Being on a budget may influence which gift basket you decide to send, but with so many choices, you should not have any problems finding one that fits the occasion. Because those on a budget have to be more creative, the basket you choose should reflect the personality of the person receiving it to show them they are appreciated.

When shopping for a gift basket that suits your budget, you should:

Â¥ Consider all options before making a decision
Â¥ Find out more about the person or group receiving the basket
Â¥ Decide if you prefer a theme basket or an Ã" All Occasion Õ basket
Â¥ Always include a card
Â¥ Consider size, shape, and colors

By keeping these guidelines in mind, you should find a few baskets that meet your financial requirements.

ADDING TO YOUR BASKET

If you find a gift basket whose price falls under your budget price, you can add extra items by purchasing them separately. Creating a truly unique gift basket is fun and easy. Add additional food items, a stuffed animal, or add more decorations.

The person receiving your gift basket will never guess you were on a budget when you add a few personal touches.

SUBSTITUTING ITEMS

Finding a more expensive basket and substituting items can bring down the cost and allow you more choices when it comes to creating a unique gift. Substitute food items or keepsakes for smaller versions or choose other smaller items that are available.

CREATING YOUR OWN BASKET

If you have difficulty finding a gift basket that meets your budget, consider designing a small gift basket yourself. You choose what you want to include, add decorative touches, and choose individual items that cost is less than what is included in theme or special occasion gift baskets. You can browse price lists for items and build your own basket.

When on a budget, you should still try to find the best gift basket you can. There are many ways to cut costs in order to afford what you want. The most important idea to keep in mind is who you are sending the basket to and why. People appreciate getting gifts whether they are large or small and appreciate the idea that you were thinking about them.
