Gift Basket Supplies

Most people appreciate the time and effort spent in making a homemade gift. Don’t know anything about making gift baskets? Don’t worry; this article will give you the basic things you need to know in order to make your very own gift basket.

To make your own basket, you will need to purchase some gift basket supplies. Let’s start with your gift container. A gift basket can be made out of any container. You can use wicker baskets, wood crates, wood baskets, metal tins, plastic pails, wire baskets or photo boxes. You basket can be made out of plastic, metal or any other materials. They may have a handle or not.

You can also use gift boxes with or without handles. Some even uses gift bags, stiff plastic ones, paper gift bags, muslin bags or metallic bags. No matter what kind you’d want, you will have a lot to choose from. All these come in different sizes and colors. If you’ve been receiving gift baskets before, you can even re-use these old gifts. If you do not have any container available in your home, be sure to buy all other supplies before buying your container so that you will know which size is most appropriate.

Next you’ll need fillers. Fillers are the stuff found at the basket’s bottom that acts as the base, which raises the gifts. They are also used for filling spaces in between the gifts to prevent the gifts from moving around. You can use tissue paper as filler — tissue paper comes in sheets and different colors. You can also use newspaper as the base filler, just be sure to cover it with a layer of thin tissue since the ink from newspapers can rub off. Often used fillers are shredded papers. There are also fillers made of heavier paper shreds, cellophane shreds, wood shreds, tissue paper shreds and metallic shreds. You can also use straws or fabrics as fillers.

Next supplies you’ll need are wraps. Most common wraps are made from cellophane. Cellophane comes in assorted colors, tints and prints. If you’re making a food gift basket, be sure to use FDA-approved cellophane. You can also use shrink-wraps. These are films of transparent plastic that is used to wrap the basket then when heat is applied to it; it will shrink to create a snug-fitting seal. This too comes in assorted colors and tints. Another wrap you can use are tulle netting. This is sheer and fine and is the same netting that is often used in veils.

To complete your gift basket, you’ll need to buy your gifts. You can put anything in your gift basket. Food, candles, clothes, potpourri or any personal item you’d want to give the receiver. To beautify your gift basket, you’ll need to buy bows and ribbons. These can be bought in any craft shop. They come in an assortment of colors, sizes and textures. You can also buy any more adornments. Lastly, be sure to buy your enclosure cards. This is where you write your wishes for the person receiving your gift basket and of course your name. So go now and have fun making your gift basket.
