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!
