Create
A Gift Basket For A Cat Lover!
By Donna Hamer
The choice of what gift to
give your family and friends can often be a difficult one. One
of the best gifts that you can give is a themed gift basket.
A gift basket is that one present that comes in many shapes,
themes and of course price ranges. A gift basket can also be
a new arrival gift idea for that family pet.
The diversity of gift baskets
is never-ending. You can give a cat gourmet food gift basket
(make sure they are good quality products to ensure the feline
doesn’t reject the food!) or a bath and grooming necessities
gift basket. In fact the list is endless.
Here is a simple basket that
you can easily create yourself for that special “Cat Lover”.
Pick a basket style. I like
to use either a bucket (can be used to store grooming products
in) or a cat basket. There are a lot of choices on the market
so choose between one with two side handles or without handles.
A cat likes to feel snug in their environment so a closed in
fabric padded style basket will also be well received. Make certain
the basket is large enough to hold the gifts you have selected
and of course if it is intended for the cat to sleep in it, large
enough to accommodate that special Feline.
Choose a color that complements
the cat lover's home decor. If in doubt, choose a neutral color
by selecting a natural wicker basket.
Next select a variety of items
that have a cat theme. When selecting the gifts for the cat lover
choose items with cat themes such as cat calendars, coffee mugs,
computer mouse pads, T-shirts, note cards, stationery, cat magazines,
include fiction and nonfiction books and picture frames.
Select some grooming brushes
and cat toys for their cat.
If you are on a budget try
a small basket and include:
A photo frame, a disposable
camera to take some memorable moments between the recipient and
their special feline, a photo
album, along with a voucher for photo finishing.
When you are finished choosing
the gifts and have selected the
basket, wrap the completed Gift Basket with cellophane paper
and a nice ribbon to give it a finishing touch. Use shredded
paper inside the basket to hold the goodies in place. Tie a humorous
gift tag with a message for that added touch.
