Bowls -- Unique Gift Basket Containers
Bowls of many kinds -- stainless steel, ceramic, plastic, wooden, and collapsible -- make unique gift basket containers for a variety of themes, particularly those related to food. Stainless steel makes a very usable container and easy to use as a container for gifts. They can also be good choices for a budget-priced gift basket. The dollar store near me has an assortment; many of which are unbreakable. These stores also have kitchen towels, potholders, and numerous kitchen items to keep your budget down.
A non-food gift basket idea is as a container to hold candles, potpourri, and other scented gift items. Choose one that works with the decor of the recipient or choose clear glass which works for all decors, Include a vial of essential oil to freshen the potpourri.
Use as a container for a bridal shower gift or for anyone who is setting up a kitchen. Fill it with an assortment of spices and a small cookbook. First, line it with a towel or anything that will keep it from getting scratched.
TIPS:
- Collapsible bowls are unique, unbreakable, and particularly nice for those who live in limited quarters or for boaters or campers.
- Around the holidays, many stores (supermarkets, drug stores, etc.) carry decorative plastic dishes. These are inexpensive and work well for lightweight gift items.
- Choose a small container and fill it with individually wrapped candies or other treats for a hostess gift.
- In addition to cloth towels, line with crumpled or shredded paper; paper napkins and tissue paper work well, too
- Dog and
cat bowls
are great containers for cat and dog theme gift baskets.
