Personalized Gift Baskets

Create Personalized Gift Baskets For Valentine’s Day

Personalized gift baskets are a great idea for the special men in your life? Maybe you’d like to show your husband, boyfriend or father how special they are with a homemade gift basket. Here are some ideas just in time for Valentine’s Day. :)

Start with a wicker basket. You can find gift basket supplies at most craft stores and you may even have luck finding a like-new basket at a thrift shop for very little money.

Spray paint the basket red for an extra touch. Check your paint supply before you purchase a new can because you won’t need much.

Use some material, a cloth napkin or a handkerchief to line the bottom. Try to have one large enough to hang over the sides. If you’re using a solid color, try white – it will look nice with the red. You can also try to use a pattern with hearts on it. Don’t use anything to feminine though, remember it’s for a man.

Now for the fillings! You’ll want something romantic, but also items that are personal for their likes and hobbies. If they enjoy movies, buy a romantic comedy on DVD. If they like reading, buy a book of love poems. Do they work on a computer? Purchase a specially made screen saver with your picture on it, surrounded by hearts. You can get it downloaded to a CD that you can add to the basket. Think of what they like to do and how you can turn it into something romantic. A little imagination goes a long way!! :)

Next, go to your favorite bakery and pick up some Valentine Day cookies. Try to get a nice assortment. For the final empty spots, you can use candy. You shouldn’t have any trouble finding Valentine candy in single servings that you can tuck in where ever it needs to be filled. You can also pick up little Valentine trinkets like a keychain or a mug to include in the basket.

Also – this basket can be easily adjusted for a woman.

Happy Valentine’s Day!! :)
