How to Make a Gift Basket

No matter what the occasion is, you can give a gift basket. Although... it doesn't have to be a basket

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• a theme for the basket
• small items that relate to the theme
• container to place items in
• a linging for the basket
• (optional) a card

1. Pick a theme that the receiver who like. (For example, my uncle loves comic books)

2. Purchase small items that reflect your theme. (In my case I buy small encylopedias and cards and maybe DVD's related to the avengers.)

3. Purchase a sturdy basket to place all of your items in. (I like plastic containers, and so does my uncle. So I use whatever container he needs at the present time.)

4. Line your container to make it look nice (At this time, I can't stand easter grass. So I just don't line mine at all)

5. Place items into the container. Arrange in a manner that provides easy access to all items you purcahsed.

6. (optional) Write out your card and place it in your basket to where it is either the first or last thing the receiver sees.

7. Give the basket to the receiver.

Tips & Warnings

• if you choose the right size of container, any little amount will look like a lot

on 6/25/2007 Hmm... how come you're not a fan of easter grass?

I'm not sure if this would work, but maybe you could put cotton, or even better, pillow stuffing (that you can usually purchase at a fabric or arts and crafts store)to line the basket.
