Awesome Gift Basket Ideas for Anyone, a Large Gift Bag from Wrapping Paper Tutorial and Free Wine Tag

Welcome to The Cherry On Top.


I've been wanting to post this blog all year. I'm thrilled you're here to check it out. Last year, I whipped up three gift baskets for our family Christmas party. We're a small family with guys and gals across the ages. From 17 through 77. Everyone has everything they need for the most part. So, what kind of gifts are we supposed to get?

I visited a local organic shop that provides a lot of local products. I wanted to gather a collection of goodies that just about anyone would like. That were all from local businesses and that were at least little healthy-ish. Hehehe...

Take a look at what I put together and how I wrapped them all up.

Above was my choclate lovers basket with chocolate cookie bombs for in milk, chocolate drops for drinks and desserts, salty caramel chocolate bars and cookies with chocolate. I sprinkled a few smaller, wrapped chocolates over the top of the basket stuffing. The basket was something I've had for years and I did ask for all of the baskets back. (Insert sassy emoji. hehehe...)

gift basket idea

Here's a tea lovers gift idea. Some basic, black tea that's organic and good quality. A bag of sencha tea, herbal tea, blueberry cookies and a delicious flavored iced tea. That's all 25 Euros will get for this one! I folded a frozen pizza box in half then wrapped it in gift paper to support the items. Puzzle the items for balance, wrap in plastic and hang some ribbon and a nice (maybe recycled) ornament.

Next, I put together a "teen" basket in a recycled paper gift box. There are 2 bags of gourmet chips, sour candies, local chocolate and a few different gourmet sodas. Everything is organic. Including the fruit pockets and smaller, foil wrapped chocolate coins. Wrap in plastic and top off with a pretty bow.

fun gift ideas for anyone

There are the three baskets.

Let's jump into the wrapping paper tutorial. It's so easy!

Roll out your paper. Make sure you've got a lot! This one is folded in half, the long way and taped down the middle.

Put your basket on top and fold around it to see just how big a piece of paper you need.

See how ya do the bottom? It will provide a nice base.

Now, fold those center points towards the middle, tape and the bottom is set.

Put your gift in the bag, carefully.

Look how tall! You can cut off any extra or...

Or fold it over and tape. You could try to gather it together at the top and tie with more ribbon, but you'll need just the right paper for that. Paper that is a bit flexible. Add any tags or ribbon to finish it up. If your basket is heavy, you'll have to carry it from the bottom.

I was really pleased to see how easy this gift bag was to make. Give it a try!

This year I'm making :

Cozy Basket with a blanket, slipper socks, candles, 2 mugs and hot chocolate mix.

Sweet Basket with gourmet sodas, candy and cookies.

Beer and nut basket with beer glasses, a variety of beer and different nuts.

Coffee and Tea Basket with locally fired, organic coffee, quality bio tea, 2 mugs, 2 spoons, fancy sugar cubes and creamer. Consider beans or ground as well as loose or bagged tea. Beans means they need a grinder. Make sure they have one. If you choose loose tea either provide organic bags or a fun diffuser. I love the mugs or tea pot with a diffuser inside.

Another fun idea is a small jar full of rolled bills or coin money, put into the center of a larger jar. In all of the empty space, you fill with little, hard candy. Maybe something like MnM's or those candy coated almonds? Consider the space there is to fill when choosing the candy.

My host idea is a magnum sized bottle of Prosecco. I know she loves it and I bought it from my neighbor who visits Italy every few months and brings back all kinds of amazing, Italian goodies. I'll add a large, gorgeous tag and festive cluster similar to the one pictured below. I love Pinterest for ideas!

host gift idea

Think of who the gift is for. Try to add a personal touch by using items that show you "know" the recipient. If you don't know if they have coffee stuffs or even if they like it or tea or if they are diabetic...Consider the person or people when making your purchases. Buy local and with cash to help out your neighbors. Amazon is already rolling in it. They don't need your help. Hehehe... Your neighbors just might. Think healthy if possible. It shows you care. Think holistically when buying gifts. Recycle wherever possible. I reuse the large plastic wrap and baskets and design beautiful tags from old Christmas cards.

If ya need more ideas, hit up The Cherry On Top's, Gift Ideas. There's a Christmas board as well.

Here's a really, really fun idea for you. I bought some small Christmas cards that came in these little, clear, plastic boxes. I removed the cards, added these mini digital scrapbook pages of my nieces and inside, put some small gifts perfect for young ladies. Pop over to the blog for the tutorial and more gift ideas for little ladies.
