Finding out your recipient's preferred scents beforehand will also help you get the best pampering gift basket.

Tips For Creating Your Themed Gift Basket
Build Your Own Gift!
It's important to consider budget when you're building your Christmas gift basket. It's easy to go crazy and spend too much money. Consider picking up items throughout the year to put in your themed gift baskets. Keep an eye out especially for bulky objects that don't cost a lot of money, like scarves and towels.
The Basket
It can be a bit tricky to get a basket, but not if you know where to look. Keep an eye out at thrift stores for low-cost baskets. Other places to look are big box stores and craft stores. Make sure your basket is the right size (not so big that the items are dwarfed, and not so small that the items don't fit
The Fillings
Here's where your imagination comes in! Once you've picked a unique theme for your gift basket (see below for ideas), you can buy items that relate back to that theme.
Extras
To spruce up your basket, you can line it with a blanket, a piece of fabric, or wrapping paper. You can also wrap the basket in cellophane when you're done, and add a bow if you like.

- Gift baskets are what you make of them. With a little bit of effort they can be amazing gifts for anyone on any occasion. Inversely, little to no effort will result in a tacky collection of gifts that will, at best, be regifted as soon as possible, haha.

- I agree. A heartfelt gift basket takes time to plan, and can't be thrown together at the last moment.
