When creating a gift basket start with a theme and create the basket towards your recipient's interests. Find out what they like and then build the basket around that theme.

There are so many different types of themes you can start with including baby gift basket, Christmas gift basket, mothers day gift basket, fathers day gift basket, dog lover gift basket, cat lover gift basket, golf gift basket, tennis gift basket, housewarming gift basket, lovers gift basket? the list is endless.

Your basket doesn't have to be expensive; in fact using lots of small gifts make it more fun for the recipient. You can also have lots of fun using different types of baskets. Recycle old items and use them as the basket. When filling your basket use books, CD's, bath or body products, stuffed animals, toys, notepaper and pens, figurines, and lots of yummy gourmet treats like, pate and crackers, chocolates, cookies, pretzels and popcorn. The gift recipient will love discovering all of the fun presents tucked inside their unique gift basket!
