Pictured below are some of the baskets I’ve put together
over the last year for various occasions along with some tips for crafting your
own baskets.
If you are putting together a corporate gift basket remember
these simple tips:
- Pick a theme – This will
make buying the contents for the baskets so much easier. Popular themes are movie night, supplies
for a relaxing, or wine baskets.
Once you pick your key element, like a bottle of wine, browse the
aisles for items that would pair nicely like chocolates, wine glasses and
glass charms. Pick items of various
sizes to help make your basket look balanced and full.
- Add the company logo –
Adding the logo is like including the card. People need to know who the gift is
from. You can create a custom tag,
add a sticker to the largest item in the basket or incorporate items that
have already been engraved with the company logo.
- Remember the bling! – Don’t
forget the small stuff like basket filler, bows, and other accents that go
with your theme. For example, I
like using fake grapes to compliment my wine baskets. These small touches will make your
basket look professional and appealing.
If you have to make baskets often I would add:
- Keep an eye out – Always be
on the look out for items on sale, discounted baskets, and fun theme
ideas.
