Looking for a bridal shower gift basket idea? This is a fun gift to choose. You may or may not know the couple very well. Don't worry, you'll have plenty of options.
Start with your budget. How much would you like to spend? Then decide if you want a gift that is premade, or one you will do yourself.
Once you start looking, you might even be overwhelmed. There are so many choices. If you don't have a category in mind, answering the following questions may help you decide.
• What are the couple's needs?
A young couple starting out would need basic household items.
A good example, is a bathroom essentials package. Start with their color choice of a waste basket. Add towels, soap dish, soap, and a pretty candle. You could also start with a pantry basket. Then add canned goods, pasta, sauce, spices, kitchen towels, and pot holders.
• What if the couple already has all their household needs?
Do they have a hobby in common? They would probably like something related to this.
Do they play the same sport, or workout together? Maybe they could use new gear. Pickle ball has become very popular. Are they into that?
• Where is the couple going for their honeymoon? A beach kit is a great gift basket idea for warm weather destinations. If you're assembling this yourself, start with a beach bag. Add a towel, sunscreen, water bottle, His and Her flip flops, and visors. Colder ideas are a blanket, mugs, and packets of cocoa.
• What is the party theme?
A gift basket based around the theme is a great idea. Purchase one already assembled, or put it together yourself using items associated with the bridal shower theme. Some common themes are Spa, Kitchen, Beach, and Gourmet Cook.
• Design It Yourself Gift Baskets is a great site to help you create a personalized gift.
• How do I make my own?
Decide on a container. There are many choices besides a basket.
How about a colander filled with Italian food, or a mixing bowl filled with kitchen utensils?
Then, purchase items to put in your container. Practice arranging them until they are pleasing to your eye. Enclose with cellophane. This is sold at craft stores, and online. Some are sold specifically for this purpose. Add a colorful bow and curly ribbon.
The following are theme ideas. Take a look. You might find the
