Choosing the Gifts and Basket

2. Pick a basket style that will allow the car buff to easily store auto-related items in it. Choose a dark basket that will allow any oil or grease to blend right in. Make certain the basket is large enough for the items you select.

7. Place the wrapped gifts vertically or horizontally in the basket, as space allows, pushing the filling between gifts to ensure a very snug fit.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. Tape your greeting card onto the wrap.
