How to Create a Winter Gift Basket

Fleece Blanket

Winter gift baskets are great to give to people who love winter or just like having some fun during the cold season. It’s also for those who get “winter blues”. Here are some ideas on what you can throw into the winter gift basket.

Cookies Dough
The reason for giving cookie dough is because during winter, there’s nothing like baking homemade cookies. The smell alone wafting through the house is enough to make you feel happy, especially if you happen to be baking chocolate chip cookies. When you eat them while they’re still warm, it’s a great treat. If you are mailing the gift basket a long distance, opt for sending a small batch of cookies instead of mailing the cookie dough.

Slipper Socks
It doesn’t exactly make you feel warm when you’re walking on a cold floor. A pair of slipper socks makes your feet, as well as your body, feel toasty and warm.

A Pair of Hand Warmers
It’s very uncomfortable to have cold hands in the winter, especially when you just can’t seem to warm them up. A pair of hand warmers will help the recipient to keep their hands nice and warm even when the weather is cold outside. They provide hours of heat so it’s especially useful for those that like to spend time outdoors.

Snowball Maker
It doesn’t matter what age you are, throwing snowballs is fun. It’s a great time getting outside, running around in the snow, and have a snowball fight with your loved ones. However, taking time to bend down, grab some snow, form it into the ball and throw it takes too much time when you’re in a snowball fight. The snowball saves time by forming perfect snowballs for you. All you have to do is throw it!

Boot Grips
These are great to wear when you have to walk on snow or ice. They slip right over the bottom of your boots and help you to walk easier and help to prevent you from falling.

Scented Candles
Candles add a little bit of extra warmth indoors when it’s cold outside. The flickering light and the wonderful scent can relax you and clear up your blues.

Hot chocolate mix or a box of tea bags
You can feel warm on the outside, but there’s nothing like drinking hot tea or hot chocolate on a cold day. If you are giving hot chocolate mix, make sure that you include some small marshmallows!

A fleece blanket
On a very cold day sometimes a regular blanket just won’t do. A fleece blanket will keep you warm no matter how cold it is outside.

After you purchased all of your items, put them in a nice wicker basket. On the bottom of the basket, put the fleece blanket. Put all of your items on top of the blanket and put the entire basket in a shrink wrap bag. Tie a nice bow on top and you have yourself a beautiful winter gift basket.
