Fall Gift Basket Ideas

“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.
