Create
A Gift Basket For A Dog 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 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.
The diversity of gift baskets
is never-ending. You can give a doggy gourmet food gift basket
or a bath and grooming necessities gift basket. In fact the different
type of gift baskets you can create is endless.
Here is a simple basket that
you can easily create yourself for that special “Dog Lover”.
Pick a basket style. I like
to use either a bucket or use a dog basket. There are a lot of
choices on the market so choose between one with a handle, with
two side handles or without handles. Make certain the basket
is large enough to hold the gifts you have selected and of course
if it is intended for the dog to sleep in it, large enough to
accommodate the dog.
Choose a color that complements
the dog 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 dog theme which will
later be packed into the decorative basket that you have chosen
especially for the recipient.
When selecting the gifts for
the dog lover choose items with dog themes such as dog calendars,
coffee mugs, computer mouse pads, T-shirts, note cards, stationery,
dog magazines, include fiction and nonfiction books and picture
frames.
Select some doggie bones and
dog chew toys for the pooch or
pooches.
To add a little extra to your
gift basket for the Dog Lover include:
A cap with the dogs name embroidered
on the front, some sunscreen for when they are out walking together
and a poo catching holder for the collection bags;
If you are on a budget try
a small basket and include:
A picture frame, a disposable
camera to record an outing with their pooch, a record book to
record events, a photo album, along with a voucher for photo
finishing.
When you are finished, wrap
the 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.
