Will You Be My Valentine?

I could shop for days straight without eating... Calm down, I never said without DRINKING wine! Geez! 

When asked to shop for a client for Valentine's Day, I was over the moon! Theme baskets are my specialty. I love nothing more than putting together different elements and finishing it up with a common idea. Let the games begin!

 

The loot. Time to tie it all together!

I like to shop at discount stores for fabulous close-out deals when it comes to accessorizing the baskets. They serve as "fillers" for the empty basket space and look pretty darn cute too! 

Some super fun basket accessories will make this gift come to life!

Mixing and matching wrapping papers and ribbons also helps add depth to any basket. Bigger is always almost better! 

I stuffed an empty shirt box on the bottom of this cloth lined metal basket to add height. Throw on some colored tissue and you will never see it! Giving extra height will help show off all the fun goodies that will be loaded into this beauty.

Let's start wrapping. You know me, the more prints the better.

When filling the basket, I like to start with the tallest items towards the back. Then I start layering all the other items inside. If something starts to sink, add more tissue underneath to prop it up! Still sinking? Grab some pieces of foam from your local craft store. Cover with tissue paper. 

 

Fun and flirty basket fit for a lovely young lady!
