- a universal gift. It is suitable for weddings, children's parties, family celebrations, corporate events and visits. This design will make even the most ordinary sets and simply scattered items a beautiful and stylish souvenir.
The filling and design of holiday baskets depends, first of all, on the holiday in the context of which you intend to give them. Let's consider several classic and original options.
Wedding baskets
This is perhaps one of those cases when choosing a gift can be especially difficult. If the newlyweds do not have any special wishes, you can always arrange a gift basket yourself or with the help of professionals, which on the table with gifts will look like a cherry on the cake.
The most suitable filling for such a set would be the traditional combination of a bottle of champagne or other alcoholic drink, sweets and flowers. When ready for gifting, such a basket is a real work of art, and when taken apart, it is a source of small joys. A bottle of alcoholic drink and candy can be saved for holidays and romantic dinners for a young family, and the flowers left over from decorating the basket can be used to decorate the interior.
In such cases, it is traditional to pay attention to the design of the bottle as part of the set. Gift champagne is not necessarily the most expensive; it can also be a bottle of a good drink at an affordable price, decorated especially for the wedding. Bottles decorated with ribbons, flowers and paintings are opened directly at the wedding or later, during one of the special moments, for example, during the honeymoon.
You can also add a couple of glasses to the basket, decorated in accordance with the style of the bottle. In this case, be careful. You should either agree in advance with the newlyweds that you are in charge of finding suitable wedding glasses and ask them about their preferences, or make the design of the glasses more universal so that they can keep them as a memory of the wedding day and use them during the wedding anniversary celebration. If the newlyweds traditionally broke their glasses after leaving the registry office, but did not think about the second pair, such a gift will be especially suitable.
Baskets of sweets also deserve special attention. Each candy in such a basket is decorated separately, for example, placed in the center of a paper or textile bud. As a result, you get not a simple set of sweets, but an amazing and delicious bouquet. Wedding baskets can have an unusual shape. For example, a ship made of candies will symbolize the entry of the bride and groom in full sail into a new happy life.
Another option for an unusual set is a candy cake. Surely the wedding cake will be prepared in advance and eaten at the festive table. But a cake made from sweets is more durable; it will allow the newlyweds to enjoy the “sweet life” for much longer.
New Year's baskets
In the case when you need to give a gift to the whole family that you are going to visit, when you need to congratulate your employees on the upcoming New Year without offending anyone, a New Year's basket is perfect.
When decorating a gift, do not forget that it should not only be useful, but also please the eye and create a New Year's mood. For example, gift champagne decorated in Christmas style, a beautiful Christmas ball or any other Christmas tree decoration, sweets, chocolate, as well as funny little things like sparklers, firecrackers, calendars and symbols of the coming year are perfect for this.
You might argue that these types of gifts are not everyone's cup of tea. In fact, this is one of the most neutral options that will suit almost everyone if you choose wisely. The basket should contain unnecessary things that will only collect dust at home. A gift of champagne or another beautiful bottle of alcoholic drink will certainly take its rightful place on the holiday table, fruits, sweets and other products will be eaten during the New Year holidays, toys will be hung on the Christmas tree, and calendars will be hung on the wall. You can even choose an edible symbol of the year.
Baskets for children
Sometimes we have to attend children's parties or visit people who have children. Giving gifts to children is always a pleasure, and a beautifully decorated basket in which the child will find many pleasant little things will clearly make them happy. Before you start creating such a gift, do not forget to consult with the children's parents. This is necessary, first of all, in order to find out whether the child is allergic to any foods and whether he can eat everything. At the same time, you will learn about the interests of the child.
In a children's basket it is worth putting, for example, children's champagne - lemonade in a beautiful package. If your parents or you are categorically against lemonade, the main “vertical” of the children’s basket could be, for example, a pineapple, a beautiful flower or an interesting toy.
In general, in the case of children, you shouldn’t limit your imagination. Put there a soft toy, candy, chocolate, cookies, an educational game, a cute souvenir, a small construction set, a model car, children's accessories, beautiful colored pencils, a book - basically, anything. If your child has a hobby, the choice will become even easier. For example, add something to the basket that the child collects - a hero figurine, stamps, stickers, magazines - and there will be no limit to the child’s happiness.
An equally interesting option is a ship made of candies, which we already wrote about earlier. In general, baskets of sweets can have different shapes and designs. The main thing is that children will probably like it.
Gift baskets for friends and loved ones
You may think that such a gift would not be suitable for friends. Let's say right away that this is not true. Yes, knowing a person’s interests, it will be strange to give him, for example, candy when they expect something more personal from you. But even here everything can be presented properly. For example, you can put discs with interesting films, music, computer games, a set of your favorite cosmetics, wardrobe and interior items, accessories, a gadget that your friend has long dreamed of, just a few little things and souvenirs that will say something to a loved one. And sweets, flowers and other details will be a pleasant addition and an unusual way to decorate a gift.
Decoration of gift baskets
Decorating gift baskets involves more than just wrapping paper and plastic, as you might think. No, basket decor can become a real masterpiece with the appropriate approach. Feel free to express your feelings, show off your artistic talents, or just make a joke. Anything is suitable for this - decorative figures, serpentine, ribbons and bows, sparkles and rhinestones, multi-colored mesh, even simple newspaper and rough wrapping paper, twine and sealing wax. While you are getting carried away with decorating the basket, do not forget that the packaging should be in the same style as the gift itself, and also reflect the taste and preferences of the recipient.

Choosing a gift is almost always a rather difficult task. And while close people can choose something related to their hobbies, choosing surprises for strangers becomes a real headache.
An excellent solution in this situation would be gift baskets - universal gifts for any occasion! Their versatility is manifested in the fact that you can pack anything in them - from, to, and hygiene products.
Therefore, today we will tell you about the secrets of decorating gifts in a basket, as well as the baskets themselves. And of course, a small master class on weaving baskets with your own hands awaits you!
For the beloved
This surprise is worth choosing if you haven’t yet studied your beloved’s tastes well enough, or if you just want to please her.
You can fill the basket with flowers, sweets, etc. - a win-win combination that any woman will like. The bottom can be covered with rose petals or other flowers.
Colored ribbon for gift wrapping will help you decorate a basket with sweets. Tie the basket crosswise and tie at the top.
For management and partners
Such a present already falls into the official category, so it needs to be made as neutral as possible - elite alcohol, delicacies and possibly a package of good cigars (). You can also decorate it beautifully. Here are good options:
It’s better to put it all in a regular straw basket.
For children
It is best to give children a basket of sweets as a gift - line the bottom and fill the basket with other confectionery products. You can complement the surprise with a small toy or paper figures.
As a present for the little ones, you can put in the basket what the child’s parents most need now - diapers, baby food, etc.
For Easter
Speaking about gift baskets, one cannot fail to mention the Easter basket with food, which is usually given to friends and family.
According to tradition, Easter cake (paska) or several Easter eggs are placed in a wicker basket. The presentation is complemented by fresh vegetables, cheeses, sausages, and sometimes a bottle of wine.
For a wedding
Another popular tradition is the wedding basket. You can choose wicker for wedding gifts, either simple or variegated, with interesting prints and designs.
The edges and handle can be beautiful or bows. Line the bottom with red or blue cloth, and then place fruits and flowers on top - the traditional “filling” for wedding baskets.
Making a basket with your own hands
You can buy regular wicker for your gifts on the Internet - the cheapest purchase will cost you about 100-200 rubles. However, you can make your present more economical and more sincere by making a basket with your own hands.
To make a homemade braid, we will need:
- Thick cardboard
- Decorations to taste (flowers, bows, ribbons, etc.)
First you need to cut out the bottom - cut a cardboard square measuring 10 by 10 centimeters. Then cut out long strips from the remaining cardboard: 15 strips 30 centimeters long and 4 strips 40 centimeters long.
Lay 30-centimeter strips on a square in a checkerboard pattern, retreating 10 centimeters on each side. You must use up all the 30 cm strips except one - we will make a handle from it.
Connect them with glue and bend them upward. Now weave 40 cm sections between the “rods” of the braid and attach the handle with glue. That's all - our braid is ready. All that remains is to decorate it and it will be ready to delight your friends and family!
