With all the time and money spent getting a well-thought out gift for a significant other, it would not be beneficial to just throw it in a festive bag. This year, take the extra step and assemble a cute basket filled with Valentine’s Day décor to spice up a gift.
While a bag will get the necessary job done, a basket with all the Valentine’s Day gifts and candies on display will make the gift so much more meaningful.
Seasonal aspects can be easily added for an aesthetic appearance. Red, pink, and white accents will change a gift basket from dull to dazzling. From tissue paper to tinsel, little heart accents will add the perfect touch to a gift basket for great visual appeal.
Placing items in a basket is just as simple as a gift bag. Take a few extra moments to arrange and wrap a ribbon around the handles to make a world of difference.
Baskets are also great for displaying any “filler items.” Place candies, cards, and lovable little stuffed animals on display. If these items were simply placed in a gift bag, they could not be seen or arranged properly, losing the effect of a gift put together with love.
Senior Olivia Ayd said, “I would choose to give a basket rather than a bag because it looks so much more put together and cute.”
Often, gift bags are simply thrown away or rarely kept for reuse in following years; however, a basket doubles as a practical gift as well. The basket can be used in so many ways for storage in the future, especially if it is stylish.
Junior Reagan Kolego said, “I would give my gift in a basket because I think it holds stronger sentimental weight rather than just putting a gift in a bag. You think of a bag as something to just throw together while a basket is much more personal.”
Affordable and adorable, baskets can be purchased nearly anywhere locally at a great price. Try the Target Dollar Spot, Walmart’s seasonal section, or even Five Below for the cutest themed baskets and any accessories a gift may need.
A bag to a basket is such a small change to a gift, but it makes such a big difference. Switching from a standard gift bag to a beautiful basket arrangement can transform the Valentine’s Day experience.
