Gift Baskets for Women




As you can imagine, there are a lot of companies out there that sell gift baskets for women. We would like to give you some ideas on how to choose an appropriate gift basket for her or how to make your own gift basket. First of all, think about the things the recipient likes. Jot ideas on a piece of paper as you brainstorm. Here are some questions to ask yourself to get started. Does she like coffee or tea? Is she a wine connoisseur? Does she like to garden? Read? Perhaps she is a movie buff or an animal lover. Now make a list of things you think she might like to have or enjoy, but would probably not buy for herself. Spa products, such as creams, lotions, candles and so on are great for gift baskets. How about specialty foods, like oils, vinegars, chocolates, etc? Think outside the box too - don't limit yourself to typical ideas. Sometimes the most unique gift baskets are made with an unusual combination of items!

Once you come up with a theme you like, think about an appropriate container - it doesn't actually have to be a basket! In our opinion, the best gift baskets for women are made in containers and baskets that can be used for something else later - this reminds your recipient of the original gift! Decide whether you want to purchase a pre-made gift basket or whether you will make your own custom gift basket.

If you are still struggling, here are a few of our favorite ideas for gift baskets for women.

The first one is the Spa Gift Basket. This is usually a hit with just about every woman. This basket can contain anything from soap, lotions and creams, to candles, aromatherapy products, and comfort products like slippers and robes. If you are buying pre-made, make sure that the scent of lotions, and other products is one that is appealing to her (if you know!). If you are buying for someone who has fragrance allergies or sensitivities, be sure to buy unscented or natural products. You can even do specialized spa baskets like pedicure baskets, with foot soak, exfoliator, lotion, files, clippers and polish. What would best suit her?

The next gift basket for women is a Fireside Basket. This gift basket would contain items to enjoy while sitting by the fire. Perhaps a book, tea, teapot and cup and saucer, gourmet cookies, a cozy fleece lap blanket, a pair of warm slippers. Think warm, cozy, relaxation. You might do a coffee basket instead of tea or even hot chocolate.

Make your own gift basket for a Scrapbooker. Fill a gift basket with all kinds of scrapbooking papers and supplies, scissors, adhesives, edgers, and so on. Perhaps the basket itself could be a scrapbooking organization tote.

For unique gift baskets for gardeners, try a Gardening Gift Basket in the form of a mini-wheel barrel or a large, beautiful garden pot. Fill with gardening items like gloves, mini tools, seeds, bulbs, sun screen, nail brush and hand cream. Often, you will find these types of gift baskets also contain gourmet treats for the gardener to enjoy also.

Movie Gift Baskets make unique gift baskets for women who love the movies. Choose a cool container like a popcorn bucket or a bright bin that you might put candy in. Inside, have microwave popcorn, her favorite movie candies, a movie rental gift card (or buy a DVD)and bottle of her favorite beverage. You could combine this with dinner out and a movie in!
