Here is a collection of some great gift basket theme ideas to help you create a unique gift basket that the receiver will really enjoy receiving.
Gift Basket Theme Ideas For Men
Yes, believe it or not, men can enjoy receiving gift baskets when filled with items they seem are useful or delicious to eat! You can’t go wrong with food items in it!
Sports Theme -Find out what their favorite team is or you could also just do a sport in general. For example choosing football as the general theme and then including items in the basket that are football themed such as an issue of Sports Illustrated magazine that perhaps has a huge article on football, or snacks he can eat during a football game such as pistachios, chips and salsa, maybe a few bottles of his favorite beer or gourmet ales that can be found at stores like Pier 1 Imports.
If they don’t drink beer buy some bottles of Gatorade instead.If you are doing a specific team theme then make sure to include an item or two that have the team logo on them such as a beer bottle opener with the San Diego Chargers logo on it.
Mister Fix-it - This basket can include a handy small flashlight, an allen wrench set like this Stanley hex key
The Fisherman - This is rather a fun theme. You can place items such as a pair of Line cutters, a good pocket knife, a thermos, some snacks like sunflower seeds, popcorn, trail mix.
The BBQ Master - You can’t go wrong with a BBQ gift basket. You can’t have a BBQ gift basket without grilling utensils, perhaps a rib rack
Gift Basket Theme Ideas For Women
Mani and Pedi theme -Spoil her by putting together a nail care gift basket. Include a nail file, foot soak, cuticle oil, cuticle pusher, nail clippers, cotton balls, a small bottle of acetone nail polish remover, maybe a book featuring nail art ideas and a nail polish color she would wear.
Tea for Two - You can head to garage sales and keep an eye out for people selling china sets and purchase a tea cup and saucer. If you have no luck at garage sales then usually Goodwill stores are filled with them. Buy some gourmet tea from a tea shop such as Teavana or even everyday teas like Bigelow would suite this basket theme. Gotta have some shortbread or gingersnap cookies too! Pick up some lemon butter or if it’s during the fall/winter season you can put some pumpkin butter in it which can be found in stores such as William’s Sanoma and Trader Joe’s. You can sometimes find sugar cubes with designs on them in specialty shops and sometimes they can be shaped like flowers and snowflakes! To top off the basket include a magazine that would interest her, maybe it’s Sunset magazine, Cooking Light or Ladie’s Home Journal. A prayer devotional is also a thoughtful addition to the basket.
Busy Mom Basket - The first thing to include in this gift basket is a homemade coupon in which you will give her a few free hours of baby-sitting so she can have a few hours to herself. Another coupon idea is a house cleaning coupon in which you can say that you will clean the kitchen and bathrooms etc. A 30 minute meal cookbook
I hope that these gift basket theme ideas have helped you get more creative with your baskets. If you want to take the easy route, you could shop for wicker picnic baskets and go the safe route!
