Choosing gifts can put the pressure on, especially if you want to get something that will impress. Anything you can do to take the stress off is a welcome relief! When you have a hard time finding an idea, a gift basket built around a theme is a charming and much-loved gift.

If you are struggling to find that last present, here are some great gift basket ideas to help you finish out your shopping with flair.

Fill this basket with beautiful new kitchen rags and towels and some scented candles, then place a maid service gift certificate inside the basket before you tie it up. Once your recipient’s house is sparkling clean from their maids visit, they will have the nice new towels, rags, and candles to decorate and keep their home looking and smelling great!

Coffee lover in your life? This one is guaranteed to please! A couple of nice coffee cups, some of the best coffee you can find, some coffee cake or biscotti, and a gift card to their favorite café or bistro will be a pleasant surprise and be useful to them for the rest of the winter. 

It’s hard to miss with this one, and couldn’t be simpler. Put some homemade or bakery-quality cookies, nice chocolates, some hot chocolate or coffee mix, and a gift card to a sweet shop or bakery-style restaurant for an extra sweet touch.

This is just a starter list—think about your recipient and what they like, and build a basket around that. Anyone can give a gift card, but tucking one inside a basket of treats is a festive, fun, and much-appreciated way to give a gift!
