Gift Baskets For Men, Women and Babies - Follow These Easy Steps

Gift baskets are a great gift idea when you're not sure what to buy for a gift. Many are filled with delectable treats that most people will love to eat. Others are more specifically designed for women, men and babies. One of the best aspects is the basket itself, which can be used for storage around the home. Just follow these easy steps to find some great gift baskets.

Step 1 - Choose The Right Category

For Everyone

A safe choice for gift baskets is to choose one that is filled with food treats such as chocolates, sausages, cheese, pickles, cookies, tea, biscuits, crackers and candy. Here is my absolute favourite.

The Numi Tea Bamboo Flowering Tea Gift Set comes in a gorgeous mahogany case filled with 9 different flowering teas. The flowering teas are made from organic tea leaves sewn into a rosette bundle with cotton threads by an artisan. When the tea is steeped in boiling water, they blossom and expand into spectacular shapes. The tea petals come in starlight rose, dragon lily, lavender dream, flower jewel, jade fortune and jasmine pearl. It also comes with a glass teapot to make the tea in and observe the transformation.

For Women

There are many to choose from but here are two of my favourites.

The Burt's Bees Head to Toe Kit is so natural you might want to eat it. Burt's Bees is an all natural cosmetics company. Their basket contains items such as almond milk beeswax hand creme, lemon butter cuticle creme, citrus spice exfoliating shower soap, honey lip balm, and peppermint foot lotion. These are simply amazing products!

The Victorian Lace Gourmet Food Gift Basket and Spa Set is a wonderful assortment of products that she will love. It comes in an antique style wooden gift box with hand painted roses and a working, inlaid clock. Inside the box is bath gel, body lotion, body butter, body scrub, aromatherapy candle, floral stationary, tea cookies, tea, and a ceramic picture frame.

For Men

Men's baskets can also include food items that are geared more towards men such as beer nuts, beef jerky, smoked salmon, meats and cheeses. Here are some specific baskets that I've picked out.

The Golfer's Delight basket includes golf gadgets such as golf tees, divot tools, ball markers and snacks. The Fun for Men basket contains a unique Man Skills book with over 200 pages of hard to find facts and instructions every man should know, like how to start a fire with two sticks, how to get water from a cactus and more. The Tailgate Party basket has a Nerf football and a large assortment of snacks. The Men's Travel Tote comes in a dual zip toiletries bag which contains avocado hydrating shower gel, avocado soap, sisal soap lathering bag, wood body roller for massage, and snacks for the flight and airport.

For Babies

These gifts are usually given to parents that have newborns. Burt's Bees Bundle of Joy Baby Basket contains natural baby care products such as creams and powders that are made from all natural ingredients like apricot, buttermilk and cornstarch. They are SLS, phthalate and paraben free.

The Baby Bunch Basket is a beautiful bouquet made from baby clothes. Each item of clothing is folded to look like a flower and arranged in a bouquet with wooden rosebuds and leaves. The clothing is 100% cotton and includes such items as snapsuits, bibs, leggings, mitts, hat, socks and a receiving blanket.

Step 2 - Decide On Your Budget

Gift basket prices can range from $10 to over $100. Some online merchants offer free shipping for purchases over $25.

Trendy Personalized Gifts For Babies

It would be pleasing to parents if their baby is gifted with personalized gifts. This way, they could see the uniqueness of the gift since no one else has this same item. Only their beloved baby is given this personalized gift, hence, they would cherish it and be thankful for the giver.?

To make the gift for babies more appealing, try an innovation with trendy styles or accents. For instance, the trend is for silver chains. Accent your gift item with silver chains that has baby themes dangling from it. Although your materials are store-bought, you still have the freedom to assemble it and make your own design for the personalized gifts for babies. If you're a beginner at this, start with these two simple trendy gifts.

Silver-chained Booties

Materials:

Pair of booties, silver chain necklace, needle, silver thread, baby-themed dangles (can be taken from a little girl's fashion bracelet), and long-noosed pliers

Directions:

1. Make your own two-layered attachment of the chain around the upper part of the bootie. Measurement will depend on how you design the upper chain attachment, whether looped or straight.

2. Decide on the design of the upper chain attachment. Let the lower part loose.?

3. Once you have decided on the attachment design of the upper chain, sew it permanently on the booties. Use a small needle and silver thread. Make sure you have secured the chain firmly.

4. Using a long-noosed pliers, remove the dangles from a store-bought girl's fashion bracelet. Attach these on the loose lower chain. Make sure it is attached securely and that the dangles have a proper distance from each other.

These trendy silver-chained can be paired with a bonnet using the same design.

Silver-chained Bonnet

Materials:

Bonnet and the same materials as the booties

1. Use the same design for the chain that you used in the booties. Just make the design or loops bigger.

2. Attach the chain at least one and a half inches away from the rim of the bonnet. Sew it safely and?securely.

3. Attach the dangles, taking note of the distance between each dangle. It should not be too close to each other.

These are just two of the trendy personalized gifts for babies you can easily do at home. It is not messy and your attachment design and dangles will make this gift stand out. The important thing to keep in mind when making or choosing a baby gift is to see if it is safe or appropriate for their age.
