RSS FeedMAKING THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS BASKETS
Christmas is just around the corner and you still need to make a list of people you need to buy gifts for. Time is closing upon the holiday quicker than ever and you’re not sure your last few paychecks will really cover your expenses. This year as you tick off the list of people you need to buy gifts for start thinking about a gift that will fit each person’s personality and hobbies. This year, rather than buying extravagant gifts do something simple yet extremely touching; this year do Christmas gift baskets. Making Christmas gift baskets is like filling stockings: you’re going to have an item you stuff with smaller items that generally have a theme or connection. So, in order o accomplish this you’re going to need a gift basket, wrapper paper of some sort, the gifts and some ribbon or other decorative material to add a personal touch to your Christmas gift baskets. Some people love to quilt so you should use that to your advantage. Go to a fabric store and buy what are called “fat quarters”—which happen to be leftover fabric of a quarter or a half yard in size. Fabric stores combine different styles of the same fabric (or even different fabrics of the same style) and sell them for quilting. There are also some quilting tools that a quilter could always use. Know someone that loves to cook? Then they’ll love Christmas gift baskets filled with cooking tools and ingredients. For a guy that loves to grill get some different barbeque sauces set up next to a great set of grill tools. For a baker use a muffin pan to sport a baking cookbook, some muffin mix, brownie mix and a bowl and whisk for mixing.
