Non-Traditional Gift Basket Holders

The term “gift basket” usually implies contents are placed in a basket, but there are times when it is perfectly acceptable to substitute other items in place of a basket. These unique gift baskets offer recipients the ability to use their holders and can be customized based on the size of the included contents. Since there are many alternative basket choices available, finding the right type of “basket” for a presentation is easy.

specialty gift baskets for women can be made using a purse or a tote bag as the presentation’s foundation. Purses and totes vary in size which makes them perfect for holding contents like bath/spa products, reading and leisure items, beauty/fragrance products and comfort items (robe, slippers, bed jacket). Items can be placed inside of the purse/tote and can be sealed with cellophane wrap purchased at a local craft store. To top off the presentation, a bow can be made or purchased using a themed ribbon.

Using a similar technique, unique gift baskets for children can be made. Whether it is making a beach themed tote, a baseball glove filled with goodies, or a kid gift basket using a backpack, children will definitely enjoy their contents as well as the content’s holder. Finding a hobby or interest the child enjoys will provide shoppers with an idea which to build the recipient’s kid gift basket. These great birthday gift ideas are also suitable as holiday gifts, end of school rewards or “just because” presentations.

Men can still enjoy specialty gift baskets packaged this way. From creating meat and cheese gift baskets using a tool or tackle box to packaging a special gift presentation in a reusable cooler, men will appreciate being able to recycle their presentation’s holder and at times the item will definitely be needed; especially for the man who is always on the go or is an avid hobbyist.

Gift Baskets for New Parents

When bringing a new baby home, parents are often welcomed to a host of gifts for the new baby. Because babies require lots of clothing, washing and feeding related items, parents gladly accept these gifts. Sometimes though, it is the parents themselves who could actually use a gift or two. That’s where online gift baskets come in. Sending a congratulations gift basket is perfect for conveying happy feelings. These gift baskets are most often sent for graduations, weddings and employment promotions but are also appropriate gift items for new parents.

Another welcomed idea is to send a fruit gift basket. Since many new parents are busy with baby duties, they may not be able to enjoy regular trips to the grocery store. Sending fresh fruit gift baskets allows parents to have healthy produce shipped right to their doors. Fruit gift baskets are also a great item to send to health conscious new parents. Because babies cause new parents to keep irregular schedules, these online gift baskets help parents receive a supply of natural energy and multiple vitamins.

Creating your own gift basket is easy and parents will appreciate the thoughtfulness. Assemble food items that are easy to prepare and healthy. If having knowledge regarding a couple’s preferences in food (their favorite types of food or favorite meal), try building a gift basket that includes those foods. Perishable items can be transported in a small cooler or a gift card can be strategically placed in the gift basket so parents can purchase the items themselves.

Depending on location sent, it may be more cost effective to send a pre-made gift basket rather than mailing an assembled one of your own. Whether choosing to send online gift baskets or assemble ones yourself, for new parents receiving any form of help and recognition is a great way to welcome their new arrival.
