Gift Basket Ideas by Nikki Willhite Gift baskets have become very popular.  There is always something in them that is needed. Here are just a few theme ideas. Dessert Baskets Choose a dessert, and include the ingredients.  Choose from cookies and cakes, to ice cream sundaes.  Add items needed to make or serve the item, such as ice cream scoops or cookie cutters. For the Bath Include bubble bath, candles, body washes, and anything else that makes a bath more luxurious.  Add towels for an expensive gift. Games Young children love coloring books, small toys, crossword puzzles, and jigsaw puzzles.  You can also include small stuffed animals, easily found at thrift stores.  (You can bring them home and wash them.)  For a family gift, include games the whole family can play together. Grandparents Grandparents love pictures. They love music. They love anything made by their grandchildren- especially things that say "I Love You."  Grandparents do not usually want or need material things. They want sentimental gifts and will treasure them. Music Fill a music basket with CDs you have recorded yourself. You can download music from Amazon or Walmart.  You can also include music and techniques for relaxation. Nature Lovers Gardeners always need extra shovels, enjoy catalogs, books, and appreciate aprons and knee pads.  If they have a sense of whimsy, add garden ornaments and bird houses.   Pets People love their pets. They appreciate pet toys and treats.  Another great gift is to take a picture of their pets and give it to them.   Small Children Use a wide variety of items, such as crayons, colored pencils, finger paints, coloring books, paper, small balls, tiny toys, story books, stickers, etc.   About the Author: Nikki Willhite, mother of 3 and an interior design graduate, has been writing and publishing articles on the topic of frugal living for over a decade.
