Give Unusual Gift Baskets to Make Them Smile!

Gift baskets might be tried and true, but unusual gift baskets will make recipients sit up and take notice!

You can give unique, creative, and inexpensive gifts with unusual gift baskets! Everyone's familiar with gift baskets, but when you give unusual gift baskets you're sure to make them smile. Better yet, unusual gift baskets are easy and fun to make! Give it a try: you may just wind up making unusual gift baskets for everyone on your list!

For Pet Lovers

You know that friend with the eight rabbits, five dogs, six cats, and a bunch of birds flopping around her house? This basket is for her!

-a cute and cuddly stuffed animal (in the hopes of keeping her from getting anymore live ones!)
-cleaning supplies (she needs them)
-recipe cards for homemade cat and dog treats
-a donation to the SPCA in her name
-a unique gift from Pet Gift Shop

For Bookworms

Any friends with an English degree, a membership card at a bookstore, or more books than shoes will love these gifts!

-a bookworm charm
-a gift certificate from a local bookstore
-a super nice bookmark (or make your own!)
-literary action figures
-discount books from Book Closeouts


For the Chocolate Lover

If you have a friend who drools every time you pass the candy shop, this might be the gift basket for her!

-Sushi chocolate
-Chocolate perfume
-A chocolate cookbook (one with recipes for chocolate, not one made out of chocolate)
-An assortment of hot cocoa flavors
-A small selection of gourmet or homemade chocolates

For the Too-Busy-To-Take-Care-of-Herself

We all know these people: the Supermoms who hold down full-time jobs while knitting beautiful sweaters for everyone they know and volunteering three days a week at the soup kitchen. These people need someone to make them take a little time off!

-a day planner
-a calendar for busy moms and families
-A selection of quick beauty fixes (don't buy her bubble bath, she'll never use it. Go for two minute mud masks or quick pedicure kits).
-A bottle of Advil
-A bottle of wine
-Edible treats: cookies, chocolates, and candy!
-Cookies in a jar

With a little imagination, you can make unusual gift baskets for anyone! As long as you know what the recipients love, unusual gift baskets just might be the easiest gifts of all.
