Arrangement is an important way to create excitement with the tallest items in the center of the basket. Smaller items to the front and sides. If products look attractive in their original covering then that’s fine. Wrapping some gifts can add to the suspense and make others better looking.
It’s good to start with a bed of raffia or some similar material. Darker colors usually work best for this.

Usually baskets are wrapped in a clear protective film. This helps keep the display from shifting and aids in keeping food products fresh. Now is the time to add decorations that will make your gift special. The clear plastic wrap can be tied off with multiple color strands of curly ribbon. For an added touch a fancy bow will do nicely or perhaps small stickers artfully arranged. And don’t overlook that gift card - an appropriate way to express your personal sentiments and have some artistic fun. Happy wrapping.
