Use a paper shredder to shred fun paper to fill on top of the other stuffing instead of buying already shredded! I’ve done that and it works great🎄

[@homemakingdownsouth]

That is such a good idea!!!!!!! Never thought of that!!

[@juto4825]

What a great idea! Thank you!

[@shelzp7272]

Oh man, I’ve never thought about how those gorgeous gift baskets landed at the liquor store! I can watch these videos all day (not joking 🤷🏻‍♀️) and I have not seen this technique presented so beautifully! Honestly, I’m amazed or as the kids say I’m shook… omg when you said your dad’s wine has aged beautifully or… 😉

[@homemakingdownsouth]

Thank you so much friend!! Oh my dad’s wine is surely turned to vinegar at this point! 🤣

I just recently started making gift baskets for the family. Thanks for all of these wonderful tips! You've inspired me.

[@homemakingdownsouth]

Thank you so much, Lucielle! I'm so glad this video was able to give you some inspiration!

[@sandravermes4219]

Beautiful! I would add a cellophane wrap to hold everything together for the delivery trip. I could see myself tipping it and having to rearrange everything in the car!!

[@homemakingdownsouth]

That's a great idea!

[@staceyandricky7773]

The bottle wrap is 👌👌👌

[@homemakingdownsouth]

Aww! Thank you so much! 🍾

[@mariedamon5655]

[@norarocha2402]

Great ideas. I love your jars of cocoa and how you wrapped them up so pretty. I will make some of these, and some unsweetened type of cocoa and sugar free chocolates for people who are diabetic. But this certainly giving me ideas but change up some items. Your so thoughtful. And who ever is getting these gifts are so lucky and feel loved by you.🥰 The wrapping part is awesome. i always loved receiving gift baskets.💞 Merry Christmas.🎄

New to your channel, I really enjoyed your wrapping gifts, they are so pretty. Thank you for sharing.

[@homemakingdownsouth]

Thank you so much, Shirley! I'm so glad you enjoyed this video and thank you for stopping by my channel! :-)

[@leeyule3677]

NIce basket, but I was told, in basket design classes, never used candles with food which makes sense.

[@homemakingdownsouth]

Thanks for sharing!

[@BrendaBodwin]

I put a blanket, or towels in the bottom of my baskets, as filler. I always grab them in January when they go on clearance for 75% to 90% off. Cheap, but useful filler. I buy pajama sets on clearance, for this as well.

[@homemakingdownsouth]

That’s a great idea, Brenda! Thank you for sharing! ☺️

[@jgloss7549]

Such a fun video! You continue to inspire me to be creative! 🎄

[@homemakingdownsouth]

Thank you sister!

[@Marnotary]

Thank you for sharing, please continue to post more videos, I love the way you explain 😊

[@homemakingdownsouth]

You are so kind! Thank you so much! I plan to post many more!

[@jessicamoore9398]

❤️❤️❤️

[@homemakingdownsouth]

Thank you! 💗

[@widowswatch6610]

I think gift baskets are beautiful but I also feel the price of them can go high.. nice video...... thanks

[@homemakingdownsouth]

Thank you!

[@kimeckhardt]

These are beautiful great ideas!! In the beginning of the video when wrapping the wine, you had a wire roll with a cutter attached to it. So neat where is it from? Soo useful, tried to find something like it in Amazon but not having luck lol

[@homemakingdownsouth]

Hi Kim! Thank you so much for your kind words! So the wire and cutter combo I was using I bought from Hobby Lobby. You can find it in the floral department! I hope you have luck finding it! Merry Christmas!

[@lindapoworski2597]

Hi there, loved the video. What do you wrap the entire basket with? I was waiting til the very end for that. Beautiful job.

[@homemakingdownsouth]

Hi Linda! Thank you so much for your kind words! So you can cover the entire basket with a cellophane bag but be very careful because they rip so easily! You can buy them at hobby lobby or any craft store I’m sure. Also check Amazon! ☺️

[@lunalove2222]

Wonderful Tutorial ❤❄🌲❄❤

[@homemakingdownsouth]

Thank you so much, Luna! ☺️☺️

[@sandyralston5814]

I love the tree gift tags. Did you say where you got them?

[@homemakingdownsouth]

Hi Sandy! I got them from Hobby Lobby! I bet they are 50% off right now! ☺️

[@berenicesansone482]

Do you wrap the whole basket at last with the celofán paper ?

[@homemakingdownsouth]

Hi! So for this basket I didn’t. I tried however the cellophane bag I had was not large enough. If you do choose to use a cellophane bag then make sure it’s large enough and have multiples in case it tears. They are very finicky and tear easily.

[@elizabethmorgan2513]

Where do you buy rolls of tulle? These re beautiful!!!!❤

[@homemakingdownsouth]

Hi Elizabeth! Thank you for your sweet words! I bought the rolls of tulle at Hobby Lobby. I bet they have them out already!

[@haleycourtepatte1675]

Very nice but I would not wrap an empty box.. I'd put something in it. Imagine getting a basket with a nicely wrapped gift inside that turns out empty.... That would suck.

[@homemakingdownsouth]

I placed a gift card in the box ☺️

[@staceykersting705]

What makes u think the cocoa u buy in the store is any 'fresher' than the premade jarred stuff?

[@homemakingdownsouth]

Sometimes the premade jar hot cocoa/marshmallow mixture has been sitting for years.

[@staceykersting705]

I'm thinking the same about most 'dry goods' on store shelves.I use organic cocoa to avoid some of the alkali processing. Eat fresh!@@homemakingdownsouth

[@mariedamon5655]

Bags not dad's haha x

[@annsaeli7583]

Does anyone know if we are allowed to add second hand items to baskets that are for sale? I am thinking of ornamental items but never anything someone uses to eat such as a coffee mug.

[@homemakingdownsouth]

You can add anything you want. 😊

[@annsaeli8115]

Thank you! 🌷

[@user-zh1kh5wd4u]

What size jars are they?

[@homemakingdownsouth]

I believe they are the 8oz jars ☺️

[@donnalindsey611]

Christmas wine 🤔😒☹

[@homemakingdownsouth]

☺️

[@BradfordHomestead]

Why so critical ??? My gosh people are so quick to jump on the judgmental band wagon- put dang cider in your bag- you know?? Sparkling grape juice????? 🙄 🤦‍♀️

[@katskills5560]

You’re trying to stuff to much in, need a bigger container!

[@homemakingdownsouth]

Thanks for the input

[@nallya9018]

Beautiful baskets!

[@homemakingdownsouth]

Thank you, Nally!
