Tips to build personal gift baskets at home

If you've decided on a theme for your basket, start shopping early and keep an eye out for bargains. Can you go shopping after a holiday when everything is on sale? Look for things on clearance and use discounts whenever possible.

You don't have to use a typical basket for any of your gift baskets; you can use any container you choose. For the kitchen, food, or baking themes, consider fun bowls, colanders, pots, and skillets. Laundry baskets and cleaning buckets are ideal for college students and first-time homebuyers. For children's gifts, consider toy carts or wagons. Large glass jars with lids look great when containing a lot of little goods. Vintage crates or home décor objects can also be used as fascinating containers.

Allow your imagination to go wild as you walk through the store. Consider the weight of what you intend to put in the basket, as well as whether the container's base is wide enough to be stable.

When making personal gift baskets, the goods appear best when they are elevated in the container rather than sitting low in the basket. There are a few ways to do this. In shallow pots, bubble wrap, tissue paper, crumbled newspaper, and basket filler work well. You can also use boxes to add height if you're using a deeper container. I utilized the packaging from the mason jar mugs for the summer entertaining basket above. It was an ideal and a win-win situation in case the receiver decided to keep the mugs in the box.

Use a variety of colors, textures, and sizes to add interest to personal gift baskets. I always like to toss in an extra tiny thing or two to fill in the gaps. Also, work the smaller pieces in the front and the taller items in the back to allow all of your items a chance to be seen. Finally, to add depth to your present put a miniature basket filler or other items to the inside of the glass.

5. Wrap It Up With Wonders 

Personal gift baskets do not always need to be wrapped. Wrap your basket in cellophane and tie a nice bow if you want to spruce it up. When tying off the cellophane, use ribbon or a pipe cleaner and tug on the cellophane to make it taut. Don't want to wear a bow? To tie off the top of the cellophane on a more rustic basket, I used raffia and a huge wood button as a focal piece. Tulle is another fabric that may be used to wrap your basket and keep everything in place. Tulle comes in a variety of colors and is relatively affordable.

You can demonstrate how well you know and care for your receiver by creating a set of products that they will enjoy. DIY personal gift baskets can also be highly cost-effective. You can select your budget for the basket and purchase items from a posh shop to a dollar store. It's entirely up to you! In any case, how you make and style the basket will give it a high-end appearance.
