Looking for a unique gift idea to give this Christmas? Here are 20 best Christmas gift baskets everyone will love!
The season of giving is just around the corner, which by consequence means that the season of buying Christmas gifts is around the corner, too.
There are heartfelt ways to spread joy during the holiday season that are inexpensive and easy, and one of them is gifting a Christmas basket!
The great thing about Christmas gift baskets is that you can go about them in one of two ways:
scavenge for fun, small gifts to fill the basket up yourself, or buy an entire basket, pre-stuffed with awesome items.
Below are my favorite ideas for these little bundles of Christmas joy, guaranteed to make someone in your life smile this holiday season.

The look you’re trying to go for here is essentially a Christmas explosion.
You cannot go wrong with stuffing this basket with pine scented candles, fancy chocolates, decorative Christmas towels.

I love the idea of gifting a rattan basket because they are super stylish and match almost any decor style.
So you have a good chance that the receiver will actually put your gift to good use at the center of their table.
Decorative towels, incense, a small pine tree, and trendy, modern decorations would be great to include in this rattan basket.
3. Hershey’s Chocolate Pack

You can’t go wrong with chocolate!
Hershey’s has a wide range of flavors, shapes, and sizes of chocolates to choose from, especially during the holidays (my favorite: chocolate Christmas trees).
Load up on the dark, white, caramel, and peanut-filled chocolates and stuff inside a basket.
If you don’t have a basket, you can DIY one by wrapping a shoebox in Christmas wrapping paper.
4. Santa’s Suit Themed Box

This one is so cute!
For the crafty ones, you could attempt to make a Santa suit basket by taking a trip to Michaels and picking up material for the belt and white fuzz.
You can also get these from Amazon.
You will also need to either find a red basket or put your painting pants on!
For whatever goes inside, consider it a free for all!
As you can see, fuzzy blankets, coloring books, and Christmas-themed water bottles all work.
5. Movie Inspired Basket

Do you have someone in your life that is obsessed with movies?
If there is a person who comes to mind, preparing a basket that relates to their favorite film is a thoughtful gift.
Whether they are a huge Groot fan, or a Lilo & Stitch lover like my best friend, gifts that fit this theme are fun to scavenge for.
And they also carry a little more meaning because they show how much you care.

6. Morning Mimosas Bag
Food makes the best Christmas gift baskets!
Have a very bubbly Christmas!
Grab a mini bottle of champagne and quart of orange juice and you’re almost there.
Mimosas on Christmas become almost mandatory as we age, so skip the day-of trek to the liquor store and prepare now with the Christmas Morning Mimosa Bag.
7. Tumbler with Small Goodies

BUY ON LOWES
Stanley Cups or off-brand versions of the popular tumbler are everywhere these days.
They are are the Mecca of water bottles because they carry sooo much water, but also have a narrow base so they can fit in a cupholder!
Because of their size, they can fit gift cards, various candies, lipsticks and other small items.
So, using a Stanley Cup as your Christmas gift basket is such a smart idea!
8. Sweet Dreams «Cup of Sunshine» For Tea Lovers
BUY ON ETSY
If you don’t have time to pick out a bunch of items and a vehicle to stuff them into, just buy a box online that comes pre-stuffed with fun items.
This one from Etsy has everything you need to start the day in a good way.
The Sweet Dream box is beautiful and unique, including snowman fuzzy socks, a Christmas themed mug, dried orange garnishes and herbal teas.
9. Honey Related Goodies
BUY ON ETSY
Give your honey some honey this holiday season!
Not only is this basket aesthetically pleasing, but good for you, too!
Honey is chock full of health benefits: it is rich in antioxidants, improves heart health, and improves blood sugar regulation, to name a few.
This basket includes honey (duh), a beeswax candle, homemade soap, honey candies and lip balm!
Honey themed Christmas gift baskets may be one of the most creative ideas I’ve ever heard of.
10. Natural Products
So many products these days are riddled with harmful chemicals.
That’s why buying an all-natural basket is perfect for the health-oriented people out there!
You can actually see the natural pine needles and other plants and herbs melted into the candle and soap. Very neat!

What is Christmas without fuzzy socks and a classic, plaid pajama set? Right?

Just looking at this basket makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
In order to accomplish the “warm hug” feeling, you will definitely need a super soft blanket…

This is perfect to warm up those in snowy, cold places!

17. Tin Can With Self Care Essentials

These tin cans can be found for super cheap at the Dollar Tree or other inexpensive convenience store.
If you’re getting gifts for a group of people, filling these small tin cans with little, inexpensive gifts is a good idea.
While you’re at the store, find mini hand sanitizers, chapsticks, nail polish, or gift cards to enclose inside.
The best part is, you don’t have to wrap anything!
18. Home Slippers Filled With Small Gifts

Slippers are the best, and if you’re lounging during the holidays, necessary.

It makes the gift just *that* much better.
