DIY Christmas Gift Basket Ideas
It is not easy to select the Christmas gift that will please to everyone: we never know if the
gift will be appreciated by its recipient.
How many times have you received a gift that is never emerged out of the cupboard in which you
putted it?
I myself received hundreds of gifts that I do not use, especially at Christmas Time. And I do
not mention the decorative objects, that I do not know what to do with because they do not match the decoration of my house or simply because I have no place to put them on.
This year, try to give useful and/or consumable Christmas Gifts. By giving something useful and
consumable such as skin care products or food products, you are sure that your gift will be
appreciated.
Christmas Gift Baskets are the solution.
Unfortunately, ready-made gift baskets can be expensive and we sometimes have to spend a lot of
money to buy them without being sure that all the contained products will please.
So, what about a homemade Christmas gift basket? It is an excellent way to save money on the
cost of the basket and products included. You even do not have to buy the basket.
Gift baskets can be easily made out of wooden boxes, briefcases made of leather or vinyl, or
shoe boxes nicely decorated...
If the products you plan to include in the basket are too expensive, you will be able to reduce
their number and save more money.
Here are some Christmas gift basket ideas.
"Rustic Gourmet":
Varnish a wooden wine case, use a "rustic oak" tinted varnish
Fill the case with decorative straw or unbleached silk or crepe paper
Add the following products:
- Three bottles of wine (red, rose and white),
- A pot of fat liver,
- 2 legs duck confit,
- A pot of deer pate,
- A pot of wild boar,
- Three jars of wine jelly (red, rose and white),
- A pot of onion confit,
- A pot of truffles.
Economic Option:
- A bottle of sweetened white wine,
- A pot of deer paté,
- A pot of wild boar,
- A jar of wine jelly
"I Love Chocolate":
Use a metallic box,
Fill it with pink silk or crepe paper
Add the following products:
- A bottle of chocolate liquor,
- 250 g Leonidas chocolates,
- Chocolate bars - Côte d'Or Special Edition,
- A natural cocoa box,
- Boxes of fruit, flower or citrus flavoured sugar
"Espana Por Favor":
In a metallic basket, place red and yellow silk or crepe paper
Add the following products:
- A bottle of Ponche,
- A bottle of "Sangre de Toro" wine
- A pata negra ham or serrano ham,
- A chorizo,
- A "Manchego" cheese,
- A bottle of Spanish olive oil,
- Almond Turron,
- An assortment of Christmas cookies (Surtido de Navidad)
"Provence" (skin care):
Cover a shoebox with Special Christmas gift wrap
Line the inside with colorful silk paper
Surround the box with a wide colored ribbon
Put a towel of the same color
Add the following products:
- A Marseilles scented soap,
- A shower gel,
- A box of bath salts,
- A bottle of body scented oil,
- A bottle of floral water,
- A horsehair glove
"Belgian Beer Discovery" Gift Basket:
Use a wooden shelf and put the bottles on it. Belgium produces more than 680 different sorts of
high quality beers that satisfy all tastes, the choice is yours...
You can create an infinite themed gift baskets set; do not hesitate to create a gift basket for
whiskey, cigar, great music, book amateurs... you are only limited by your imagination.
