What Should You Put in Your Gift Basket
The options for things to add to a gift basket are endless! That's likely why I find it so hard to begin with! Gift baskets can be for so many different holidays and occasions. This particular one was for a Christmas giveaway, but you can make them for birthdays, wedding showers, baby showers, anniversaries, fundraisers, and more.
Like I said, I've always found it a bit stressful to decide what to put in a gift basket. This time we were wrapping a gift basket for a business giveaway, and here are some of the things I included:
- Gift Cards (to places with a lot of variety)
- Coffee Mug
- Coffee
- Chocolate
- Hot Chocolate
- Candy Canes
Here are some other ideas you can include in your gift baskets:
- Any branded business paraphernalia
- Unique items from local businesses or farmer's markets
- Handmade items from yourself or your business
- Teas or any other beverage of choice
- Activity gift cards
- Event gift cards or tickets
- Teas or other seasonal beverages
- Anything specific to your theme (e.g. baby items for a shower)
