Gift Baskets - How to Make a Gift Basket for a Book Lover
Gift Baskets are a creative way of giving a gift, and they are fun to put together also. Buying a gift for a book lover can be difficult. Books are highly personal, which means it is hard to choose a book for someone else. You can buy a gift card, but a gift card is not a very original gift. Instead, consider putting together a gift basket for the book lover on your list.
You can also make your Gift Baskets as simple as your budget allows. Choose a container to serve as your gifts baskets. You can find many large Baskets for low prices at thrift stores. Choose other items for the basket, such as snacks to munch on while reading, a book light, a comfy pillow to rest on, warm slippers or even bath items if you know the recipient likes to read in the bathtub. If the recipient does not have a library card, see if you can get one for him. Line your basket with tissue paper or newspaper, place the items in it, and finish it off with ribbon and a tag.
