To make a movie night gift basket, take a basket, bowl or movie themed box and place tissue paper in the bottom of it, so that the items will have something to rest on and won't move around so much. You can also use shred for this.

2
Place two paper popcorn holders in the back of the basket with two packages of microwave popcorn in front of those.

Closer to the front, place the smaller items; two packages of trail mix and two packages of Hershey's dark chocolate bars.

Next put in one package of Twizzlers, divided into two and put into two separate cello bags and tied around the middle with pink curling ribbon.

Write out a thoughtful message onto your enclosure card and add to the basket. I save birthday or other cards and use craft scissors to cut out enclosure card size cards.

Place the basket into a clear, large cello bag. Apply a twist tie, this will make it easier to put on the bow and makes the bag more securely closed. Add a large bow; pull bows are wonderful, you can purchase them flat for easy storage and by simply pulling a string you make a big, lovely bow. You now have a movie gift basket.
