How to Personalize a Homemade Food Gift Basket

Gifts of food can be given to anyone for holidays or other special occasions. These gifts will be appreciated by family, friends, coworkers, or anyone else on your gift list. Creating your own food gift basket can be a very special gift as you can personalized it with the recipient’s favorite candy, cookies, wine, or other food or beverage items.

When selecting foods to place in your gift basket, make sure they are fresh and check any expiration dates. It’s difficult to include foods that are perishable and require refrigeration, so keep that in mind when you are choosing items to place in a food gift basket. Fresh fruits and vegetables are wonderful items because they are inexpensive, colorful, and readily available. However, it’s better if you choose fruits that are not yet ripe; oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits, and apples are good choices because they are more hearty.

In addition to wicker baskets, there are many other containers to choose from. Unbreakable bowls are appropriate for most food themes and it is easy to assemble your gifts in bowls. If you are trying to stay within a budget, shop at your local discount or dollar store. My local dollar store has a nice variety of large plastic bowls and serving trays that are sturdy and attractive. If you decide to use a serving tray, choose one with sides as the assembly will be easier.

Breakfast Basket:

This make a great gift for a hostess when you are an overnight guest, or as a housewarming, anniversary or wedding gift. It’s also a nice gift idea for a large family.

Choose a wicker tray or basket with handles as it will be easier to work with than one without handles. Fill the container with shredded brown paper, straw, or purchased shred. If desired, add a couple of rolled napkins. Select food items that one would eat or drink for breakfast; herbal tea, coffee or coffee beans, small bag or box of pancake mix, bottle of maple syrup, jams, jellies, and a small jar of honey for the tea drinkers. If there are small children in the family, include several serving size boxes of dry cereal. Add several fresh oranges or grapefruits and a couple of lemons. Since an overflowing gift basket looks better than a sparse one, fill in any empty spaces with colorful silk flowers or greenery. A nice decorative touch is to include a wooden spoon or a wire whisk tied with curly ribbon or a bow.

Pizza Basket:

Create this gift basket for a student going away to college or anyone setting up their first home.

Use a pizza pan or pizza stone as a container to hold the food items. Place several red checkered napkins or tea towels on the pan or stone to help position and anchor the other items. Include gifts such as pizza dough mix, pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder or a bulb of fresh garlic, red pepper flakes, a small bottle of olive oil, grating cheese, a cheese grater, and a pizza cutter. If you prefer an easier method, use a wicker basket instead of the pizza stone or pan.

Asian Food Basket:

Make this gift basket for anyone who enjoys Chinese food. It’s also a great gift for a bridal shower or wedding.

Use a wok or bamboo steamer as the container and fill it with the makings of delicious Asian cuisine: soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, fresh ginger, ginger grater, a bulb of garlic, cornstarch, Asian noodles, duck sauce, a stir fry spatula, and a cookbook. Tie curly ribbon or raffia around several sets of chopsticks and position them throughout the basket. Don’t forget to add some fortune cookies.

After you have completed your food gift basket, you may want to place it in a cello bag or wrap it in cello paper; the bags are much easier to work with. This will help in transporting your gift basket and keep it dust free. If you choose to use cello, you can place ribbon or other decorative items before placing the basket in the bag, on the outside of the cello wrapped basket, or both. A nice idea is to place a decorative item amongst the food items before placing it the cello. You will need to use ribbon or raffia to tie the bag closed above the basket. It looks really nice if you allow curly ribbon or steamers to cascade down the front of the completed basket.

Candle Gift Baskets Send Warmth

When looking for a great gift idea for a woman, a candle gift basket is a great way to surprise her and extend your best wishes. Candles send warmth, a feeling of coziness, and a sense of home and peacefulness. Candle gift baskets are more readily available in stores for women, as it is women that are more likely to buy and burn candles in their homes. A candle gift basket would be a perfect gift idea for a Valentine’s Day gift for that special lady in your life. Candle gift baskets vary in style and theme as widely as any other type of gift baskets that are available, so it’s a good idea to have some basic knowledge about the person to whom you are sending this gift. If not, try to pick a somewhat generic candle gift basket that would be sure to please just about anyone.

A Glowing Friendship is Recognized with a Candle Gift Basket

In most cases, a candle gift basket will come with more than one candle and a decorative candle holder or plate on which to place the candle while it burns. Often, a candle gift basket with friendship as it’s theme will include a stationary set with both large and small note cards, memo pads, envelopes, postcards, an address book, pen or pencil sets, a small photo album or frame and either tea or coffee. Of course, the amount of extras you add depend on the size of the basket and your budget.

Pampered Perfectly with Candles

A more lavish concept, and generally more expensive candle gift basket, is one that carries a “day at the spa” type of theme. These gift basket styles generally contains quite a bit of “pampering in a bottle” with items such as bath soaps, bubble bath, massage tool, body scrubs, bath salts, shower gel, hand and body lotions, a bath mitt, sponge, bath pillow and an eye mask. The quantity of products in a basket such as this depends on the size of the basket.

The Thought is the True Treasure

Candle gift baskets are as varied as the women who receive them. If you can’t seem to find what you are looking for when shopping in the retail stores or online, don’t be afraid to create your own candle gift basket. The first step is to purchase a basket or other type of container in which to hold your gift items. After you have found your gift basket, you will need to purchase candles that will match the recipient’s favorite color or interior colors of their home or office. Then, supplement the candles with candle holders, bath and body items, potpourri, a teapot and a collection of teas and coffee, or anything else you can find that you feel your friend would truly enjoy. As with any gift, it is the thought that counts.

Great Graduation Gift Ideas

Graduation is a momentous time in a young person?s life. You want to give them gifts that are practical, yet stylish and fun. Gifts that help them adjust to their new lives are the best to give and any gifts that help with college plans are also a great idea.

The number of students that go to college has steadily increased over the years, so for some college is an obvious choice. Gifts can be anything from a new laptop to a college survival kit that comes complete with snacks, tools, laundry bag, detergent and a first aide kit. Any gift that helps them adjust to their new life at college will not only come in handy but you know will be greatly appreciated. Examples are: a personalized leather portfolio or padfolio, compact refrigerator, instant cell phone charger, PPA, laptop carrying case that holds everyday essentials, a journal for any writers or maybe even a new blackberry or iPod.

Other gift ideas for your favorite graduate can be items that show your support for their new found independence. Gift ideas are: an iPod alarm clock, roadside emergency kit, meaningful books on life lessons or wisdom about friends and people, iPod chargers or boosters, self defense items like pepper spray or a tazer, closet organizers, or an amazing all in one breakfast toaster that makes coffee, eggs and toast all at once. For those graduates who are going straight into the workforce gift ideas are: a nameplate, pen set, desk clock, mouse pad, business card holder, paperweights and desk organizers are all items that will help them stay on top of a busy schedule.

Personalized items are always very memorable gifts to give. Items like: picture frames complete with a favorite picture, luggage or travel bags, a travel kit or manicure set, coffee mugs, wallet, thermos, jewelry box, gift basket, a watch box or valet tray, CD or iPod case, passport case and jewelry are all items that can have initials or names imprinted on them. Personalized items are memorable gifts and a great addition to any graduates new life.

One last group of ideas can be used for a graduation party and then displayed for years to come. Examples are: a graduation flag that can be personalized with names, dates and school colors, a framed diploma, or a guest book plate that can be engraved by any guests at the party are all charming, meaningful and are sure to be proudly displayed for all to see.

Whether the graduate is going away to college, wanting to see the world or just interested in working and following their dreams, make sure the gift fits their unique personalities. Show your 2008 graduate how proud you are and get them a gift that fits into their lifestyle. You get to be the best gift giver at the party and you know the gift will always be cherished. Happy shopping :-)

The High Street is Set for the High Road This Christmas as Online Shopping Overtakes (christmas Gifts)

From the first of December, and often earlier, the high street becomes transformed. We are not just talking about fairy lights and garish decorations here. In pursuit of the best Christmas Gifts, the stores bustle with frenzied shoppers, risking life and limb for that limited edition toy or the last pair of novelty Santa socks. All of this set to a persistent and grating soundtrack of ‘Jingle Bells’ and ‘We Wish You a Merry Christmas’. You part with your battered credit card and drag your newly acquired (and very heavy) Christmas Gifts through the doors, against a tide of shoppers out into the cold and the rain. Then, with a sudden realisation that you’ve forgotten to get Christmas Gifts for your great-aunt’s next door neighbour’s sister’s children, you hastily dive back in, grab the nearest hideous soft toys, little caring that they’re bound to despise them. Finally you join the mammoth queues for Christmas Gifts snaking around the shop. Sound familiar?

The benefits of online shopping are ever more apparent. Sitting in your comfortable desk chair in your pyjamas if you so desire and sipping your coffee, your mouse hovers over potential Christmas Gifts, warm and relaxed in your own home. This could be midday or midnight and the service available will still be the same. All a far cry from the sullen shop assistants forced against their will into Santa hats, sulkily pointing out the Christmas Gifts aisles and silently taking your money and handing you back very little change.

Christmas Gifts can even be bought in a lunch hour; so finding an entire day to devote to Christmas shopping and getting a babysitter to watch the kids (or even worse taking them with you) is no longer an issue. Even if you do forget your great-aunt’s next door neighbour’s sister’s children, the internet can be switched on within five minutes, but with none of the unnecessary stress.

So apart from the fact that you can now buy Christmas gifts 24 hours a day, seven days a week via the internet, the costs are likely to be lower too. Shoppers can easily compare websites and prices to get the best deal and, therefore, save time and money buying Christmas Gifts. With services offered such as tracking an order to see when it has been despatched, and direct phone numbers if you need any help and advice, internet shopping is easy and stress free for anyone.

The internet also offers a variety of Christmas Gifts that may simply not be available or may be more difficult to find on the high street. These include everything from cheeky stocking fillers to larger, more extravagant presents. Personalised Gifts can be ordered weeks in advance of Christmas and so provide unique and individual Christmas Gifts. Experience Day Gifts (such as flying lessons or rally driving) are also easier to buy on the internet, as shoppers are able to tailor their packages and compare the different Christmas Gifts on the market, thus choosing the most appropriate experience for the intended recipient.

If you begin your Christmas shopping early to spread the cost, it can be difficult to find Christmas Gifts on the high street, as stores are still clearing their leftover Summer and Autumn stock. This is not an issue for online shoppers as Christmas Gifts websites and decoration sites operate all year round. So there’s no excuse to leave it to the last minute. Finishing your Christmas shopping early also brings the added bonus that you have more time to focus on the things that really matter during the festive season. Spending some quality time with your family and loved ones perhaps?

In an age where technology is constantly developing and pushing the boundaries, it makes sense that so many people are updating the way in which they shop to fit modern lifestyles. Ever more shoppers are now turning away from the traditional high street and choosing to browse the internet when they purchase their Christmas Gifts.

Bizarrely, some shoppers claim to miss the hectic snatching and fighting that comes with buying Christmas Gifts on the high street, but if that’s the case, you could calmly saunter into town and relax in a coffee shop, watching the chaos surrounding you as a dispassionate observer. You’re safe in the knowledge that your specially chosen purchases are in the post and will land on your doorstep tomorrow, as if delivered by Santa himself. It is little wonder that the high street is headed for the high road this Christmas.

Make a Christmas Angel Tissue Box Craft for Your Kids

 

During Christmas it is fun to decorate and get your home ready for the holidays. Making the Christmas angel tissue box is an inexpensive craft to do with kids and family members. The Christmas angel tissue box makes an excellent gift to give from kids to relatives, friends and even teachers. The entire project normally takes less than half an hour to put together. It is a fun activity for when it’s cold outside or raining and you need something to fill the time.

 

Another fun thing about the Christmas angel tissue box is that can be saved and store for each Christmas. This means that each year you can bring out the Christmas angel tissue box that your child made and decorate your home. What a wonderful way to remember when they were young and to have something that they made as a kid when they move out on their own.

 

Teachers can have children bring in the supplies for the Christmas angel tissue box and make this craft in class. It is a terrific way for kids to have something to make to give to relatives and parents during the holidays. I would personally recommend this craft for middle school and up for an art activity in the classroom. You can even set the Christmas angel tissue boxes in the window sill to decorate the classroom.

 

Items Needed to Make Christmas Angel Tissue Box:

 

Unused square shaped box of tissues; Box of aluminum foil; One unused coffee filter; Metallic Trim; Blue, Green, Yellow or Red Golf Tee; One big red sequin; All purpose white glue; Small pieces of yarn to use for the hair; All purpose scissors; Roll of Masking Tape; All purpose Markers; Two holly leaf shaped sequins; Several pieces of construction paper in skin tone of your preference; One – 12 inch pipe cleaner that matches the construction paper

 

How to Make Christmas Angel Tissue Box Craft

 

Last, as DIY crafts are so popular today, so you can also make a tissue box yourself and it will be a wonderful Christmas gift for your kids. Ok?, Let’s start up now!

 

The first step to create your Christmas angel tissue box is to tear off a large piece of the aluminum foil. You ideally want to create a wing out of the foil that is approximately seven inches tall and around five inches wide. You fold the aluminum foil in half to form a rectangle. Next, you pinch the foil in the center to create the wing look. Spread the foil out so that it looks like two wings attached to one another. On the back of the wings you just created, put a small piece of masking tape in the center.

 

Next you will attach the wings of the Christmas angel tissue box to the actual unused tissue box. Lay the box on the side with the opening for the tissues facing you. Put a small strip of masking tape over the top of the tissue box right above the opening. Glue the wings you made in the previous step to the actual tissue box on top of the masking tape.

 

Now that you have the wings attached to the Christmas angel tissue box it is time to create the angel sleeves. Next, using the all purpose scissors cut the coffee filter in half. Take each half of the coffee filter and fold it into thirds. Tape the sleeves closed. Take each coffee filter sleeve and slide it onto an end of the pipe cleaner, leaving some pipe cleaner showing for the hands of the Christmas angel tissue box. Glue the sleeves with the all purpose white glue onto the wing area of the tissue box. You should line up the sleeves with the wings and have pipe cleaner showing at each end.

 

Now our Christmas angel tissue box needs a sweet face. Using the all purpose scissors cut out a circle that is 2 inches around. Using the all purpose marker, make a beautiful face with eyes, and so forth. Next, add the hair by gluing on the yarn bits that you collected. With the all purpose glue, glue the holy leaves side by side on the hair and then put the red sequin as the berry for the holy. Place a small amount of masking tape on the center back of the head. Glue the Christmas angel tissue box head to the center of the wings and sleeves you put together in the previous steps.

 

Now to make the Christmas angel tissue box more Christmas themed. Take the pipe cleaner sleeves that have the coffee filter on them and bring them forward to touch one another. Place the golf tee with the pointed in at the angel’s mouth for a Christmas trumpet. Glue the end of the golf tee to the angel face. Gently wrap the pipe cleaner to the end of the trumpet golf tee.

 

To decorate the Christmas angel tissue box sleeves, use the all purpose glue the metallic trim to each sleeve as decorative sleeve trim. Your Christmas angel tissue box will be beautiful and sounding off to the world the joys of Christmas.

I’d like to introduce and display an excellent selection of China fine art products and gifts – www.123giftfactory.com to you, also give you great suggestions about gift ideas and the latest fashion art trends in China.

Custom Gift Baskets for Dad

You need to get dad a present, but you’re not sure where to start. Do you go for the big ticket item like a flashy electronic gadget? Do you go for the experiential present like a day spent golfing at his favorite course? If you’re stuck in park and not sure where to steer your decision making process, then think about custom gift baskets. Here are simple steps for creating a custom gift basket for your dad:

Pick a theme
Custom gift baskets should revolve around a chosen theme so they don’t look like random pilings of gifts that don’t logically go together. Brainstorm potential themes for the basket. For instance, is your dad a sports buff? Is he a diehard fan for any specific team? Does he have a sweet tooth? Any hobby he is addicted to? Hone in on one of his interests and use that as a basis for the custom gift basket.

Set a price limit
Now that you’ve picked the theme for the custom gift basket, it may be a good idea to set a price limit for yourself. This way you won’t feel the need to buy all related products or get stressed about your total bill as you keep buying and buying. Setting a price marker will help you be more discerning in choosing appropriate products for the custom gift basket. Think about quality, not quantity, and you won’t be as worried about breaking your piggy bank.

Seek professional advice
Custom gift baskets turn out well if they include unique, specialty products geared towards the theme. So if you’re not an expert in the chosen concept then seek professional advice. If your father is a coffee nut then head to one of the major chains and ask an employee to help you pick out an assortment of rich coffee blends. If your father has a favorite author, peek around his library at home, see which books he has, and then head to the bookstore to fill in the gaps.

Attach a card
The final touch for custom gift baskets is a card. You don’t need to be deeply profound, but you can briefly explain why you made your choices for dad’s present. Explain why you think he will enjoy what you created for him. This will help pull together the gift so your dad will appreciate the custom gift basket created especially by you.
