    Gift Basket Ideas For Wedding Showers: Reader Question

    A reader, Melissa, sent in this question:

    I would appreciate advice on this… my boyfriend and I have a TON of wedding showers to go to this summer, and I would like to put together a gift basket of items for the happy couples.

    what do you think would be the best items to put in them without coming off as cheap? And of course, I’d like to use coupons to get the items.

    Do you have any ideas for Melissa?

    Have a question you’d like to ask the readers of MrsJanuary.com? Send an email.

      I love making baskets for people. I wouldnt really go near the cleaning stuff but Getting recipes (even if the person doesnt like baking- easy ‘no’ bake recipes are great) And then you can throw in a few of the baking supplies like cocoa etc. The dollarstore and places like giant tiger and lens mill store have great little baking tools. You can throw in a couple unique items and then spend most of your money on one big item like a nice mixing bowl set, they always go on sale for like 10 dollars at canadian tire. That is how I get a great basket for under 30 dollars. I have sooo many showers/weddings this year too!

      I know the showers are for the girl but don’t forget the groom to be we did I tool box with a bow with a few tools! The ladies got a great laugh and he didn’t feel left out when he saw it.

      A cleaning basket or a food basket is always great! I personally adore gift baskets. My SIL gave me for Xmas a basket, two muffin tins, a jar of home made muffin mix, two tins of pumpkin for the muffins, a bottle of vanilla extract and paper muffin cups. It was great! :) Be creative and centre the basket around a theme for a cohesive look.

      To go along with the bathroom theme, Bath & Body Works is having a 50% off sale on June 13th. They have some really nice stuff.

      I recently saw this and thought it might make a great gift…
