With our thoughtfully made gift baskets, your recipient not only receives a gift they are sure to love, they also get a beautiful basket to reuse again and again! Below are 25 of our favorite, creative ways to reuse these baskets:
- Re-gift! Of course - we're all about the gifting.
- Line it with a towel or napkin and fill it with chips or any other snack for a beautiful serving dish
- Use it to store blankets in an aesthetically pleasing way
- Or, put one cozy blanket in a basket for a makeshift pet bed (our cat is a big fan of this one!)
- Put it on your closet shelf to stack your sweaters in
- Fill it with bottles of wine for a charity auction (always a popular option to get plenty of bids!)
- Use it to stash photos or cards that you want to keep safe
- Stick on a shelf in your bathroom for headbands and hair scarves
- Use it as a centerpiece on your table, with candles in the middle
- Serve bread rolls in the basket, fresh out of the oven
- If it's a smaller basket, put it on your sink to display hand towels
- For the moms out there: use it to store small toys in it, especially action figures and matchbox cars
- Put in a plastic lining and use it to pot a beautiful plant
- Use it for an aesthetically pleasing way to hold firewood
- Stack books inside for extra storage for your guilty pleasure reads
- Set it on the side of your cheese and charcuterie board to arrange your crackers and flatbreads within
- Line your card games inside a smaller basket to find them all in one place
- The flatter baskets are great for setting silverware in for buffets
- Easy storage for hats and gloves to grab on your way out the door
- Use a big basket to put away stuffed animals in kids' rooms
- Choose two smaller baskets to store your root vegetables in (don't forget to always separate your potatoes and onions!)
- Spruce up your bathroom with a basket used to store toilet paper
- Display lemons on your table in the summer or gourds in the fall or pinecones in the winter for a lovely seasonal decoration
- Put a small basket on your bar to hold wine glass markers and cocktail napkins
- Finally, a good old faithful way to use a basket: for laundry!
