Putting Together The Perfect Gift Bag

I always never know how to put together some really fun guest baskets for friends! Thankfully I have my sweet friend Casey to share her ideas on what she’s done!

I have 3 guidelines that I like to use when curating a gift bag:
The Audience – If you’re like most people you will be invited to several different types of gatherings – those with friends, those with family and those with acquaintances.  How well you know the recipient(s) of the gift bag will really direct the types of gift items you select.  I know my family and I know exactly what they want (most of the time).  For friends, I can normally find things that I know they love as well as things that are a silly or fun representation of our friendship.  For an acquaintance, I like to keep it pretty general and include things that MOST people love to get any time of year (and yes, this does include gift cards…I promise, people DO love them and you do not have to go out of your way to hand-crochet something personal.  Just give them the Starbucks gift card and they will love you forever).
The Occasion – Now that we know who we are curating the gift bag for, the occasion will determine the “theme” of your gift bag.  For example: I am leaving to go on a girls weekend with close friends this weekend and in their swag bag I have included: monogrammed turkish towels, cute graphic tanks, Corkscicle tumblers, sunnies and my favorite SunBum sunscreen & SunBum lip balm with SPF.  I’ll throw in some canned wine for good measure 😉 .  If you’re putting together a gift bag for a mom-to-be or new mom, you may want to include things that will make her feel comfortable:  a soft robe, nursing tanks, slippers, rubberbands, lip balm, a mug (for ALL THE COFFEE), a subscription to a grocery delivery service, etc.  Once you’ve determined the theme of the bag/basket it’s really easy to start thinking of the items that would fit the bill.  
The Personal Touch – It’s nice to add a little “stamp” or “signature” on your gifts.  Whether it be adding a fun item in place of a gift tag (ex: for a baby shower: a rattle/small plush toy; bridal shower: kitchen utensils) or including a monogrammed item, it’s a fun way to show you put some thought into the gift.  I like to put gifts in reusable containers whether that be a basket, a tote or something similar.
I put together a few “example lists” for different types of gift bags you can put together for your next occasion!
GIRLS WEEKEND/BACHELORETTE

NEW MOM/EXPECTANT MOM

 TEACHER APPRECIATION

As you can see these are general ideas to fill out your basket and you can mix and match quite a few things for different occasions.  Don’t forget to add your own unique touch!
Happy Giving!
Casey

    I’ve been browsing online more than three hours lately, but I never discovered any fascinating article like yours.

    It is beautiful price sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good
    content material as you probably did, the internet will probably be much
    more helpful than ever before.

    The world hopes for more passionate writers such as you who are not afraid to

    My developer is trying to persuade me to move
    to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because
    of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on a number of
    websites for about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform.
    I have heard great things about blogengine.net.
    Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it?
    Any help would be really appreciated!

    I’m not sure why but this site is loading extremely slow for me.
    Is anyone else having this problem or is it a issue on my end?
    I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what all is required to get setup?
    I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?

    I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% sure.
    Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Appreciate it

    I think what you wrote was very reasonable. However, what about this?
    what if you were to write a awesome headline? I ain’t saying your content is
    not good., however what if you added a title that grabbed people’s attention? I
    mean Putting Together The Perfect Gift Bag – Cait's Cozy Corner is kinda boring.
    You should look at Yahoo’s home page and see how they create news headlines to get people interested.
    You might add a related video or a related pic or two to
    grab people excited about everything’ve got to say. Just
    my opinion, it might make your website a little bit more interesting.

    Unquestionably believe that which you said. Your favorite justification seemed to be on the web the
    easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get irked while people think about worries that they just don’t know about.
    You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without
    having side effect , people can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more.
    Thanks
