Creative, festive, ways to decorate a gift basket?

xmonkeyangel09x asked:


I’m giving a gift basket to a co-worker for secret santa but I would like to make to decorative, rather than just a plain basket. I was thinking of putting cotton on the bottom to make it kind of a snowy wonderland, but I soon realized she doesn’t like touching cotton. Anyone have ideas?

    you could glue candy canes to the side

    cut out snowflakes from construction paper, or buy glittery snowflakes and glue those to the side.

    red and gold ribbons and bells

    guessing you mean straight cotton-line it with Christmas towels or colorful linen napkins.

    or maybe holiday tissue paper.

    Instead of a basket, buy a little stocking, and fill it with tinsel and candy canes, and all that kind of stuff. I personally love stockings, so that’s what I’d want somebody to get me. It’s a creative, fun and festive gift.
