Gift Basket #1

The sweet treat basket

This basket is filled with a variety of sweet treats, including baked cookies, cocoa mix, kettle corn, and a cookie mix. If you choose to include a cookie mix, I recommend adding a recipe card to the basket. To keep the baked cookies fresh, make sure to store them in an airtight container. You can also add some marshmallows and other toppings such as cinnamon, sprinkles, and syrups to the cocoa mix. Additionally, this basket includes a favorite mug with a spoon.

The tea lover basket

This basket is an ideal gift for tea lovers. It includes some loose-leaf tea in a glass container with a ribbon, honey, a set of tea cups, a wooden spoon, and a recipe card for a favorite tea. Additionally, the basket comes with some tea biscuits to complement the tea experience.

The coffee lover basket

This basket is one of my personal favorites to create, as I’m a coffee drinker myself. It includes a French press, a bag of coffee beans, a coffee cup, a coffee creamer, and a set of K-cups.

This basket is an ideal choice for those who want to indulge in some self-care. It includes a cozy house robe, comfortable slippers, a scented candle, bath salts, relaxing music, aromatherapy oils, and a facial mask. You can also add a book to the basket to make it even more special.

5. The wine-lover basket

This basket is perfect for wine enthusiasts. It includes a corkscrew, foil cutter, decanter, aerator, and wine tote. You can also add wine glasses and a bottle of wine to the basket. To complement the wine experience, don’t forget to add cheese, crackers, and grapes. Please note that some of these items may not be suitable for shipping and are best given in person.

  3. These are great ideas! I got a coffee lovers basket similar to the one that you described one year from a friend of mine, and it was one of my favourite gifts ever. I LOVE my coffee and she took the time to find some flavoured coffee that I hadn't tried yet. It was all incredible and the perfect treat to kick back and relax with following the rush of the holidays.
