Five Ideas for Valentine’s Day Gift Baskets

Movie Basket

Put together a movie basket for the movie lover in your life. Include a gift card for a local theater or surprise your honey with tickets to an upcoming showing of a movie he or she has been wanting to see, a favorite movie (or two) on DVD, a box of microwave or popping corn, a bottle soda or other favorite beverage and some candy snacks. Include a homemade coupon good for a special movie night at home to make use of the DVD and other snacks.

Spa Basket

A spa basket can be geared toward your sweetie whether they are male or female. For women, include some great smelling body wash and bubble bath, assorted creams and lotions to pamper feet, hands, and body, some body spray, a pillow for the bathtub, some scented candles, and a loofah sponge. Don’t forget to add a gift certificate to a local spa for a massage, a makeover, or a manicure and pedicure. {Check out these posts for Gifts in a Jar Spa Ideas: Peppermint Sugar Scrub, Sugar Cookie Scrub, Coffee Sugar Scrub, Lavender Body Butter, and Make a Simple Sugar Scrub.}

For the guy in your life, fill the basket with some of his favorite cologne, body wash, a few chocolates, and a gift certificate for a massage at a local massage therapist. If you are good at giving massages yourself, skip the outing and include a coupon good for a relaxing massage and perhaps a little romance at home.

Chocolate Lover’s Basket

Does your sweetie love sweets? If your honey loves chocolate treats, create a special gift basket just for chocolate lovers. Include a variety of your lover’s favorite chocolate treats — including a mug and some hot chocolate mixes — and don’t forget to add plenty of chocolate kisses!

Book Lover’s Basket

If your sweetheart is an avid reader, create a book lover’s basket as a special Valentine’s Day treat. Include a blank journal and a nice pen for recording thoughts and reading lists, a gift card for a local book store, a few favorite paperbacks, and a homemade coupon good for a block of uninterrupted reading time! Add a few candy snacks to indulge in during the reading time and your book worm will love it.

Fun Basket

Not sure what your sweetie would really like in a gift basket? How about creating a fun basket full of goofy goodness? Visit your local dollar store to stock up on gag gifts like a whoopee cushion, chattering teeth, moldable fun dough, silly little toys, a Slinky, and a variety of other fun things to occupy time. This is a whimsical basket that will just be good for laughs and silliness.

A gift basket can provide a variety of gifts to your sweetie. Choose one of these or take some inspiration and create your own. Your Valentine is sure to love it!
