| by Jennifer Shircel | December 07, 2005
Havent you always wanted to give someone a beautiful gift basket, but didnt have a clue how to put one together? Gift baskets are such a wonderful gift and can be given for any occasion. Let me tell you how to make such an amazing gift basket even you wont believe youve made it!
First, start with your basket. It doesnt need to be your typical wicker basket, try using a toy dump truck and fill up the bucket, or use a laundry basket, a plastic container or even a purse, depending on the occasion and who its for.
Next, find your fillers. Make sure that what you buy will fit inside your basket. You want the basket to look like its overflowing. Great fillers are small plants, disposable cameras, a book or a bottle of champagne (again, depending on who its for).
Now for the fun part decorating! Start arranging your items into the basket. Make sure to put the bigger/taller items in the back and the smaller items in the front. You can use easter grass or any other stuffing to prop things up or fill in the holes if you need to. Now tie on a bow and Dont Forget The Card!!
