Non-Traditional Gift Basket Holders

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010
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.
