10 DIY Gift Basket Ideas

  1. Blind date with book basket. Wrap a bunch of books (choose a fav genre of the person) and fill a basket with books-to-be-read.
  2. Fruit basket. Practical and always welcome.
  3. Flower basket. Pretty and can be festive when you pick seasonal flowers.
  4. Cookie basket. Can we say yum? Chocolate chip cookies are always a hit.
  5. Spa basket. Body soap, lotion, some face towels can be a blissful gift.
  6. Movie lovers. Popcorn, bowl, chocolate, candle.
  7. Baking basket. Spatula, cake mix, brownie mix, cookie mix, mixing bowl.
  8. Coffee (or tea) lovers basket. Sample size hot drinks, mug, spoon, biscotti.

Don’t have a basket on hand? No problem. You can substitute your gift container and still have a brilliant DIY gift.
