“No
spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal
face."- John Donne
There is no season more
beautiful and romantic than autumn. To make the time even more memorable for
your near and dear ones why not give them a fall gift basket? A fall gift bag
can be packed with a multitude of items, revolving around this crisp and
colorful season. Since autumn has its own sensory experiences, include gifts
that will charm the senses.
Treat
for the nose
There is nothing that can spark
memories of comfy fall nights better than scented candles. Look for decorative
scented candles online or at a candle store to put inside the gift basket. Use a lot of shredded
paper to make sure the bottom is properly cushioned. There are a variety of
scents that you can gift including, cinnamon, apple, and the like.
For tantalizing
the taste buds
There are so many things that
represent autumn! One great example is caramel apple cider combined with large
assorted cookies. Assemble a large basket with good quality cinnamon sticks,
caramels, assorted cookies and your favorite recipe for homemade apple cider to
make your recipient’s days flavorful.
Apart from this, you can also
theme your basket around seasonal wines. Who wouldn’t like to receive a
wonderful red wine with a rich indulgence of chocolate? But in case your recipient
is a health freak, a gift box tailored with yummy edibles such as apples,
pears, pumpkin cookies, and salted mixed nuts also makes a great option!
For the
eyes
Autumn is the best time to make
memories with your family; hiking through the forests and jumping on the
leaves. There are several gift makers who provide a wide selection of autumn
themed photo frames that can be used to display those perfect moments. You can
also choose to personalize these frames with engravings and color preferences.
Treat for
the ears
The sound of popcorn popping
off the cob and the music player playing festive songs can bring back so many
memories for family and friends. Your gift basket can include your recipient’s
favorite corn flavors and music CD’s. For instance, if your dad loves Frank
Sinatra then perhaps a mix CD of the artist’s favorite hits will make a great
gift! Also, if you’re budget is high, including a portable media player such as
an I-pod won’t hurt.
To Feel
What better way to make all
your senses come alive than a beautifully landscaped house garden? Gifting your
loved ones a basket full of garden necessities makes for a great gift. You can
also put in a pair of gardening gloves that are suitable for collecting leaves
in. Wearing gloves while scraping off the leaves helps cut down on possible
splinters and blisters.
With just a few thoughtful
items, which you can find at a gift shop, you can certainly make your
recipient’s days beautiful! And once all the items are safely arranged inside a
container, tie the basket up with a pretty ribbon to add to its charm.
