12 Great – Gift Ideas to fill a box or a basket

02/21/2012 4 Comments

While “Pinning” away this weekend on Pinterest I came across this sweet little gift box full of goodies.
It’s Sunshine in a Box!  It’s a gift box filled with all things yellow {like the sun, obviously} to send off to friends or family who need a little pick me up or some sunshine in their life.  What a very cute idea.  You can find this idea over at Katherine Maries.  I also found some other great gift basket type ideas that may inspire you the next time your giving a gift to a neighbor, friend, or family member.

Here’s a great idea for a baby shower gift.  Baby to-go bags.  One for each day of the week.  Each bag is filled with a baby onesie, a travel package of wipes, a diaper, and whatever else a mom would need on the go.  The idea is to grab a bag on your way out the door if your in a hurry.  Very clever.  A new mom would absolutely love this.

Have a new neighbor?  I know we always think to take them baked goods, but how about this handy little bucket full of things they may need around the new house to fix up the place.

This is a great idea for an upcoming anniversary for your spouse or a couple your close with.  The idea is to set up 12 envelopes, each envelope contains 1 date night.  It includes a gift card for dinner, maybe an activity like the movies, or something more creative.  This is a great gift for couples who tend to slack or put off date night {ahem!  Like me & the hub’s} this will make it effortless.  Well outside of finding a sitter.

Family night anyone?  Fill a basket with age appropriate games, and movies depending on who your gifting this basket to and some easy to please snacks.  It’s sure to be a hit.  This is great for birthdays, just because, or anytime really.

Do you have a sister, mom, or close friend who loves the spa or at home beauty treatments?  This is the gift for them.  Fill a basket with homemade scrubs, slippers, sleep masks, maybe some special teas and treats.  This could be perfect for a mom who needs a mini vacation, but can’t get away.

This is a great idea for teachers with spring break coming up or even when school ends.  Fill a cute basket with a little treat, some spring or summer fun nail polish, and a gift card to your favorite book store.  What teacher wouldn’t want this!?!

I have several friends who are great in the kitchen and love to garden this is the best of both worlds.  A basket full of fresh herbs to plant.  This gift will keep on giving.  Who knows they make even make a meal for you after you give them this gift basket and use some of the wonderful herbs.

A gift basket all for the new Daddy.  Since he’s most likely been catering to the mom to-be the whole pregnancy, do something special for him while at the hospital.  Fill the basket with some of his favorite snacks, write little notes on them…you may even be able to sneak a few of your own favorite snacks in there too!  Wink Wink!  This would be a great anytime gift for Dad just to say thank you!

Surprising a neighbor or some friends with dinner is a great gift idea.  Fill a strainer with some pasta, sauce, a bottle of wine, fresh artisan bread and olive oil…it’s sure to be a hit!

With spring just around the corner, it’s almost time to start planting those gardens.  A basket full of seeds, gloves, and tools is a gift basket perfect for those who love to garden.
