Just remember, the sky’s the limit for a creation like this. When you Make Your Own Gift Baskets, The sizes and shapes vary, as do with the receiver of this gift. The best thing is, you can make as personal as you want or as generic, depending on the individual you are giving it to.
Steps to make your own gift basket;
- You can start with the basket. However, it may be difficult, with so many to choose from as well as so many size variations. So, usually it is best to have the gift in mind first. This will give you a better determination of the size needed.
- Also, consider other objects or containers as potential baskets. As they themselves are an extra bonus for the gift recipient. Examples:
- Decorated tins with lids filled with shredded colored paper with gift inside.
- Can use medium size bowl of various styles and patterns. The gift is snug inside the bowl surrounded by shredded paper, or wadded up paper does well too.
- Or, you can start with the gift (centerpiece). It should be based on the reason for the gift and what the person, receiving the gift, may like. Examples:
- If it is for a holiday gift, be festive. Give a wonderful bottle of fine wine, perhaps.
- If it is a birthday gift, maybe more personal. Could give a special fine wine accessory.

Just remember that the sky’s the limit when it comes to making baskets. Sometimes, especially with the family gift baskets I have given for Christmas for the past, too many years to count, and have started with a theme, then went from there. Next, I added a large style basket of some sort, usually equivalent to a small laundry basket. Filled it with tissue paper. Added wrapped gift. Then I took various fruits and added them. (like apples, oranges and grapefruits). Oh, I can’t forget the added tin of fresh homemade cookies I made to include in the basket. Just my own touch, but not necessary for everyone!
Gift baskets I enjoy the most are the ones I make for family and friends during the Christmas Holidays! I hope you enjoy making your own baskets from some of the ideas above that may have sparked your imagination.
