Christmas Gift Basket Ideas – Theme Your Holiday Gifts
By Ruzica Milevska
Giving Christmas gift baskets are a fantastic way to avoid the
hard work of finding a suitable Christmas gift for even the most
demanding of your friends and relatives. You can buy or make
Christmas gift baskets that have particular themes to fit the
lifestyle and hobbies of the intended recipient. One of the
really fun things about giving themed Christmas gift baskets is
using your imagination as you start to collect the various items
needed to fill your surprise basket.
You can make your Christmas gift baskets as simple or elaborate
as you like. If you are looking for an inexpensive gift for your
children’s teachers or your co-workers that you would like to
acknowledge during this time of year, then it is quite simple to
put together a basket that looks great but doesn’t cost the
earth. Your Christmas baskets can be filled with relatively
cheap trinkets and thoughtful items such as soaps, homemade
jams, chocolates and Christmas decorations that are easily
sourced from your local stores or from a specialty stores that
sell these items in bulk.
Food Baskets
One of the most popular types of Christmas gift basket ideas
today is the food basket. You can fill these with a variety of
delectable goodies, from decadent desserts and sweets to entire
meals. Why not try an Italian Christmas gift basket, you can
fill these with fresh pasta and sauces, breadsticks and don’t
forget to add a bottle of Italian wine. For the younger
recipients, why not go for the snack Christmas gift baskets
stuffed with popcorn, nuts, lollies and a mixture of dip mixes
and biscuits. You can find ready-made food styled Christmas gift
baskets that will literally tantalize any palate, or you can
create your own with your personal concoctions and specialties.
For example if you enjoy baking and cooking, then this is the
perfect way to turn your own favorite recipes into an entire
gift ensemble for everyone on your list. Add some special herbal
teas, flavoured butter and a pair of mugs, and your gift basket
is ready to go.
Hobby Baskets
Is your best friend a golf enthusiast or an avid gardener? If
so why not put together a Christmas gift basket that is full of
tools and supplies to support their pastime or special hobby.
Every gardener would just love to receive Christmas gift baskets
jam packed full of flower or vegetable seeds together with a new
trowel and some gardening gloves. A golfer can always use more
golf balls, towels and other useful items. For others why not
put in a calendar or some humorous books and magazines. If your
intended recipient likes sewing, cooking or rock climbing, you
can always find a few bits and pieces to create a unique
Christmas gift basket that is tailored to that particular
person. Make sure you throw in one or two items that are
strictly just for fun as well as those useful tools that a
hobbyist always needs.
Really the best part about giving Christmas gift baskets is
that they are almost as much fun to create, as they are to
receive. If you are looking for a creative way to delight
everyone on your ‘to receive present list’ this year, why not
consider preparing unique Christmas gift baskets customized to
those special folks.
Rest assured that your Christmas gift baskets are guaranteed to
be a total hit and may even start a trend for years to come, so
go on get your thinking cap on and start buying for this festive
season.
