5 Easy DIY Christmas Gift Basket Ideas | Holiday Gift Guide 2018

[@lakb45]

Best gift basket I ever received: I was just starting out in my own apartment and my Grandpa bought me a laundry basket, found out what brand of products I liked to use and filled it with practical items-paper towels, soap, spray cleaners, Kleenex, etc. It really helped me when I was starting from nothing, plus, I could spend a few more $$ on fun items!! (My Grandpa was the BEST!)

[@BlairLamb]

How sweet!

[@cheyennetait2576]

Awwww🥺

[@vintagetitanic26]

I am a student, and I’ve done most of these gifts much smaller for my professors and teacher-like friends throughout the years! My favorite that I’ve done was last year, much like your warm beverage basket. I got large mugs and filled them with different tea bags and chocolates and added a coco mix and my favorite part was getting white Easter grass and sparkling it around to look like whipped cream! I had so much fun making them and got everything I needed for under $25!

[@hj471230]

I love this these are not like every other gift guide on yt. Buy something, stick it in a gift bag, and hope for the best. There’s several trips I have coming up and I came back to watch this to prepare some personal thank you gifts for the friends that will be hosting me. 💙

[@sandraorganizationseeking1685]

Love the basket w blanket and the hostess gifts. NEVER even thought of those! Confession.... I have found some really cool baskets at he Goodwill a while back. I found NICE ones for .99....shhhhh

[@ashleycapps1720]

Wow I really liked the cup gift. I work for a large retail chain and adore many of my coworkers. So what a great way this year to let them all know they are special to me, but not having to take out a loan. Lol thank you!!

[@TheLacyPeas]

My daughter is going to use the tumbler idea for her friends. Perfect for a teen gift!

[@stephanietaylor626]

You’re so right that often it’s the small unexpected gifts that really mean a lot

[@BlairLamb]

Totally!

[@StylishTeach]

My sister in law commutes all day for her work, so we gifted her a car essentials canvas basket. We put everything from air fresheners to lint rollers to a chick fill a gift card in there. She loved unwrapping all the goodies and is delighted!

[@BlairLamb]

What a fantastic idea!

[@auntjennik1]

Ohhh some soup in the basket with hot cocoa, coffee & mugs would be good too! Those mugs are big enough to have a nice warm bowl of soup in. ☺️

[@BlairLamb]

What a great idea!

[@marygrott8095]

For the last couple of years, I e made my son a soup gift basket as one of his Christmas gifts. I started it when he was in college, but he enjoys it so much, I have decided to make it a tradition

[@amandacarroll9611]

I love soft blankets, candles, hot cocoa! I would be thrilled to get any of these baskets!❤❤❤

[@wimberley707]

This is so great. Planning to use the cozy basket idea for a white elephant exchange at work. Thanks!

[@wimberley707]

Our white elephant party was yesterday and my gift was the first chosen and was continuously fought over! Yay!

[@SweetlyHome]

We do a gift exchange with the women in our family and you don't know who you are buying for. The ages range from 18-85 and it's always tricky to find a great gift that would please most people. You gave some great ideas and I may use one for our exchange. Just subscribed! 🎄

[@katscott4]

They are all great, I especially like the hot chocolate/coffee mug idea. I have a similar idea that I will be doing as family gifts this year, for my siblings.

[@delovely8006]

I love giving (and receiving) gift baskets for the holidays!! This type of video is right up my alley, so please do more!! I’m making a movie night gift basket for each of my nephews. You can get redbox codes and print/attach them to bags of unpopped popcorn. Add in some boxed candy and voila! I purchased super cute plastic vintage looking popcorn buckets from amazon to put everything in (a pack of 4 for around $6). It’s inexpensive to make ($10) and I think they will really enjoy using their gifts together to have a movie night!

[@BlairLamb]

Such a cute idea!

[@eileendolenk2822]

Great ideas! My sister in law hosts Thanksgiving every year and I always take a hostess gift for her, these are all so much fun! I can't decide which one to use!

[@victoriabulger9589]

These are great ideas! I especially love the Hostess with the Mostess bundle... so much more creative than bringing flowers or a plant. Also, I’ve been loving the Mrs. Meyers products lately. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@lisab9541]

Are these products available in stores or just online ordering?

[@BlairLamb]

@@lisab9541 I've seen them at Target!

[@ashleywagner8650]

I love these ideas! I think I’ll use some of them with a quality-time gift, too (e.g. plan a time to go ice skating together, followed by a movie night enjoying some treats like the hot chocolate basket, etc). Thanks for all of your helpful (and enjoyable) videos!

[@ImMerelyMelissa]

Thank you for these ideas! You have given me some great ideas to bump up the gifts that my husband's work gave them to give to clients! Also the cozy bundle will be great for my son's girlfriend!

[@BlairLamb]

So glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@misstbikini]

I want to use these ideas for family that sometimes u dont know real well and u want to be thoughtful:) thank you!

[@shereebirkhead2003]

Wonderful video! I do gift baskets for work where we raffle off our baskets and use the money to buy toys etc for kids in the hospital on Christmas. I am doing the cozy night in basket this year :)

[@candaceteran3949]

Such great ideas! If I may add to this what I like to do is lightly pass a lighter at the end of ribbons to keep them from fraying ❤️

[@ladylaura8038]

What a holiday help! Was just thinking what to give my daughters college friends so it’s the tumbler idea for them 🎄🎄Thank you

[@BlairLamb]

What a sweet idea!

[@rebeccaly]

Love these ideas so much! They’re so cute and I’m sure anyone would love to receive these gifts! They’re so functional and thoughtful :) ❤️

[@kimseay7135]

Thanks for sharing these gift ideas that can be used beyond the Holiday season. 👍

[@madisonsierras]

Very grateful that you're putting this out early for those of us who want to have a jump on things before it all turns hectic!! Btw, based on your main video, sending smooth and positive travel energy your way this week!

[@BlairLamb]

Thank you, Madison! It's been a slight hustle to get these videos out early, so I'm very glad the timing works well for you!!

[@lisaleviton8312]

What a great video!! I'm going to make the cozy basket for my friend who is having surgery.

[@krisk6011]

Such great ideas ... would love to receive any of these. Thanks!

[@Lflower1Stars]

I'm making 3 baskets as a movie night in....I made a picture snowball with a pass Christmas picture of the couple..added some hot chocolate mix, marshmallows, peppermint spoons, almonds, Christmas kisses in a jar, sugar cookies, Christmas fake tree and a Merrry Christmas red sign.....then added the classic movie "It's a Wonderful Life.......your baskets are really nice too....May give it a try...thanks

[@CarasPlace]

This video is super helpful! I needed ideas for a gift basket for my boyfriend. Thanks for sharing! ✨👍🏽

[@mariag4371]

I love these ideas Blair! My mother-in-law is our daycare provider and I always struggle with a little gift to get her for that. Im definitely using some of these ideas!

[@barbara5836]

Great ideas. Love the cozy basket. I'd add aromatherapy products I make myself. A sweet orange and lavender pillow spray and a soothing Rosemary peppermint bath salts in a mason jar with a cute bow. You can color some of the bath salts with food coloring and layer it in the jar to really give it a pop of color. If you really want to break out your crafty self you can make homemade bath bombs. They sell kits at Hobby Lobby you can buy the molds and then just buy the products to make them yourself. If you buy high-quality essential oils they smell better than the ones from Lush. Have a happy holiday Merry Christmas and Happy New Year:-)

[@antoniaortiz310]

Really liked your ideas. Thank you. Happy Holidays

[@gingerlittle6936]

Wonderful ideas! All of them are things I’d like to give and receive!

[@dalainebloom4505]

These are GREAT IDEAS!!! I loved these. They were all very thoughtful gift ideas!!! Happy Holidays!! 😊👍🏼🎄⛄️❄️🎁

[@laurensawyer330]

Blair, aren't gift baskets just the best?! I love making them for people & of course they are fun to receive too. :-) Love that "Cozy Homebody Basket"! I'm actually in the process of making a similar "Cup of Warm" one. And I'm making a beauty-type one for a couple of women in my family. I'm filling up a cosmetic bag with items I know they use, plus I always like to add lip balms & hand lotions. And I totally agree that consumable type items are always great to give. Thanks for sharing your ideas!

[@jershumuyo2734]

Love the ideas, thank you for getting my spider web covered cogs spinning in my head. I do believe I will do a home body basket for Christmas and improvise a bit with maybe a salt lamp and diffuser/oil set. Thank you so much!

[@BlairLamb]

Great idea!

[@mumandboys7161]

Wow!I love all of them,will definitely be doing these but they won't look nowhere near as good as yours,thanks for the ideas xx

[@Janna_Ash]

Love it! You’ve given me some good ideas for several people I want to give gifts to.

[@lindseybenefield740]

[@ChaBlaque5181]

I am definitely using the first gift for my grandsons teacher's. I love it.

[@sandrapeca5189]

Such a good video. I love how everything you mentioned you can buy pretty much anywhere. I think it would be great if you had a price breakdown.

[@BlairLamb]

Thanks for watching, Sandra! They're in order from least expensive to most expensive. (With the exception of the Mrs. Meyers bundle.)

[@kalebjames-patrick5464]

You look beautiful just like your basket Blair Lamb

[@kathibold1970]

Love the ideas and definitely making the cookie basket! Thank you!

[@MaryChrapliwy]

I'll definitely do a couple of these for Christmas this year - thanks for posting this!

[@mamabenzing5872]

I do something like the cookie basket, but to make it even cheaper I put all the dry ingredients together in a mason jar and decorate the jars. I have the directions and how much and what of the wet ingredients to use. I usually do chocolate chip or oatmeal cookies. I make them for the guys in my family, I never know what to get them, but they love food!

[@BlairLamb]

Awesome idea!

[@phyllismarony8948]

Thanks for sharing this video.you gave me some great ideas.

[@GilbertBeans]

It’s always hard to know how to give a GC. I really want to focus on gifts with more of a purpose than just buying random things. 🖤 The cup would be perfect for cancer patients as well. Speaking from experience, these items would be helpful and well received.
