Harvesting Happiness: Your Fall Gift Basket Guide

Along with the crisp, cool air and crunchy golden leaves, fall brings a season full of comfort, gathering, and giving. If you are planning to attend a happy harvest celebration, host a cozy tea party, or dress up for a formal banquet, you’re going to want the perfect fall gift to come along. Gift baskets are popular around this time of the year because they are so easy and versatile. You can let your creative side shine while letting your Neofriends know that you care. The best part is how heartfelt and thoughtful a gift basket can be. DIY-ers everywhere rejoice! And if you cringe at the thought of doing any type of craft - don’t worry! My basket-building gift guide will give you the inspiration you need to assemble the perfect fall gift basket. 1). Choose your theme - Any amazing gift basket is sure to have a theme, and fall makes it so simple to choose a good one. Perhaps you are a purveyor of pumpkins, obsessed with apples, or a total fungi fanatic (mushroom & Sroom lovers unite!) - cutesy fall themes are abundant. Capture the essence of all your favourite fall things in one bundle. You could focus on a colour theme, too. Orange accents with gingham patterned ribbons makes for a charming display. Maybe you want to go for a spookier look? Make it a Halloween theme! Ghosts, ghouls, zombies, bats, maybe even a Mutant Graveyard of Doom motif! Show them you care while giving them a scare!
