Top 10 Reasons It's Better to DIY Baskets for ANY Occasion

1- You're gifting people stuff they actually LIKE. There's no gambling, no fear of food allergies, no awkwardness about getting something yucky and no disappointed children. Just the good stuff.

2- Most of it actually stuff you can eat (or use if you're including toys or non-edible goodies). Nobody likes getting a gift full of tissue paper, packing peanuts or straw. Not to mention it's a total waste.

3- Which brings me to my next point: they're more eco-friendly. If the basket consists of stuff you're actually using, nothing gets thrown away. In fact, the container itself can be made of something reusable like plastic or metal (it's what I do) or if it is paper, simply recycle it.

4- It's inexpensive. A bought pre-made basket can cost up to $100 and have all the flaws listed above. Meanwhile, if you DIY yours, it will probably cost you less than half that especially if you are putting in homemade cookies, cake or fun sized chocolates which people love better than fancy stuff anyway.

5- You're less likely to give away something broken. It is very embarrassing to give someone a gift basket and for it to be broken. When it comes DIY, you have control of how you package it, so you're more sure that everything is going to be intact.

6- It is more personal. A gift with thought behind it will put a bigger smile on someone's face than something generic. Sure, surprises are nice, but taking time to remember your friend's favourite treat is even better.

7- It is fun and a great way to bond. At least in my family, my son and I have fun putting together gift baskets and choosing what to give each family.

8- You don't need to go to fifty different places just to find a basket. When you make one yourself, you have at most two places to go to. Maybe three if you're also filling it with toys, crayons, soaps, etc.

9- You're not limited to what the contents can be. Not everyone likes chocolate or candy for that matter. I have a relative who doesn't, so I fill his basket with a variety pack of Doritos, pretzels and crackers. Heck, you can do variety pack of mustards, tea, coffee, alcohol bath soaps (my grandmother liked those because she wasn't a snacker) or other. There's no law stating it has to be sweets.

10- Deep down... NOBODY likes fancy chocolate. Sure the boxes are pretty and the chocolates look pretty, but how many of them are flavors we actually like? And if I had the choice between that or a Dairy Milk bar, I would choose option B. Even for Valentine's Day. If I want decoration, I'll get a lamp or a new frame for a picture.

Me and Packages: Christmas Basket

Gift baskets are a must during the holidays. It’s a favorite thing companies and politicians give. It not only brings a big smile to the recipient but it also shows just how rich the giver is. The size and contents of the basket will give you a clue as yo how much. Take this basket, for example. This was given to my mom last Christmas by a client of hers. It’s not quite big but I was surprised…

Aomine, Momoi, Kise and Midorima absolutely love Christmas. Aomine regresses to age five, becoming an overjoyed child, though he tries his best to hide it for fear of being judged. Kise and Momoi love giving gifts (and receiving them) to people they care about and choose them with almost obsessive care to ensure everyone gets the perfect gift. They often go shopping together. Midorima loves Christmas not for himself, but because he enjoys seeing how happy and excited his little sister becomes.

Kuroko likes Christmas, but it's not his favorite holiday - he greatly prefers Halloween. He always gives books as gifts and has lots of fun matching the perfect book to each person. He even manages to get Kise, Aomine and Kagami to read one book a year.

Murasakibara isn't too interested in the holiday itself, but rather in Christmas dinner. He likes receiving gifts but finds giving them too demanding, so he usually gives everyone candy supplies.

Akashi doesn't like Christmas. He used to like it when he was little and Shiori was still alive, but now it's just another obligation he'd gladly do without. Nevertheless, he tends to hide this and pretends to find the holiday pleasant.

In the spirit of Christmas

You're a mean one, Mr. Trump You really are a heel You're as cuddly as a cactus, you're as charming as an eel, Mr. Trump You're a bad banana with a greasy black peel

You're a monster, Mr. Musk Your heart's an empty hole Your brain is full of spiders, you've got garlic in your soul, Mr. Musk I wouldn't touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half-foot pole

You're a vile one, Jr. RFK You have termites in your smile You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile, Jr. RFK Given a choice between the two of you I'd take the seasick crocodile

You're a foul one, Mrs. Green You're a nasty-wasty skunk Your heart is full of unwashed socks, your soul is full of gunk, Mrs. Green The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote, "Stink, stank, stunk"

You're a rotter, Mr. Gaetz You're the king of sinful sots Your heart's a dead tomato splotched with moldy purple spots, Mr. Gaetz Your soul is an appalling dump heap overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment of deplorable rubbish imaginable Mangled up in tangled up knots

You nauseate me, Mr. Trump With a nauseous super "naus" You're a crooked jerky jockey and you drive a crooked hoss, Mr. Trump You're a three-decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich With arsenic sauce
