking for a gift that has variety but does not include alcoholic beverages, tea is a great option to consider. It can be enjoyed by people of all ages and there are many different types of tea including green, oolong, black and herbal.
Coffee
Coffee
Do you know someone who could use a little pick-me-up? A coffee gift basket can be the perfect gift to give them. There are many different ways to put together a coffee themed gift basket, but one of the easiest approaches is to order from a local coffee shop and include everything needed for making and drinking coffee at home. Your recipient should be able to enjoy their favorite brew on their own terms. Here are some ideas for what to put in your Coffee Gift Basket:* Order from a local coffee shop.* Include different types of coffee (or tea)* Include some fancy flavored creamer (like hazelnut) for use with those fresh beans.* Include a mug or two that says “Just Brew It” on it.* In addition, you can also include things like sugar cubes and half & half – these are nice touches that will make this gift even more thoughtful!
Hot Cocoa
Hot cocoa is a popular drink that is served in many homes. The ingredients commonly used include sugar, cocoa powder and milk or cream. Hot chocolate may be prepared with a liquid base of whole milk or half-and-half, but it is not uncommon to use semi-skimmed or low-fat dairy products. A variety of flavors such as cinnamon, vanilla bean, mint and coffee are sometimes added.
Another ingredient that can be included in hot chocolate recipes includes marshmallows for additional texture and sweetness. Hot chocolate mugs are typically made from ceramic material with handles that allow users to hold them comfortably while drinking their beverage from them. Other types of cups may include plastic tumblers made from polypropylene plastic materials which are inexpensive yet durable enough for repeated use without showing signs of wear over time.”
Home Spa Basket
Home Spa Basket
If you’re looking to treat your friend or family member to a relaxing day at home, then this spa basket is the perfect choice! This gift includes bath and body products that will soothe their senses while they relax in their own home. The bath salts will help them feel refreshed after a long day and the face mask will help keep their skin looking fresh. If they’ve been having some trouble sleeping, these essential oils can help too! There are also candles included for an added touch of romance.
Amusement Park
Themed gift baskets are a great way to give someone a memorable gift. They contain everything that you need for your theme, and they can be used as decoration if not used as a present.
They are also easy to make and very inexpensive. All you need to do is put together items based on what type of theme you want to create!
Here are some ideas for themed gifts:
- Amusement Park – sunscreen, blanket, water bottle, camera and hat
- Beach – sunglasses, snacks, layers of clothing (such as t-shirts), cash or credit card
Gardening Supplies
Gardening Supplies
- Flower Seeds
- Hand Shovel
- Hand Trowel
- Watering Can
- Hose
These are all the basics needed to start your own garden. If you’re looking for an easy way to give someone a gift that shows you care about them, this is it!
Pizza Kit
A Pizza Kit is a gift that any pizza fan would love to receive. In addition to the actual pizza pan, you’ll need some sauce and cheese. You can buy these items at the store, but they’re easy enough to make at home—just follow the recipe below!
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- Any other toppings you want (e.g., pepperoni)
The box itself doesn’t need much decoration; just put on a festive label or sticker and add a bow and ribbon for an extra pop of color. If you want to go even further with your presentation, consider decorating the lid with colored tissue paper or wrapping paper from around your house before putting it back together again so it looks nice inside when opened up later on by the recipient!
To store this gift basket properly once assembled, line an empty cardboard box with plastic wrap before adding all ingredients into their respective containers (tomatoes first since they tend not hold up well once exposed). When finished filling up each container then place them back inside their original packaging before placing them inside their new home! This way nothing gets squished while also keeping everything neat without taking up too much prep time ahead of time as well!
The cost breakdown comes out pretty reasonable: The total amount spent would be around $20 per basket plus another $5 if using store-bought ingredients rather than homemade ones–which means no more than 20 cents per person served here 🙂 If making everything yourself costs less money overall then this could be considered even better value than most food items we have reviewed thus far because most people will eat more than one piece
Beach Day Kit
What you’ll need:
- Sunscreen.
- Goggles.
- Lip balm.
- Water (or other drinks).
- Towels (or something else to sit on).
- Beach balls, frisbees, flip flops etc…
Personalized Picnic Baskets
A picnic basket makes a great gift, especially for people who like to spend time outdoors. It’s also a good choice for people who are foodies, as picnics generally involve eating delicious snacks and drinking wine or beer.
If you want to customize your picnic basket for the recipient, include some of their favorite items in it! This can be anything from chocolate bars and cookies (or other types of candy) to beer or wine. Make sure you include things they can use on their next outdoor adventure too—like napkins, silverware, plates or bowls—and don’t forget the utensils! A handwritten note will also add a personal touch that shows how much care went into picking out this gift.
A cute basket or bucket works well as an edible container for your homemade treats because they look nice when full and make it easy to carry everything at once when heading out into nature with friends or family members who might need help carrying along their own supplies too! If possible try not using plastic containers if possible but opt instead for glass jars if available which will feel more environmentally friendly (especially since many foods nowadays come packaged inside plastic containers). If glass isn’t available then consider using recyclable materials such as cardboard boxes instead; these options are still better than using disposable plastic bags because there’s no chance of leaking fluids onto clothes during transportations either way though so there really aren’t any negatives about using either type except perhaps cost savings due solely on consumer preference alone – however even then those costs still pale compared against what would happen if someone accidentally spilled something all over themselves while trying balance both hands holding onto two separate objects while walking down some stairs where it’s dark outside…
Wine And Cheese Pairing
Wine and cheese are the perfect pairing, but have you ever considered going beyond the basics? Wine and cheese pairings can take on many forms, from a classic bordeaux and blue cheese pairing to a sweet moscato and salty parmesan combo.
Here’s how:
- Start by selecting two distinct wines. For example, one could be dry red wine like Pinot Noir or Cabernet Sauvignon, while the other is white wine like Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc.
- Next select cheeses that complement each other well in both taste and texture (softer cheeses with harder cheeses). Try out different combinations until you find one that works for you!
