Get started with these creative gift basket ideas.

Myth #1: A Gift Basket is always a Basket. NOT TRUE.

Be unique and trade the basket for a creative container. Maybe you can fill a baby bath tub with new baby essentials for a baby shower gift. Have you seen all of the Treasure Chests in the Gift Shops? These are beautiful shelf decor. Why not fill one with special treasures for that special gal. Another clever idea could be to fill a tool belt, 5 gallon pail or wheel barrow with a variety of tools for a special guy gift. One trip to Home Depot and you are on your way. How about a dog bed filled with doggie treats and books to welcome a new pet into someone's life. These are just a few examples. Please take a look at the categories on this site for many more unique and creative gift basket ideas and themes.

In our busy lives it seems like we need a gift every time we turn around. Look at your Day Planner - Next week it's a baby shower and the Saturday after that a wedding and then the week after that a children's birthday party. I can help put the fun back into gift giving. Sometimes all of these events become almost stressful. This website was created to provide creative gift basket ideas. I want to help you give a gift that everyone will be talking about at work on Monday.

Myth #2: A Gift Basket is just for Fruit or Food. NO WAY.

When most people think of a Gift Basket they do think of food or fruit. Of course, these are great ideas. Everyone loves gourmet foods. Sure, you can put out the cash for those and of course, you will be remembered when you give a super deluxe gourmet assortment of chocolates and wine.

Or..... you can make it yourself. You can personally select each and every gourmet food item for your basket. When you select your favorite goodies it is like sharing part of yourself. You will definitely be remembered. Now you are making use of creative gift basket ideas!

Did you know that when you create unique, themed gift baskets they will have a profound effect? You can include food, non food items or a combination of both. You decide what is perfect. Put your heart into the theme. I know, you are saying, How do I do that? That's where I can help.

Myth #3: A Bouquet is always filled with Flowers:

Not true. Take a look at the beautiful bouquet which would be perfect for a new mom. Can you imagine the look on her face when she realizes that this bouquet is filled with luxury, pima cotton baby clothes! And, on top of that - the container is a keepsake ceramic piece!

The first thing to do is think of your recipient. Really think.

**What is he like?

**What does she like?

**What character traits come to mind?

**What hobby does he have?

**Are there special baked items that you make that they love?

**Has she talked about wanting to start a special project. Maybe she may need some special items to get inspired by?

**Did he recently start a new hobby?

**Do you have a hobby that you'd like to share?

**Or do you want to shower them with luxury items that they would never buy for themselves, but would love to have?

**The possibilities are endless once you begin to brainstorm. This is starting to get fun now, isn't it?
