Step 1
Include a group of eclectic items in your basket, keeping in mind that no one expects you to spend a lot.
-
Step 2
Choose from items such as international gourmet foods or spices; flavored coffee beans; teas from around the world; books or magazines about your boss's favorite hobbies or sports; handheld games; and relaxing CDs or tapes, such as those with sounds of the seashore, chimes, water or whales.
-
Step 3
Pick a basket style. Choices include those with one handle, with two side handles, or without handles. Make certain the basket is large enough to hold the gifts you have selected.
-
Step 4
Choose a neutral color that will complement any home or office decor. A natural wicker basket works well.
-
Step 5
Use shredded paper filling to make the gifts fit snugly in the basket.
-
Step 6
Buy an appropriate greeting card.
-
Step 1
Wrap each present with a colorful gift wrap.
-
Step 2
Put a layer of shredded paper filling in the bottom of the basket.
-
Step 3
Place the wrapped gifts vertically or horizontally in the basket, as space allows, pushing the filling between gifts to ensure a very snug fit. Cover some of the gifts completely with the filling to create mini surprises when your boss unpacks the basket.
-
Step 4
Place the basket in the center of a large piece of clear or tinted cellophane gift wrap. You may need two pieces of the wrap to completely cover a large basket.
-
Step 5
Bring all sides of the wrap to a few inches above the top of the basket. Secure the wrap by tying it with a long, colorful ribbon.
-
Step 6
Tape your greeting card to the wrap.
