Gift baskets
It can be a bit stressful when buying your friends, family, and in-laws a gift. The perfect present no matter the occasion (without resorting to gift cards) is a personalized gift basket hand-packed with fillers that are creative, budget friendly, thoughtful, practical, edible, all natural, silly, and basically anything you feel fit. Since I am always super conscious of people’s wants and needs, gift baskets are my go to: a tailored gift basket is the perfect touch for any event or holiday– such as get well, new baby, congratulations, birthday, Christmas, housewarming, etc. You can also tailor them to personalities: for the movie lover, the health nut, the spa queen, and foodie. And if you aren’t sure how to tailor based on the event or person, there are a few default go-to’s that are a safe bet to always have on hand. A few of my favorites are polar fleece sheets, Poo-pourri, glade wax melts & warmer, chicken poop lip junk, keurig, coffee mug–and as a signature touch, I’m known for always including their pet by tossing in a toy or treat into the gift basket. These thoughtful, handpicked, simple gift baskets are luxurious looking, but don’t leave your wallet feeling light—they’re a creative DIY that has everyone at the party talking. Some tips to follow when building a reasonably priced item that doesn’t lack in presentation:
- Buy in bulk! BJS, Costco, Sam’s club, etc… take the bulk packages and break up the items to put into more than one basket!
- Stacking Coupons! You can use a manufacturing coupon along with a store coupon so that you never have to pay full price… or even just the advertised sale! SCORE!
- Shop the clearance racks, aisles and end caps… nobody will ever know!
- Shop Big Box Stores on Black Friday & Boxing Day! You’re bound to get great deals at the end of the season… so save those holiday items for next years gift baskets when the same items go back to full price!
- Buy one get one promotions…. I mean, two baskets for the price of one… need I say more? Or…you can keep one for yourself for being a savvy shopper!!!
- Amazon and QVC always have great deals… just make sure to order in advance before you need the basket! PS, you can get a lot of fun stuff in bulk also
- Shop Local! A lot of local second hand shops will offer brand new items rather than just used ones (as their name suggests—it’s just a trick!) Perfect examples? Half Price Books and Cleveland Flea.
- All in all, never pass up a deal! Stock pile it for later!
Keep in mind that these are just beginning guidelines to budget friendly gift baskets and how to never pay full price—because we all know that getting a good deal makes gifting a luxurious gift feel even better!
