RSS FeedBuilding a Better Gift Basket - Intuit Business Directory
Here are some tips to get you started.
Your basket- The container that you use should reflect the theme of the basket. If you are going for a generic theme any pretty basket will do, but if you have a theme such as for a baby shower, use something original, such as a diaper pail or diaper bag for your base. A gift basket for someone that likes to garden could be put together in a metal tub that can be used for planting later on. Get the picture? Be unique! Line your basket- One thing that the store bought baskets do to look fuller is to pad the container with tissue paper. It helps to not only make the basket look fuller, but it helps to be able to place things in an attractive manner because you can use layers of wadded tissue to raise the height of certain items to have an attractive display.

If you are doing a gift basket for a baby shower, use not only cute baby things, but items that will be useful as well, such as diapers and bottles. Wrap and decorate your basket- Wrapping comes in many ways. One popular method is to buy a gift basket kit. They usually contain a cellophane bag to insert your basket into, ribbons for tying, and a name tag. Another way to wrap your basket is to buy the heat sensitive cellophane which tightens up from the heat of a blow-dryer to hug your basket. You can also buy rolls of cellophane in a number of patterns. Again, the dollar store is a great place to find this. Then tie your wrapping up with colorful ribbons and bows. If your basket has a theme, use something that goes with your theme to decorate. For example, with a cooking themed basket you might...Kims Gift Baskets-Bridal Shower Favors
