Winter is just around the corner and one of the best ways to show your gratitude to your friends and family is to treat them with a cozy basket full of goods. Brr baskets can be filled with numerous items that will make the receiver smile. If you're planning to give one to someone you want to show gratitude to this winter, here are some ideas.
Fillers Under $100
To show someone you care about them, you shouldn’t need to spend over $100, the gesture alone shows how much you care. Your picks can include products like body scrubs, hand-sanitizers, or lipgloss for a girl. For a guy, you can include things like snacks, gift cards, or something specific to him. The winter season gets cold, so why not get them something cozy? Hot chocolate and sweet treats can make their day. A blanket or a plushie to keep them warm during the cozy winter nights is a great addition to make the basket pop. Make sure to find items relevant to the person you want to give it to.
Something Extra (For The Girls)
Every girl loves their Jellycats. Cute, new, festive, Jellycats come out every year and are a great addition that every girl will love. Jewelry like earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings can brighten their day. Candles, lotions, and skincare are essentials for a cute basket. Hair ties, perfumes, and a phone case are great ways to make them smile. Since squishies are all the craze, you can add these to the gift. Stationary like pens, pencils, and erasers are loved and needed by many, so grab some cheap stationary to add. Lastly, you obviously need a squishmallow to go with everything (Everyone loves squishmallows!).
Something Extra (For the Guys)
Guys are simple. Snacks and a gift card are all they need to smile, but why not add more? T-shirts, sweaters, and jackets are essential for their winter fits. Their love for video games is uncanny, so a gift card to go with it is a great addition. Homemade snacks and goodies straight from your kitchen that’s packaged nicely can be a great way to show you care. If they like sports, get them something productive.
THE BASKET
The basket is the base factor for this gift. Without basket, you just get brr! A cheap basket is easy to find anywhere. Amazon, Target, Walmart, and many other stores sell cheap, cute baskets to fill with your gifts. Depending on how much stuff you have to put in it, you'll need a bigger basket if you have more things. This should be the easiest part of putting the gift together and shouldn’t be a hassle. Many times, you can find an unused basket just lying around the house!
Homemade crafts
Something that will last forever and make their day is a homemade craft or card. Origami, art, and crafts are easy and don’t have to be perfect. Find a tutorial or inspiration online and decorate it to be you! Crafts like these can be treasured forever and can even be a great decoration!
Winter feels so close and I can’t wait. Brr Baskets is one of the great ways to show you care and wish your loved ones a happy holiday!
