Well, it’s only 5 days until Christmas! Have you got all your gifts bought? No? Need some inspiration? I hear you. I give you (drumroll please) the romantic date night at home gift basket!
Gift baskets are one of my favorite things to put together and give! See example here.
Gift baskets are wonderful because you can adjust their contents depending on your price range, plus they are just adorable in general and so fun to put together.
This year for Christmas I decided to make this gift basket for Alex’s parents. I wanted the theme to be “romantic date night at home” which was inspired by a floating waterproof Bluetooth speaker that I found for them that I thought would be perfect for their hottub. (Now obviously I know that not every has a hottub, but that is why gift baskets are so great! You can personalize them for whoever you’re giving them to!)
Anywho, here’s what I put in their basket. I just picked things that I thought they would enjoy using on a night at home with eachother. You could definitely adjust these items to fit the personality of who you’re gifting it to, but for the most part I think all of these things are pretty well liked universally so it makes a great gift no matter how well you know the couple. (Side note: this is also a great way to gift a couple instead of each person individually! Two for one! Yay!)
- Waterproof floating Bluetooth speaker (for hot tub!)
- A candle (for ambience)
- Bottle of wine (duh)
- Matching slippers (to wear to hot tub!)
- Ingredients for a romantic Italian dinner: pasta, pasta sauce, garlic cloves, garlic flavored olive oil, garlic powder grinder (I like garlic okay!?!)
- A movie (for snuggle time)
- Dessert: I chose different varieties of chocolate truffles and pirouette cookies
A Christmas basket and Christmas sign (for holiday cheer!)
I hope this gives you some inspiration! Here are some other ideas of items you could put in your date night gift basket:
- A blanket
- Matching robes or pajamas
- Chocolate covered strawberries
- Champagne
- Fresh flowers
- An album, iTunes gift card, or CD for some romantic tunes
- Lotion or massage oil
Have fun putting together your gift basket!
