I love putting together gift baskets. Especially themed gift baskets! This is the one I did for my sister Jordan for Christmas last year. The theme was "Jordan". I included a bunch of her favorite things!
I put together some ideas for a Valentine's Day Gift Basket! Then see my list of gift basket tips below!
For Kids: 1. Basket 2. Pixy Stix - Perfect to stand up in the back of the basket 3. Kids Heart Socks 4. Magic Scratch Hearts: I can tell you from personal experience, these are fun to do! 5. 3D Fidget Stress Ball Heart Shaped: I can't tell you why, but they will love this 6. Metallic Markers: They will love markers that are different than their usual ones! 7. Tall Valentine's Themed Memo Pads (to use their markers on!) 8. A super soft, cute stuffed animal holding a heart 9. Flashing Light Up Heart Necklace 10. Valentine's Day Punching Balloon 11. Get these as filler for the basket 12. Lots of candy!
For Her:
1. Gift Basket 2. A new book 3. bubble bath 4. eye mask 5. slippers 6. pashmina 7. gold plated heart earrings 8. chocolate 9. cinnamon heart candy 10. jelly bean heart candy
Here are a few tips:
1. Find a basket at Goodwill - they always have a great supply!
2. Put something in the bottom of the basket, so your items set higher. A small box, crumpled up paper - whatever you have that works (and can be tossed). Then put tissue paper over the base item.
3. Arrange items by height, taller things in the back - small things up front.
4. Add a cello bag to keep everything contained and to make it look professional.
5. When buying items - look for things that are cohesive - that go with the theme and are visually cohesive - for the kids basket, I went with fun/colorful/hearts theme and for the ladies basket I went with red/comforting/luxury.
6. Tie it up with red tulle ribbon - that's one of my secrets of gift wrapping! It looks amazing and it's easy to work with.
If you do a gift basket for Valentine's Day - post a pic on Instagram and use #LPGiftBasket - I'd love to see it!
