Valentines Day gift baskets are an ideal Valentines Day gift for anyone whether theyre celebrating the 14th of February with a loved one or single. Homemade Valentine gift baskets are a refreshing breath of air in the midst of suffocating holiday commercialism. Theyre thrifty but special offerings that any recipient is sure to love. It doesnt have to take a lot of money or back breaking effort to show that you care. All it takes is a little thoughtfulness and some creativity.
First of all, youll need some sort of container that will comprise the basket. Sure, theyre called Valentine gift baskets but it doesnt actually have to be one. You can recycle a glass jar or some sort of bowl if you like, anything that looks nice and is capable of holding things inside of it. But if youre a staunch traditionalist and you firmly believe that only a real basket will do, you might have some spare baskets lying around the house from other occasions, or you can purchase one at a local thrift store. Whatever container you choose, the next step is making it look pretty. Tie on some ribbons, or hang some knick knacks on it, or paint it, or add flowers or some other accessories. Since its Valentines Day, hearts and cupids or something else as lovey dovey will be appropriate.
Once you have your Valentines Day gift basket container all decorated, youll need some goodies to fill it with. Everybody loves chocolate, but it really depends on the recipients taste. Maybe they dont like chocolate, but they have a sweet tooth for cookies and brownies, or maybe they prefer alcoholic offerings. Its up to you to discern what they will and wont like. And its not like Valentine gift baskets have to be full of edible things. You might consider beauty products, music, books, mittensValentine gift baskets are highly versatile and the possibilities are limitless as long as they fit within the confines of your container.
When youve selected your contents, put them on some fancy bedding like some tissue paper or a handkerchief. To put the proverbial icing on the cake, you might include a personal handwritten Valentines Day note on top. A homemade Valentines Day card can easily be constructed from some construction paper and coloring pens. If you only have printer paper and ballpoint pens lying around, its the thought that counts, right?
