We have friends that live over 400 miles away, so S thought it would be fun to send their two children a Valentine’s Day Gift Basket. We thought it was an extra special way to let them know we are thinking of them.
I picked up all of the items for my gift basket at Target with the majority of them coming from Bullseye’s Playground (the former Dollar Spot). I don’t know about you but I have to start every shopping trip to Target at Bullseye’s Playground – adding way too many items to my cart!
This gift basket focused on baking, so we included cookie mix, heart-shaped cookie cutters, sprinkles, and fun Valentine’s Day straws for a drink of milk while eating the cookies. S also picked out a couple of small toys, window clings and of course, wrote out Valentines for each child.
If you are assembling a gift basket, I always like to place something in the bottom of the basket, in this case, a dishtowel. Then starting in the back of the basket with the tallest items and moving towards the front with the smallest items. The small wire basket and heart canvas bag I used were both in Bullseye’s Playground; either one makes the perfect container for a gift. Similar wire basket option here. Since we were sending our package we opted for the canvas bag.
While we mailed our gift basket, you could drop it off at a friends’ house. This gift basket would also be perfect to give to your own children for a fun family activity.
