How To Make A Personalized Gift Basket

So you want to make a personalized gift basket for someone. Perhaps it is their birthday, or they have just recovered or been discharged from hospital. The number one most imperative advice that anyone can give you is that you have to take into account who it is for!. Do you have any inside jokes with the receiver of the gift basket? There is nothing more impersonal than receiving a store bought basket that has a shoddy card on the inside. You may as well just carve “Here” on a piece of wood and put it into a box. But fear not, for I will help you create a gift basket that any relative would want to receive!

Starting with the basics at decoration, it is important to make your basket look appealing as nobody wants to receive something that looks thrown together at the last minute. Simply go to your local card/gift wrapping store and buy some ribbon, some colored plastic see through wrap and lots of matching crepe paper. Use the crepe paper as the foundation for the basket, by placing multiple folds at the bottom of the basket, and simply crinkle the edges around the edge of the basket to make it look like it was there all along! You can tear up the remaining crepe paper to get a kind of streamer effect. Now take the ribbon and tie a neat bow on the handle of the basket (this step really shows affection with receivers for some reason). Now stream the colored plastic around the edge of the basket, to cover the crinkled edge of the crepe paper.

Next is the arrangement. Avoid live flowers if you intend to give the basket in a few days as it will wilt and look very terrible on the day. Depending on who it is for, you can either have an inside joke or go for a more generic box of chocolates or champagne combo (these are usually accepted with gratitude believe me!). You want to arrange them so that the biggest is at the back, and the smallest is leaning on the biggest (this makes it seem like you have given more than you actually have).

And voila! You have a fully amiable gift basket that anyone could appreciate!
