Unique Containers For Making Gift Baskets

The sky is the limit when it comes to gift basket containers. Get creative and use a container that indicates an event, holiday, or the recipient's hobby. The container can be the most important part of the gift. For example, use an mixing bowl for a baker's basket or a champagne bucket for a bridal shower or wedding gift. Fill the containers with less costly items.

Most craft stores carry wicker baskets and wooden crates. Department stores like Walmart, Target, Sam's Club, etc., sell many low cost items. Dollar-type stores have containers, wrapping items, and lots of inexpensive gifts to fill your gift basket.

A nice idea for gift basket containers, which I have made several times, is using a plain, clear pitchers as the container. Place plenty of decorative shred in the bottom of the pitcher; not only will this help hold your gifts in place, but the items won't scratch the pitcher. Include scented candles, a mesh bath sponge, bars of soap, or any other bath items. If the pitcher is breakable, I present the gift in a shopping bag surrounded with lots of tissue paper.

Sets of stacking hat-type boxes are very nice for feminine gifts. You can fill each box with a different type of gift; for example, bath/spa items in one box, chocolates and sweets in another, and so forth.

Gift-type shopping bags work well, too. Simply place some kind of paper filler in the bottom, and then fill it with gift and food items.
