Valentine's Day is quickly approaching and you're just not sure what to get for your love. You're tired of the same old box of candy and the same old red roses. What can you get that will be unique, appreciated, and most of all, show a little romance?
A Valentine's Day gift basket is a perfect gift. Gift baskets are always exciting because it's a lot of fun to sift through them and see what goodies one will find. A well-planned and wrapped gift basket will add excitement and elegance to your Valentine's day.
A gift basket can be a wonderful idea for you to help your children put together as well. They can create a small gift basket for a treasured grandparent or teacher. These little handmade baskets can contain a card the child has made, a few treats, and other small gifts they know the person will enjoy.
You can also put together a handmade gift basket for your sweetheart. This lets you give them a flower or two, and the obligatory chocolates, along with other small tokens of your love. You can add a small stuffed animal, a piece of jewelry, a folded new shirt, or another gift you know they'll love.
You can also buy themed gift baskets ready to go. Any fudge shop will have chocolate gift baskets filled to the brim with tasty treats. The chocolate lover in your life will enjoy digging down into the milk chocolates, dark chocolates, and various flavored chocolates. Choose one that has all her (or his) favorites in it. Consider having smooth, creamy fudge added. Cookies may be another good addition to the basket. If you're somewhere where it's still quite cold on Valentine's Day, add packets of hot chocolate mix to make with your sweetheart. Add fudge to the hot chocolate so you can enjoy extra richness.
If you enjoy wines, a wine gift basket makes a lovely gift. Have a few exotic wines and champagnes that you and your beloved enjoy. Add candies and chocolates to the basket, and perhaps a single stemmed rose. A variety of cheeses is another good addition to the wine basket.
A spa-themed basket is another good idea. This is especially pleasing to the ladies. Add in natural soaps in scents she loves. Body scrubs, massage oils, and candles are all good additions. You can also find natural sponges and luxuriously soft wash cloths to add in. Consider a pair of socks and gloves made to hold moisture into the feet and hands overnight. If you want to be really fancy, add a gift certificate for an afternoon at her favorite spa.
You can create a small basket for your children on Valentine's Day as well. This can be a great way to let them know how much you love them, without "over doing it." Put a coloring book and a package of crayons into the basket along with one or two candies. Add a little stuffed animal and a hand made card from you.
With a little thought and planning you can put together a gift basket as simple or elegant as you'd like. Your sweetheart (or your little one) will love getting a beautiful basket filled to the brim with goodies from you. It shows that you care enough to take the time to put something together - or at least to hunt the perfect gift basket down! Enjoy giving a gift that does a little more than the standard "flowers and candy."
