Themes for Gift Baskets

A gift basket is an ideal present for any occasion. From the major holidays to birthdays and baby showers, a gift basket includes a sense of creativity and meaningfulness that is sure to be more appreciated than a store-bought gift. Picking a theme is the first step in making a gift basket. A theme can be the holiday itself or something that is important to the person receiving the gift.  For example, if you know that the birthday boy enjoys football, create a gift basket centered around his favorite football team. This way you know what gift basket supplies to purchase, the colors and patterns to include, as well as the items to place in the basket. Here are some examples of some fun, creative gift baskets:

Baby Shower  – Blue for boys and pink for girls are the traditional color schemes for baby shower gift baskets. However, if you don’t know the gender of the baby, you can use a neutral color like yellow or green.










Football – A fun idea for Father’s Day. Make a general football themed basket or one for his favorite team.







Movie Night – This is perfect for the movie-lover in your life. Include some of their favorite movies, candies, popcorn and drinks.

Valentine’s Day – Pack in all the essential items you need for a romantic evening at home. You can even purchase gift basket supplies, like heart-shaped baskets for this special holiday.

Spa – Give the gift of relaxation with a spa gift basket. You can include items like bath bubbles, massage oils, eye masks, foot scrubs, lotions, and soaps. This is a great gift for Mother’s Day or a bridal shower.
