Gift Hampers- The perfect gift for any occasion

March 24th, 2015

The problem of indecisiveness when looking for good gifting ideas is very common. Almost everyone has to encounter this menace from time to time. The inability to zero in on a perfect gift often drives people nuts during the holiday or the wedding season. Finally unable to come up with anything good, they are forced to go with gifts that are called the safe gifts like a box of chocolates, scented and colourful candles, expensive bubble bath, imported perfumes or office stationery. Even though these gifts do not fail, yet they lack the personal touch usually associated with gifts. Gifts like these are more often than not considered mundane and impersonal.

Why go for gift hampers?

It is simply due to its convenience that the trend of presenting gift hampers has caught on like wildfire. Gift hampers simply swap out the indecisiveness out of the idea of gifting. The guesswork needed to find the perfect gift is also taken out of the equation. Gift hampers can never be boring as it can be personalized to suit the recipient’s needs. Also, the selection of the items in the hamper can be done by the presenter to show their thoughtfulness and closeness to the recipient.

The universal gifting item

The gift hamper is the perfect gift for a finicky person. The collection of items in it makes sure that even if the person does not like one or two items; he will love the rest and still be able to appreciate the presenter’s gift and effort. These kinds of gifts can be easily presented in weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, as thank you gifts or simply as return gifts.  Hence, the gift hamper is a universal gift that can be simply handed out to anyone while safely hoping that they will love it.

Corporate gift hampers:

Corporate gift hampers in UK are also handed out in offices as a token of thanks and appreciation to the employees from the management. Some companies hand out the gift hampers to their clients during the festive season to win their good faith. The company logo on the items also serves as advertising for the company. Gift hampers, thus, enable the corporate businesses to present people with something that they will like irrespective of their gender or age.

Tips for the gift hamper

Different ideas should be used while assembling a gift hamper. Using the same safe gifts in a hamper does not make it an interesting gift. The services of a gift hamper designer can be taken to come up with a fun and original product.

Unless intended for that very purpose, presenting people with gift hampers having religious messages like “Merry Christmas” is not always welcome as not all people celebrate it. Instead a simple of wish of “Happy Holidays” would be more appropriate.

A gift hamper can be presented as a single gift to a family or a group. The recipients can choose from the items in the hamper. This reduces the presenter’s effort of individually wrapping everyone’s gifts.

How to Gift Baby Shower Hampers

March 11th, 2015

One can decorate baskets to give the new mum at her baby shower. Celebrating baby shower is a great way to congratulate a new mum and help her prepare for bringing up the new born.

One can do well by gifting a baby shower hamper based on a theme.  Especially, if the baby shower itself has a theme, one can incorporate it into the baby shower gift hamper.

Here are a few tips for creating baby shower hampers:

  • Choosing the Basket:  Select a basket, which complements your requirements. If you can afford a big budget, consider spending a little extra on beautiful wire baskets or decorative, hand crafted wicker baskets. You can give the recipient, a basket which they can use for a long time after the baby shower party, by selecting a sturdy and handsome one. Also, remember to select a basket that is large enough to hold all the goodies you have selected to gift the new mom. If you pack small items in a large basket, they will look lost, over whelmed and paltry. Or else, do something creative like making the basket with your own hands. You can learn how to do one by referring to crafts magazines.
  • Hampers Based On Themes: If the baby shower has a theme, incorporate it into the design of your baby show hamper. For a shower based on the theme of ‘birds’, choose a basket made of natural fibres. Fill it with nature related items like cleaned pine needles and place decorative eggs amidst other gift items. Some things that fits thematically in the gift hampers are egg shaped soaps. Place brooch, comb, barrette and bird shaped paper weights inside the hamper.

Instead, if the baby shower has a beach theme, the contents of your gift hamper will be different. This makes for an excellent gender-neutral gift hamper. Fill your basket with sea shells and some green ribbons to resemble sea weed. To further adhere to the theme, replace woven wicker baskets by beach pails. Try and get metal pails from crafts shops and paint them attractively in pastel shades. Fill hamper with sea shell shaped cookies, marzipan and chocolates.

  • Gender Neutral Themes: If the gender of the baby is already known, it is easy to go forward with pink and blue decorations. For a gender neutral theme, experiment with the colour palette and choose colours that do not fit the boyish or girlish stereotype. A charming and inexpensive way to decorate a hamper is using colourful ribbons. Just thread a few satin ribbons along the edges or around the handles of their basket. You can include pink and blue along with other pastels like buttercup yellow, moss green and lavender.

Decorate with silk or paper flowers. Buy ornamental butterflies and bees from local crafts shops and keep alongside the flowers. The decoration of the baby shower basket can be made complete with stars and other celestial objects. You can wind silver ribbons around the basket and fill it with moons and stars. Such ornaments can be found at online crafts shores that stock such Christmas decorations, the year round.

  • Baby Items: Fill basket with baby items. These may include stuffed toys, powder, lotions, ointments, diapers, teething rings, bibs and baby clothes. Arrange items carefully according to a colour scheme.

These are some ideas for baby shower gift hampers. Get hampers delivered by a reliable courier if you cannot do it yourself.
