BACHELORETTE GIFT BASKET IDEAS (QUICK OVERVIEW)

What we love about gift baskets is the fact that there are so many beautiful filler ideas (such as dried flowers, DIY craft kits, gourmet treats, luxe pamper products); meaning that each basket has the potential to be truly unique, well thought-out and PERFECT for its recipient! What's more, you can tailor these beauties to a particular theme (whether by choice, or so that it compliments the celebration nicely). Will your best friend love an 'adventure basket'? Perhaps a 'favourite things' basket or a pamper basket' is better suited? Or is she more of a foodie - in which case a food lovers or even wine lovers basket would be ideal? As you can see, the options are endless. Have fun brainstorming and creating!

​Our Top Tips for Creating Bachelorette Party Gift Baskets

​
MAKE IT A THOUGHTFUL GIFT
Rather than grabbing a gift basket online, we highly recommend putting one together yourself. There are a few reasons for this:

1. You know for a fact that she will love the contents (because you know her!)
2. The fact that her close friends and family members have put so much thought into this will be enough to bring your girl to happy tears!
3. You can tailor it to your event theme (if applicable)

BRAINSTORM
To hit the first tip, you first need to brainstorm.

​Which basically means questioning everything!

What are your best friend's interests? Is there something she's talked about buying, but not done so yet? Is there an item she'd love to own, but can't bring herself to splurge? What are her favourite things to do or places to go?

If this is a gift for the couple, think of their relationship. What is their favourite date? Can you create a basket based on this? Is there a new restaurant they're keen to try? A movie they'd love to see? Or a place they'd love to go?

Food, drinks, physical items, experiences - get creative, think outside the box, and make a list of everything you come up with. This will help you put together something extra special.

BRING IT ALL TOGETHER
You've got your list, now it's time to create some magic! But first, how will you put together your basket?


The Adventure Gift Basket
Filled to the brim with fun activities and experience ideas. This would make for the ideal 'date' or 'to do' list in the couple's first year of marriage.

Include vouchers to local experiences, snacks that can be taken on expeditions, a first aid kit, and reusable water bottles. Personalise the hamper with notes from guests, outlining their own adventurous tips (such as their favourite hiking trails, camping spots, bike rides and sunrise/sunset views).

Handy Tip:
For a more practical gift, place adventure items into a backpack rather than a basket.

The 'Favorite Things' Gift Basket
As the heading states - this is all about the bride and her favorite things.

Fillers could include anything from her most-loved snacks and beverages, to her favourite makeup, music and plants. Vouchers to her hairdresser and beloved cafe's are also an option, as is a bunch of her favourite flowers.

The result? A useful gift that's also incredibly meaningful.

​
The Foodie Gift Basket
For the bride who appreciates life's flavours, the best bachelorette gift idea involves food and drink.

In this gift basket you could include vouchers to local eateries or nearby chocolateries, surprise dining experiences, cooking classes or a sweet pre-booked picnic. Guests can add their favorite recipes to the mix, along with one of their favourite gourmet snacks.

Top it all off with an assortment of the bride's most loved foods.

Handy Tip:
For an extra special touch, frame a recipe that' s been passed down through the generations in the bride (and groom's) family. Place this, along with all of the ingredients needed, into the basket. A thoughtful present that can be used time and again.

​​The Themed Gift Basket
Filled with items that pair well with your event theme.

Your best friend loves the beach, for example, so you're hosting a beach themed bachelorette. Her particular gift basket may contain some tropical cocktails, a voucher for her favourite bathers store, foods that can be used for a beach picnic, sunglasses, luxe lip balm, a cotton sarong and/or a beach towel.

Pack in a beach bag rather than a basket for added effect.

The Pamper Gift Basket
There's no better time to give the gift of indulgence than in the lead up to a wedding.

Filled with anything from mini champagne bottles, bubble bath, bath salts, essential oils and eye masks, to nail polish, makeup, lip balm and even a herbal tea sampler - there are items to suit every style.

If you're looking to splurge a little, bridal robes or a spa weekend are sure to go down a treat. And when it comes to vouchers, massage, hair or nails will be well-received.

Basically, by including your friend's favourite products and experiences, you really can't go wrong!

The Wine Lovers Gift Basket
A gift that any connoisseur would adore.

Wine gift baskets might include a bottle or two of vino (complete with custom labels), an assortment of cheese, crackers and gourmet chocolates, a couple of wine tumblers, and perhaps even a wine tour experience (if you're after a big ticket item).

A great way to personalise this basket is by adding winery/wine suggestions from friends. Print off images of each guest and ask that they write their favourite winery and bottle of wine on the back. They might even like to include a little story about why it's their favourite. The couple can make their way through these suggestions at their leisure, comparing notes as they go.
