How To Make A Coffee Lover Gift Basket
Once you’ve decided on the type of DIY coffee gift baskets to make, the next step is to purchase each of the items and put them together in a lovely gift box.
A great way to save money when putting food gifts together is to gift coffee baskets to several people. This means you can buy coffee items in bulk or sets and put a few into each gift basket. This dramatically reduces the overall cost of each coffee gift box.
You will also need to choose a basket or container to present your items. This could be a simple cane basket, or an item they can use again, such as a storage box, large coffee mug, coffee storage container, a wire basket or even a wooden chopping board.
Then when you’ve received each of the basket items, it’s time to create your gift basket.
You will need:
- The basket or container to hold your items.
- Tissue paper or shredded paper to line the base of your container.
- Clear cellophane and a ribbon to wrap your gift basket items.
Place the larger items into the container first, then gradually add each other item around the largest item, ensuring everything can be seen.
