When you order a gift hamper, you will most likely find that it has been beautifully arranged in some kind of basket. Of course, it’s important to remember that baskets are not your only option. There are plenty of other items around the house that can be used in the most creative ways! In fact, you can use different items to give your hamper a personal touch or even a theme.
If you want to spoil somebody who loves gardening, you could put a flower pot to good use as a container. Fill the pot wih anything they can use to tend to their flowers and plants. Gardening supplies like small sheers and gloves are always welcome. They can use the pot for a special plant once they have removed the contents of the hamper.
When welcoming a new baby, you can choose a practical container that can be used when baby gets a bit older or perhaps something that the new parents will find handy. For example, you could use a potty and fill it with bath and body products for baby. You could also buy a large toy truck and fill it up with all sorts of goodies for baby.
If you want to make a hamper with a movie theme, you can buy a stylish bowl and fill it with the recipient’s favourite snacks like chips, popcorn, chocolates, and so on. You can also add their favourite movie to the hamper and, remember, the bowl can be used to hold the snacks while they enjoy the movie.
For bridal showers, there are so many different options from which to choose. For the most part, the bride-to-be will need various items for her new home and the kitchen. You can buy a ceramic dish, casserole dish, or even a baking pan to use as a holder. Fill with things like dish towels, tea towel, an apron, and other useful items.
If you like, you can even make your own container. Use cardboard and cover it with wrapping paper or even fabric. For Valentine’s Day, you could make your own heart-shaped box and fill it with a cute stuffed animal, a bottle of bubbly, and perhaps some chocolates too.
