Brrr Basket Ideas
While I think gift giving is so much fun all year round, the holidays are the best time to embrace the gift giving spirit! It’s the perfect time to show your loved ones how much they mean to you by giving them something thoughtful. Gifts don’t have to be expensive and they can even be DIY! I think that the best way to give a thoughtful gift is in basket form because curating a small group of items that all reflect the recipient shows how well you know them. Putting a gift basket together is much easier than you’d think and I’m going to show you exactly how to do it!

What is a Brrr Basket
A Brrr basket is a wintery tradition that consists of surprising your friend with a festive themed gift basket! It doesn’t have to be Christmassy or Holiday themed if that doesn’t suite the recipient. Even using a wintery and snowy theme suites the “Brrr Basket” tone! No matter how many things are included in your gift basket, it will always make your loved one feel special to receive a gift unprompted.

Brrr Basket Ideas
I made this Christmas gift basket for my mom because she’s the ultimate homebody! So I put together a bunch of cute and cozy finds for her.
I made these little gift baskets for my girlfriends last year and they were so fun to put together. A lot of these items came in multiples, which made this process even better!

I made this gift basket for my sister who travels a lot! So I figured some helpful gadgets and finds would be most suitable for her.
