Have a friend who loves cooking, is a coffee connoisseur, or just simply a foodie? Put in all things food-related in the basket. For example, you could get the cheese fans a basket of crackers, salami, specialized knives, wines and boards alongside some varieties of cheese. For baking aficionados, you could try getting utensils and aprons along with spices and cocoa powder.

  • Craft-themed basket

For all your craft-loving mates, you can get some DIY soap, needle and thread, a set of markers and more along with your very own customized, handwritten letters. Tip: You can also ditch the “basket” altogether and opt for a craftier container, such as giant socks or knitted bags!

  • “Pamper yourself” basket

Nothing is quite as delightful as a reminder to relax and take it slow on holidays. For your workaholic friends, pack up a basket of body scrub, loofahs, brushes, scented candles and fresh towels!
