• Making a Gift Basket

  Consider the recipient of the gift basket and his or her favorite things. Use that passion as the central theme for the gift basket. For example, a person who loves to cook might appreciate a gift basket containing gourmet ingredients and a recipe card, while a person who needs some pampering might like a basket with spa-type items like soap, bubble bath, and terry-cloth slippers. Purchase a basket or similar container, large enough to hold all the gift items, and add accents such as ribbon, tissue paper, and cellophane wrap, if desired. Arrange items from large to small, with smaller items in front. Decorate the basket as desired.
