One way you can prepare for the holiday season is by putting together a basket that will be filled with goodies, treats, and presents for your family members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the holidays quickly approaching, it is important to start thinking about what gifts you will be giving your loved ones. This year, think outside of the box and find a gift that can help improve someone\u2019s life for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Buy a large basket\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing to do when putting together a gift basket is to purchase one of the many baskets that are available in stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a great idea for someone who has everything and you want to give them something they will not use or wear, but appreciate greatly. You can find these types of gift baskets at department stores like Target as well as any grocery store within your area. This type of basket is perfect because it contains items that range from household goods such as dish soap to toys that may be age-appropriate for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tip: Remember to make sure each individual item fits into the basket!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fill with snacks, like crackers and cheese, tea bags or hot cocoa mix<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Next it is time to start adding snack foods . Think of items that would be fun to eat while watching a family movie or playing games. Snacks like crackers, cheese and chips are always good choices for this type of basket. Do not forget about adding tea bags as well for those who do not prefer coffee or hot cocoa mix if it is winter time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, you will want to add any other small goodies that the person in your life might enjoy such as popcorn balls with a ribbon tied around them, cookies wrapped up in a cellophane bag with an attached card saying \u201cMerry Christmas\u201d or even some peppermint candies tucked into one corner on top!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Add in some games for adults to play\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most gift baskets include a small game. Why not make it a family game? You can choose from board games or card games. Games like &#8220;Monopoly&#8221; and &#8220;Scrabble&#8221; are great for adults, but they also have kid-friendly versions that you might want to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Put in some magazines that are relevant to the season&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Magazines are always a good gift item to include. You can find a magazine that is related to the person in your life. For example, if they are an avid gardener, you could put their favorite gardening magazine inside. For sports fans Sports Illistruated is a good pick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you know of any local businesses or restaurants that make handmade gifts and would like them showcased this is a good time toshow them off!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Include items for kids like stickers or coloring books<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are giving a gift basket to a child in your family , you should include some things that are more age appropriate. Stickers, coloring books, toys, and games are all popular with both boys and girls of different ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Items like a family photo frame or picture book can be really special for the recipient to share memories with their children<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your gift basket is going to someone who has kids in the family then it would make sense to include something they could use for themselves as well as something they could use with their children together. A family photo frame or an illustrated storybook about a favorite holiday tradition might do the trick!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Add some candy to the mix &#8211; chocolate bars or gummy bears are always good options!\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Candy is always a good choice to include in a gift basket. However, it&#8217;s important to consider what the recipient likes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people prefer chocolate bars and others enjoy gummy bears more so you&#8217;ll need to get a sense of which would be best for this person before going in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Include some fruit &#8211; apples and oranges work well for this type of gift\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fruit like apples and oranges that does not require a refrigerator is a good idea to include in this type of gift. Eating health is always important and these items are a great way to help with that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is also an idea for those of you who are trying to get rid of fruit sitting in your fridge!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A family photo frame or an illustrated storybook about a favorite holiday tradition might do the trick!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Throw in an ice pack so they can keep their goodies cool while on-the-go<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Including an ice pack is a good idea to help with the family&#8217;s travel. It will keep fruits and cheese fresh until the basket is opened!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Kids Gift Basket Ideas:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A children&#8217;s gift basket is usually comprised of toys, candy, and even some food items! The best types of snacks would be hollow chocolate eggs with little prizes inside them (such as stickers). Other good choices include granola bars or fruit chews in individual packages so the child doesn&#8217;t end up eating too many at once. &nbsp;You may also want to add books in case the child does not get enough reading time during their break from school each day<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Family Gift Basket Ideas:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideas for creating a family themed basket: Include items like warm slippers or fuzzy socks, a board game or puzzle, holiday DVDs or books (for children), festive napkins or dish towels decorated with snowmen prints, framed photos from previous years together.
