Clever Container Ideas

For CHRISTMAS gift containers try using a novelty themed tin (without the lid) or a re-usable Christmas themed shopping tote. These gift containers work really well and are a great alternative to the more traditional gift basket or hamper.

Make your THANKSGIVING BASKETS even more traditional by presenting them in a Cornucopia basket, or maybe you have your own special way of making a thanksgiving basket?

Homemade Gift Towers

You can make your own gift towers SIMPLE and STYLISH by using classic colors such as red and gold for Christmas and dazzling Autumn colors for fall.

Or go for something a bit more funky and choose a container with a holiday theme. Try Santa, or snowmen, or elves, or candy canes, or pumpkins, or turkeys, or anything that’s bright and cheerful and reminds you of the holidays!

1. Choose containers such as boxes or tins in a variety of shapes and sizes.

2. Fill each container with a selection of yummy homemade holiday gifts and stack them on top of each other. Add ribbons and a bow in a co-ordinating color and you’ve created the perfect holiday gift basket!
