| Gift baskets are a great way to make a personal gift for family or friends. This article includes many ideas of containers and themes to help you get started on a gift basket for everyone on your list. Gift baskets can be a lot of fun for you and the recipient and don't have to cost a lot of money.The RecipientThe first thing to consider is who you are giving the basket to:- What do they like?
- What are their hobbies?
- What do they need?
- What do they like to eat?ContainersThe container or "basket" doesn't have to be expensive. Pick a theme (some are listed below) and find a container that goes with the theme that can hold some items or have items attached to it.

Below are some of my ideas for containers but there certainly are many more possibilities.- Baskets of all shapes and sizes
