How to Craft the Perfect Gift Basket
/If you’re looking for a unique and thoughtful gift, might we recommend a gift basket? Whether you’ve got a bridal shower, birthday, housewarming, or a holiday coming up a curated basket is a stylish and memorable present.
A perfectly put together gift pack includes a few key categories that can be tailored specifically to the recipient and whatever you’re celebrating. Think of it like a choose your own adventure for gift giving, where every ending is an elevated gift that is sure to be a hit!
Start with… you guessed it, a basket. Then add something practical, something festive, something to eat, something to drink out of, and of course something to drink. We’ve got some suggestions depending on the occasion you’re gifting for, and we’ve linked all of the items so that you can start collecting what you need to make the best gift basket ever!
Something Practical
Whether it’s a fun art print or a cookbook that fits your friend or loved one’s lifestyle, everyone appreciates a practical but posh gift! To create a visually appealing basket, choose something larger but flat as a backdrop to the rest of the items in your gift basket!
Something Festive
This category is definitely the place for something fun you saw at a local boutique that’s not quite *enough* of a gift on it’s own. Or if you’re looking to fill out a basket for someone who seems to have everything, some holiday specific flowers are always a good choice!
Something to Eat
Everybody loves a treat, from birthday cake flavored everything to holiday specific candy. Edible treats can be a great way to fill out a gift basket, and if you’re shopping for someone with a new home, give them some spice mixes to fill their cabinets (or use until they unpack their own!). Hopefully if your gift recipient can’t wait and breaks into the treats right away, you’ve packed enough to share!
Something to Drink From
Everyone loves a good cup, especially one that feels special. Mr & Mrs. wine flutes can be used well beyond the “bride” phase, and insulated wine tumblers can be used all year long (because no one likes warm white wine!)
Something Luna Nuda
Would it really be a celebration without a bottle of Luna Nuda? We always recommend adding a bottle of wine to your gift baskets, and not just because of who we are. A bottle of wine is a great way to keep the celebration going, whether the wine is chilled down that day or the next week. Whenever your friends and family open their bottle of Luna Nuda, they’ll think about your gift and that you were there to celebrate with them!
We’d love to see your Luna Nuda gift baskets, so when you (or your friends) share on Instagram, tag us and use the hashtag #giftlunanuda so we can see (and share, of course!)
