There’s an almost unending amount of ideas for gift basket themes.
Besides birthdays, holidays, graduation and hobbies, there are truly
novel ideas for a one-of-a-kind basket.
Here is a list of unique gift basket themes that you may have
overlooked:
• Retirement – Baby boomers are now retiring in droves.
You can create an amazing gift basket for retirement by considering
the person’s hobbies (fishing, traveling, camping, boating, reading)
and gathering items that would fit the theme.
• Gourmet Cooks – What chef wouldn’t enjoy receiving a basket filled
with items such as exotic spices, cooking wines and vinegars and fun
utensils?
There are so many fun “toys” that a cook would enjoy that it won’t be
difficult to gather them.
• Spa – A new mother or any deserving person would be thrilled to
receive a basket of relaxation spa items such as aromatherapy candles
and lotions, warm footies, gift certificate for a massage or mani-pedi
and fun things for the bath – including a CD of relaxing and
therapeutic music.
• Golfer – Golfers always need extra tees and balls for their sport.
But, you can also find unusual items such as monogrammed towels,
energy bars, sunscreen, lip balm and other items that every golfer
should carry in his or her bag.
• Confined – Do you know of someone who is either temporarily or
permanently confined to a wheelchair or bed?
A gift basket of items to help make his or her life easier can be done
with thoughtful things such as earphones, comfy slippers,
subscription to a magazine, ultra nice cushion and more.
• Football Fans – Gifts abound for those friends and family members
who are football addicts and you can outfit a gift basket as a hostess
gift, birthday or any other holiday that requires a gift.
Think about snacks such as microwave popcorn, a six-pack of beer or
soda, hat with a team logo.
Just let your imagination soar and think of ways to create your
own themes for any gift-giving dilemma.
