Things You'll Need:
- Large popcorn tub or oversized bowl
- Microwave popcorn in a variety of flavors
- Popcorn salt and seasonings
- Water bottles
- Movie rental or popcorn store gift cards
- Optional: Sample sizes of specialty popcorns
-
Step 1
Purchase the materials to make popcorn gift baskets for everyone on the list. Large popcorn tubs or oversized plastic bowls make excellent and practical baskets. Popcorn salt is finer than table salt and available in the seasoning aisle.
-
Step 2
Line the bottom of the basket with colorful cloth napkins. Top the napkins with several bottles of water. Alternate between 8- and 16-oz sizes for variety and visual appeal. Include individual drink mix packets for flavor. Water is the perfect accompaniment to a salty snack like popcorn.
-
Step 3
Make a layer of chocolate bars and other candies. Larger packages are especially appropriate and add a movie theater feel to the gift basket.
-
Step 4
Fill the basket with packages of microwave and stovetop popcorn. Use several brands, types and flavors for variety. Add a layer of ready made popcorn treats like popcorn balls, boxes of caramel corn and peanuts, etc.
-
Step 5
Toss in containers of popcorn salt, popcorn seasonings and microwavable caramel sauce. Add a few movie rental gift cards or DVDs. Some video stores sell cards good for individual rentals rather than particular denominations.
-
Step 6
Wrap the gift basket from bottom to top in cellophane. Decorate with ribbons and a bow. Attach a card with a personalized note. Additional wrapping paper isn’t needed.
