Creating Hand Made Valentines Day Gift Baskets
Valentines Day is the one holiday that allows you to show your special someone just how much you care about them. For most people, it is a time to buy jewelry and chocolates; but what if jewels are too expensive, and your special someone is allergic to chocolate? A gift basket is the perfect solution in cases like this, or when the person in question isn't your significant other but you still want to do something special to show them you care. If those Valentines Day gift baskets are made by hand, the sentiment will mean even more.
Why Hand Made Gift Baskets?
Hand made Valentines Day gift baskets are more special than you can imagine. Sure, anyone can run down to the florist and order a pre-made gift basket. But when you give baskets that you have put the time and effort into creating yourself, the recipient can see that you truly care; and will feel even the more special because of it.
To make your hand made Valentines Day gift baskets, the first thing you want to do is choose a theme. Try to plan your theme around the person you are making the basket for. For example, if the person you are making the gift baskets for has something in particular that they collect, such as teddy bears; you could easily plan your basket to include only those things that revolve around teddy bears.
Once you've planned the theme for your Valentines Day gift baskets, pick out several little things that follow that theme. Add one large item, such as a special Valentines Day teddy bear; and surround it with the smaller items you have chosen. Your Valentines Day gift baskets can also include small boxes of the recipient's favorite candies, as well as a few bunches of their favorite flowers.
Once you've placed everything into your Valentines Day gift baskets that you want, take some pretty red or pink cellophane sheets and center the basket in the middle of a sheet. Draw the cellophane up around the basket, and tie at the top with several strands of curly ribbon.
These Valentines Day gift baskets are quite simple to make, and don't cost an arm and leg to put together. Since handmade baskets are such a thoughtful gift, why not create one for everyone in your family? Even children will be pleased with hand made Valentines Day gift baskets when they include small toys and candies for them to discover!
