If you are looking for a great gift idea this year for Mother’s Day or Christmas you may want to consider giving a gift basket. I love to create unique themed baskets to give during the holidays and for special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries and house warming gifts. I personally also love to receive them too! It is also a great way to stretch your stockpile. This year I came up with a gift ideas that was a huge success that I wanted to share with you. It is a gift basket but there is no basket involved. You can think outside the box when it comes to gift baskets and use alternative items to create the “basket” for gift giving.

Bath Themed Gift Basket:

I created a Bath Themed Gift.  The gift of relaxation, heath and wellness is the best gift you can give anyone!  I picked up this metal tub to use as my container.  Next I added Village Natural Therapy bath salts, bath gel and bubble bath that I picked up from Walmart.  I also picked up a few bath items to fill up the basket and add three of my favorite essential oils.

A tip in wrapping is to add a bath brush or something bath related with a handle to the center of the basket.  Then when you cover it with cellophane wrap you have something to hold your bath ball and it won’t “droop” over.  This is a great gift idea for any man or woman on your list!  I chose this for my BIL.  He is going to love it!  I used paper filler and then just stacked everything in and wrapped with cellophane and tied with the bath ball.  I choose manly colors of grey, blue and green.

This would make the perfect gift for Mother’s Day – just be sure to add a gift certificate for a spa in too!

So this is just one gift gift basket ideas. Do you have any themed gift basket ideas?  We would love to hear them!
