General guide in making gift baskets
Before you even go to the task of shopping for your gift basket items, it is important that you consider these steps first:
- Consider your recipient, ie what is their interest and what kind of gifts are they expecting? This is the most important step in making a gift basket because you would not want to end up wasting all your time and effort on a gift that is not appreciated by your recipient.
- Consider the occasion the gift basket is for. This will also help you in deciding on the kind of gift basket to make. For example, if the occasion is a wedding and you know your recipient likes to picnic, then a ‘picnic for two’ gift basket will most definitely delight your recipient.
- Decide on a theme for the gift basket and fix your budget. Once you considered the above 2 steps, it is easier to decide on a theme for your gift basket. There are many homemade gift basket ideas you can choose from. A gift basket that centres around one theme is definitely more professional than one that does not have a specific theme. If you cannot decide on a specific theme, a gourmet gift basket is a good choice, provided you make one that has the recipient’s favourite food items in it.
Here are some interesting homemade gift basket ideas to help you decide on a theme for your gift basket:

Thinking of you gift baskets
|
- Once the theme has been decided, the next important step would be to decide on your budget. Remember that your budget should have enough allocation for the gifts, the basket itself and also the deco you need to do for your gift basket.
- Only after you have considered all the above steps that you should start your gift shopping. Keeping your budget in mind, choose your gift items and keep in mind that you should always buy your gift items first before buying the basket or container for the gifts. In this way, you will be able to choose a basket or container size that can fit your gifts perfectly. Also, at this point in time, where possible, you may wish to colour coordinate your gifts, baskets and fillers. While this might not be so practical for gift baskets like gourmet baskets, it will definitely make a lot of difference for gift baskets such as spa baskets, wedding baskets and body and bath baskets.
