Baking Gift Basket Tips
Theme
When looking for items to put in your gift basket, you might want to stick to one baking theme.
Centering your basket around just cookies for example is going to take the guesswork out of what to put in your basket.
Baking Theme Ideas
- Cookies
- Cakes
- Cupcakes
- Cake pops
- Cookies for Santa (maybe cookies, a cookie plate, and Santa items)
- Chocolate Lovers (all items relate to baking with chocolate)
Wrapping
Since my basket was already festive, I chose not to decorate the basket. You can of course add festive ribbon or other cute decorations.
It would be adorable to tie some cookie cutters to the handles of the gift basket.
