Some Unique Themes for Gift Giving

by tkwriter on July 20, 2009

Instead of paying extravagant prices for generic and predicable gift baskets that many people order, you can create your own and make it both impressive and personal for a fraction of the cost. Gift baskets make a delightful presentation for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, holidays and teacher gifts from the entire class. They are ideal when a group of people pitch in for a gift, such as for a baby shower. Choose a theme that best reflects the interests and tastes of the recipient and also fits your budget. For example, a huge sports fan might get a kick out of receiving items such as football cards or other sports cards along with some tailgate snacks, game tickets and a jersey for his favorite team. Here are just a few more ideas of themes to help you get started.

For those special people who love coffee, they will be sure to appreciate a coffee bean grinder and a nice assortment of whole coffee beans. Since many people cannot survive without coffee in the car, an insulated travel mug would be a nice addition. Put in some sticky treats such as pastries and coffee cake to go along with the jolt of caffeine and make their mornings a little bit sweeter. And not to forget our tea drinkers, a variety of teas can be found at many grocery stores or specialty shops. For the ladies, a porcelain tea set would be a lovely addition or include an attractive cup for the men. Also, be sure to include some delicious cookies or scones to make them feel really special.

A great family gift is a gift basket containing everything you need for a fun movie night. The kids will jump for joy if you include all the traditional movie candy, popcorn and soda. If you aren’t sure what genre or actor the recipient prefers, then simply toss in a gift card to the movie rental store. You might even include a movie trivia game that the family can enjoy while testing their movie memories.

A romantic gift for the bride and groom may include a picnic basket with all the necessities such as a blanket, plates and utensils. You simply must put in a bottle of champagne or wine, some beautiful glasses (perhaps ones for which they registered), some decadent chocolates and a CD with some music to set the mood.

Every busy mom is in desperate need of a little pampering. Get her out of the kitchen by giving her a gift card to her favorite restaurant or for a service that provides pre-assembled meals. She will unwind at the end of the day with some scented candles, fragrant body wash, and lotion. If you want to go all out, top if off with a gift card to a spa for a day of beauty.

After you have the theme and collected all the items, select a basket or other unique container, fill the bottom with tissue or colorful shredded paper and arrange the gifts in an attractive manner. Add a finishing touch and cover the entire basket with cellophane and tie with a beautiful bow. You’ll really show how much you care when the recipient is presented with a basket created especially for them.
