Looking for a thoughtful, economical and lovely gift idea? Themed gift baskets are a perfect solution!
When you think of all the occasions which call for a gift, your calendar and list can become quite full. However, your wallet can become correspondingly empty as you fulfill your gift list. Gift baskets are one way to acknowledge those many occasions, in a thoughtful, personal and economical way. Gift baskets make fun gifts, fun to make, give and receive. The great thing about themed gift baskets is that there's almost an endless variety of things to fill them with. That custom touch makes a gift basket much more personal than other more conventional gifts, such as a sweater or scarf you pick up at the department store.
Almost everyone's got a special interest. In the case of themed gift baskets, the more obscure the interest or hobby, the better! The recipient will feel the special pleasure of knowing that you put some thought and effort into creating a gift just for them.
In addition to special interests and hobbies, your themed gift basket might focus on holidays, birthdays, graduations and other such celebratory events.
The color scheme you select can play heavily into your gift message. For example, the everything-Italian fan's themed gift basket is far more festive when you use obviously Italian color schemes - the red, white and green of the Italian flag immediately adds pizazz and identifies the theme. When you fill that basket with Italian herb mixtures, authentic old world Italian recipes and a set of espresso coffee cups, you've got an inexpensive, but winning gift.
With a themed gift basket, the theme and decorations are central to the presentation and enjoyment of your recipient. It's somewhat analogous to a plain pound cake versus a fancy, decorated birthday cake. Let's take a look at how your themed gift basket enhances the basket contents.
Let's say your niece has just returned from a vacation in Hawaii. It's her birthday. A luau themed gift basket might have a silk lei, ringing the edge of the basket, with little faux tropical birdies from the craft shop. The contents can be simple, including Hawaiian macadamia nuts, Kona coffee and a few traditional Hawaiian recipes. Find some Hawaiian postcards on eBay. She'll love it!
For the coffee lover, use your glue gun to 'string' coffee beans together and wrap them around the handle of your basket. Line the basket with a coffee themed tissue paper and fill it with several choice coffee blends.
For Mother's Day or a birthday, pamper Mom with a basket of bath luxury items and goodies. Line your gift basket with a luxurious satin and decorate with lace and satin ribbons. Slip in a silk rose and a candle for that perfectly soothing bath time ambience.
For weddings and anniversaries, a silver or gold tissue lining, with delicate bells and tiny silk roses makes a perfect statement. A couple of champagne glasses and a split of champagne completes this themed gift basket.
How about teen themes? Line this basket with some radical paper and fill it with lipstick, eyeshadow, blush, nail kits with stickers, fancy stockings, costume jewelry, CDs, DVDs, or gift certificates.
You can see that a gift basket with a theme can be inexpensive, but stunning, letting your giftee know you gave some thought to who they are!
