by Bran Stark W. Entertainment News Writer

Finding the perfect gift for loved ones is an insurmountable task, which is why many people take the ‘gift card’ route. This is no doubt the safest way to gift friends and family for the holidays or any special occasion; but the feeling of care and love that comes with personally selecting the gift (and then wrapping it up) is lost with gift cards.

But wait! Why not make a homemade gift basket for loved ones instead? Not only are gift baskets cost effective and beautiful but they can be easily personalized! Of course what’s placed in the gift basket is second important only to the quality of baskets being used to make the homemade gift in.

BambooImagination is an online store that offers a large collection of quality hand-woven baskets made from natural water hyacinth or rattan. In addition to providing great utility and function, you can get affordable bamboo made products from the store.

Following are some homemade gift ideas that’ll show loved ones that you care;

For The Travel Care Basket

The ideal basket to go well is this beautiful utility basket from BambooImagination. The next items to go inside the care basket are a nice toothbrush and toothpaste holder that can be bought or sewed at home. Save some space for a good quality and fine bristled hairbrush (for girls) and a travel shaving kit (for guys). A sleep mask or two is also an essential item so don’t forget that. Lastly, create some Lavender scented potpourri and add that as well.

For The ‘Feel Better’ Care Basket
