When you put together a gift hamper, you want it to blow he recipient away. This means that it goes beyond the contents of the hamper and it’s also about going the extra mile. If you want your gift hampers to look amazing and full, here are some great tips to keep in mind.
The first thing to remember is to use a filler in the base. You want your basket to support all of the items it holds but you don’t want them to disappear inside it. Filler will support all of the items nicely so that they each stand out. If you don’t like the look of the filler material, you could always conceal it with some loose chocolates, sweets, or even nuts (in their shells). Your choice will depend on the contents of your hamper and what will work best.
Arrangement is essential. Each item needs to be placed in just the right position in order to create the right effect. You want a layered effect so the tallest items don’t overcrowd or conceal the smaller ones. If you are making a round gift basket, then place the tallest items in the middle and work your way out from there. If you want to create a hamper with a kind of backdrop like a vertical flower arrangement, then place the tallest items at the back with the smallest in the front.
Another great tip to remember is to choose the right size hamper. You don’t want to struggle to squeeze everything inside but you also don’t want too much empty space. Choose a hamper that will be a good, relatively snug fit.
Finally, top it all off with just the right gift wrapping! Whether presented in a stylish box or an open basket, it’s important that your hamper is decorated accordingly. Don’t forget about that important gift card with a personal message inside!
