Aloha! Send That Special Someone A Hawaiian Themed Gift Basket
Everybody dreams of a vacation in Hawaii. However, a Hawaiian vacation is not always a possibility for many people. Therefore, if you are in need of a unique gift idea, why not create a unique Hawaiian themed gift basket? The person who receives this gift basket will feel like they are on that special vacation in beautiful Hawaii.
What You Will Need
In order to create a really nice Hawaiian themed gift basket, you will need a few basic things. To begin, find a large, light colored basket in any shape. Next, choose some items to place inside the basket. You can begin by placing a large, fresh pineapple in the middle of the basket. Surround the pineapple with other Hawaiian based items such as a beautiful Hawaiian lei, a bottle of suntan lotion, a nice Hawaiian shirt and a bottle of Hawaiian wine and a few glasses.
A Great Going Away Gift
If you know someone who is going to take their dream vacation to Hawaii, you can give them a Hawaiian themed gift basket as a going away gift. Create the basket in the same manner, but include things that would be useful for their trip. These items could include things such as a bottle of suntan lotion, a pair of sunglasses, a puzzle book or a novel (to work on or read on the plane), a beach hat, and a beach towel. A Hawaiian themed gift basket would be a very nice going away gift for those special friends.
A Twist On A Great Idea
There are many things you could do with a Hawaiian themed gift basket. You can add anything Hawaiian to this type of basket. Some other unique and exciting ideas include a few Hawaiian Punch drinks, a small pig figurine or toy (since pig roasts are very popular in Hawaii), a grass skirt, a coconut, or even a small bag of sand and seashells. The possibilities are endless with this type of gift basket.
To Top It Off
When you are done filling your Hawaiian themed gift basket, you will want to decorate around the outside of the basket before wrapping it in cellophane. Go to the local party store and purchase some luau decorations. Glue them around the basket in a unique way such as wrapping a lay of flowers around the handle and gluing large flowers or other decorations around the base of the basket. Once you are done decorating, wrap the entire basket in clear cellophane and put a huge bow on it.
