Last Minute Gift Basket Ideas

Hey there! So we are in the homestretch of the holiday season but sometimes {OK, almost always} we realize that we have a few more gifts we need to pick up. Maybe you have a last minute party to attend or someone you didn’t shop for is coming to Christmas dinner. I love gift baskets and I thought I’d share a few last minute gift basket ideas with you today. They are a quick way to corral and assemble a few awesome goodies and they can be simple or more complex. I’m working on a breakfast themed basket complete with Rae Dunn mugs and Trader Joes amazing bourbon maple syrup. Have you had it? It’s to die for. I have done lots of themed baskets over the years. Here are a few fun ideas that are sure to put a smile on anyone’s face.

There are really so many fun and unique options. One of my favorite places to buy basket fillers is Cost Plus. They have miniature versions of everything from liquor to hot sauce. I also love them for stocking stuffers. Places like HomeGoods and Marshall’s are great for baskets and fillers.

I love this spa basket at The Every Girl.

This neutral farmhouse themed gift basket at Taryn Whitaker is pretty awesome. I love all things b + w.

This little crate of kitchen goodies at Magnolia Home is pretty + practical.

Baking is on most peoples agenda this time of year. How about a sweet basket of baking goodies? A Girl with a Glue Gun has some seriously fun basket ideas on her blog.

Hot cocoa is one of my favorite sweet treats. The whole family would love this basket over at Tom Kat Studio.

Cheese is pretty high on my list of ‘loves’ so this little gift basket would rank #1 for me! The DIY Network did a great job including the basics in this basket.

I can’t find the original source but this Moscow Mule gift basket is so great! Cheers!

Gardening is a passion for many homeowners and this little gift basket is perfect for that green thumb in your life. The Merry Thought thought of everything with this basket of goodies.

Christmas morning is magical and well, busy! Having a fun ready to go basket of coffee is perfect to kick start a busy day {and early morning}. A Night Owl Blog created this pretty basket of goodies.

Angela Marie Made created this home sweet home basket. I love signs so this one would totally be up my alley to create.

A night in is always a welcome idea in this season of hustle and bustle. Kara’s Party Ideas created this simple crate with a free printable.

I can not believe we are in the final countdown until Christmas! Seriously. It’s the most wonderful yet hectic time of the year and it goes way too fast. Like, I can’t even. You know? I am so close to being ready. I have some wrapping to do, I’m wrapping up my meal planning and of course, I have to tackle the grocery shopping and with that comes … Costco. I am sure everything will be crazy busy this week but hey, tis the season. Remember, take deep breathes, show extra kindness and of course give away your best smile as though it was a Christmas gift.
