Pulling together a simple gift basket is a nice way to show someone how much you care. Gather up a few of their favorite items, throw in some things that you know they will love, and add a little personalization. The formula is easy and the creation is fun.
I’m showing you how to put together a cozy gift basket for under $10 that is customized for a very special person.
I’ve also gathered up a collection of gift ideas you can create using items from Dollar Tree and your Cricut.
Dollar Tree gift basket
This store is full of affordable items in just about every shopping category. They always stock unique seasonal items for every holiday, but you will find everyday useful items as well.
From food and personal care to home and auto Dollar Tree has a little bit of everything. This makes the store a destination when putting together a simple gift basket.
I made this cozy gift basket for a winter birthday. I focused on 1 color theme and gathered items that would help the recipient relax and indulge a little.
This cozy winter gift basket includes
- Red plastic bin
- White ceramic soup mug
- Jar candle
- Gloves
- Cozy socks
- Tea
- Chocolate
- Cookies
- Decorative filler
These items create a wonderful gift that a friend, co-worker or teacher would love. You could add a card or printable gift tag in addition to the vinyl to really make this a unique gift.
I chose to add a little personalization using my Cricut.
Personalize a gift with Cricut
Using a Cricut machine to but personalized designs with vinyl is a great way to add a little something extra to a Dollar Tree gift basket.
I’ve used vinyl to personalize Dollar Tree items like these Thanksgiving trivets and Christmas door hanger.
For this cozy basket I used scraps of white and black permanent vinyl to customize the candle, mug and basket in this gift.
