Make Your Own Unique Gift Basket

Because I enjoy giving unique gifts, I started putting these gift sets together years ago.  They are always a big hit. 

They make great Christmas gifts, birthday gifts, Mothers Day or Fathers Day gifts, Valentines Day gift, house warming gifts or even a wedding gift.  They are an excellent alternative to the traditional Easter basket.

These gifts are very easy to put together.  Simply choose several related individual items and a corresponding trash can.

How to Begin

Stuff the bottom of the trash can with butcher paper, newspaper or tissue paper.

Children's Gift

What better gift for a child than a collection of Dr. Seuss DVD's and books. They will love it and have hours of entertainment.

Included in this gift set are 2 videos, 2 small books to read, and 1 medium size interactive book.



Other items that could be included:

  • Plush Toy
  • Christmas Tree Ornament
  • Dr. Seuss Hat
  • Dr. Seuss Socks, Boxer Shorts or T-shirt

    Placement

    Don't hesitate to tape items together to make a prettier display.

    Peanuts or Snoopy Gift

    Who doesn't love Snoopy?!

    This is an awesome gift for the Peanuts fan. The many options for this gift made choosing difficult. I selected a Holiday video collection that includes "Charlie Brown Christmas", "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" and "Charlie Brown Thanksgiving." I added the "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" book which includes stickers and two additional pocket size books.



    Other options include:

  • Christmas Tree Ornaments
  • Charlie Brown Figurines
  • Peanuts Coffee Mugs
  • Peanuts T-shirts

    A Gift for the Bird Watcher

    This is a very simple, fun gift to put together. I chose a book about attracting birds to your yard and bird identities. I included bird food and binoculars. Once the bird watching gift recipient places the food in their yard, then they can sit back in the comfort of their home and watch the birds gather. Using their binoculars, they can get a close up look at a bird and then identify and read about it in their new book.



    Other items that could be included in a Bird Watcher Gift:

  • Coffee Mug
  • Coffee or tea
  • Bird Christmas Ornament
  • Video about bird watching

    Finishing Touch

    Place the gift set in a large cellophane bag. Tie the top with a pretty ribbon or bow.

      It's always great to make something nice out of something that is usually dull and boring!

      "Snoopy Flying Ace Trash Can" is very cute for a little kid's room.

      This is a fantastic idea. Just the other day,I was wishing I had another trash receptacle but those things are pretty expensive so I make due but how wonderful if someone gave it to me instead of a gift basket (I have enough baskets).
