Welcome to Day 57 of the 100 Days of Homemade Holiday Inspiration! Each day we will be inspiring you with recipes, decorating ideas, crafts, homemade gift ideas and much more!
In July, my son married the love of his life and I gained a wonderful daughter. Since it’s their first Christmas as a married couple, I put together a memorable gift basket for them.
Most of the items in the basket came from Hobby Lobby, and then the personalized ornaments are from Etsy.
The one with Mickey and Minnie Mouse symbolizes their honeymoon trip, then there is one that has their name.
They also bought their first home, so there is an ornament for that.
Here are some suggestions of what to add to your gift basket –
Gift Basket for Newlyweds
- Basket – any size will work, I have found that a basket without a handle works best for gift baskets. This basket that can be kept out year round, filled with fruit or special items that have memories.
- Napkin – to add a little bit of color, add a napkin before adding the items. You could also add a whole set of napkins for the couple to use.
- Taller items – those go in the back. Bottle brush trees, a piece of greenery and a sign were added
- Santa mug – add a handful of candy canes and rock candy for a whimsical touch
- Garland for the tree or to decorate a shelf
- Small decorations – like the white trees and deer that they can use to decorate around their home
- Ornaments – besides the personalized ornaments, several other ornaments were added including the “L” initial from Hobby Lobby
To personalize the basket, the bear ornament represents the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee where they were married.
Spence Cabin in Gatlinburg was a gorgeous space to be married. There are more photos on Instagram from the special day.
