To create your own custom gift baskets you will need:
- Baskets (can be purchased online, or at a craft or discount stores)
- Decorative lining (fabric, craft straw, Easter grass)
- Gifts (as long as it fits, it's up to you)
- Ribbon and/or silk flowers
- Cellophane (clear or colored) or shrink wrap
From there it's pretty simple, line the basket, arrange the gifts, decorate with ribbon and/or flowers, and wrap. (If you use cellophane, you will need ribbon to tie the top.)
Some great ideas for custom gift baskets, most of which can be found one the web, include:
- For Wine Lovers: a couple of bottles of recipient's favorites, corkscrew, two nice glasses, complimenting cheeses

- For cats or dogs: treats, blanket, toys, shampoo, brush
- For Baby: receiving blankets, diapers, baby powder, baby brush, pacifiers, rattles, soft toys (recommended for infants)
- For Chocolate Lovers: an assortment from different countries
- Movie Night: a couple of DVDs, microwaveable popcorn, "movie theater" candy, a couple of 20oz sodas
- Get Well Soon: flowers (unless the recipient is allergic), fruit, instant chicken soup, tissue, cough/throat drops, crossword puzzle book, DVD
The possibilities are endless!
