A Personal Touch Turns Unique Gift Baskets into the Perfect Gift

by BasketGirl

Last month one of my husband’s close business associates got married. For two months before the joyous event I stressed out about what to get them. I racked my brain for an original, unique item that would be a delightful surprise. I wanted our gift to them to represent how happy we were for them.

I must have gone to a dozen stores and spent hours sifting through toasters, bed sheets, and bath towels. None of these items were what I was looking for. After going home and searching online, I saw many suggestions that were more what I was searching for. One person had suggested a gift basket full of chocolates, which was a nice idea, but I put my own twist on it and made it into a wine gift basket.

I felt it was the perfect gift for them. I knew they enjoyed good wines, and I thought this would set the perfect mood for romance. It seemed wonderful for a pair of newlyweds! I used a picnic basket and added everything they would need for a nice wine and cheese tasting: two bottles of wine, a pair of wine glasses and charms, a corkscrew and some gourmet cheeses and crackers.

It was surprisingly simple to assemble this elegant gift. My husband was very impressed when he saw the basket. He thought I must have spent a small fortune on something so extravagant. He was delighted when I told him this was my own creation. He was ready to finance a gift-basket business of my own! I was very proud of the gift I’d made for our happy couple, and shocked at how simple it was to do.

After the wedding, we became quite close friends with the couple. They told us they had taken my basket along on their honeymoon, and that they hoped to take the picnic basket to the park with their children. It was a nice feeling to know that they appreciated this gift and that they would long enjoy it’s use.

I’m planning on making more of these gifts for my friends and family. I don’t want to share the news of my new creative enthusiasm, because I want them to see it first hand when I give them a gift basket. Gift baskets are very versatile gifts and quite appropriate for people of any age or life-style. My husband wants me to make him one for our next anniversary, so I’ll have to be extremely creative to think of just the right surprise to add!
