subject: Why Wooden Baskets Can Make Perfect Holiday Gifts [print this page] With the holiday season fast approaching, now is the time to put together your gift list. Are you looking for new ideas? Tired of the standards? A tie for dad, perfume or jewelry for mom and a sports jersey for your friend Bob? Then how about wooden baskets filled with items you know they will love and treasure for a long time to come.
There are many different baskets that you can create to reflect the recipients likes and hobbies. For the gardener on your list, how about a basket filled with different seeds or bulbs for next spring. If there is a certain tool you know they have had their eye on, you can through that in too. Or how about some gardening gloves? And for the feminine gardener on your list, make it fun my throwing in some hand cream with those seeds and bulbs. And you may want to suggest that the garden basket itself can be used as a planter or a flower pot.
Do you have a wine enthusiast on your list? Instead of paying someone at your wine store to put a basket together for you or buy one pre packaged, make one yourself! Pick out a few bottles you know they like and maybe throw in some wine charms or even some decorative coasters. And dont forget the non perishable food that will go well with the wine you have selected.
And what about the sports nut on your list that is obsessed with a certain team. Sure, a jersey is nice but why not fill a wooden basket with different items that bares their teams logo. Cups, snack bowls, even a blanket with the team name and logo arranged in a basket could make a great and unique gift.
We all have a lady on our list that loves to pamper herself. Why not create your own aroma therapy basket and fill it with things that you know she will love and use. Accessories can include bath crystals, lotions, shower gels and a bath sponge. You could even include some hand towels that will match their bathroom, candles and bubble bath.
And who wouldnt appreciate a gourmet food basket put together by you! Pick out a certain type of cracker you like, some dried fruit or spreads. Maybe throw in a bottle of champagne and a couple of glass flutes.
The other thing to keep in mind is that wooden baskets are attractive and very functional. When the recipient has used the gardening items or the gourmet food items, these baskets are great for storage any where in the house. Why, your aroma therapy basket can be use for just that a storage center for all their aroma therapy items!
Wooden bushel baskets can also be used for storage in a garage or a tool shed. They can also make lovely decorative displays for your front porch, your deck, around your yard or even in your garden. They sure can come in handy when it is time to pick the tomatoes, cucumbers and squash you planted!
And when you are putting your wooden basket together as a gift, dont be afraid to pretty them up. Tie on some decorative bows and ribbons, slash on some sparkle, and throw in a Christmas ornament or two. Even personalize it by adding their name to the basket itself.
So get creative! Put together a wooden basket with trinkets, tools food and spirit. Not only will you be giving your recipient a gift you know they will like, but also a versatile wooden basket that can be re-used for storage and decorative displays.
