 There
are many reasons to give gift
baskets for spring. As always, there are birthdays,
wedding showers, and baby showers. But there are also two other
very basket-oriented holidays that present great reasons to think
of gift baskets for spring.
Do you know which two holidays I am referring to? Easter and May
Day. Easter is the ultimate gift-basket holiday in the United States,
and the Easter bunny is the major producer and giver of these baskets!
Of course, May Day is also an excellent reason to come up with
great ideas for gift baskets for spring. May Day is not widely celebrated
in the Americas, but that does not mean that you cannot celebrate
it yourself.
How do you celebrate May Day? Celebrate by giving a May Day basket.
Generally, May Day baskets are rather small and filled with treats.
Of course, one of the best traditions associated with May Day baskets
is not the baskets themselves, but what you do with them. You leave
them on the doorstep of a friend or neighbor or crush, etc. Then
you ring the bell and run away. As the tradition goes, if the recipient
catches you, then he or she gets to kiss you!
Here are some great ideas for gift baskets for spring, including
ideas for Easter baskets and May Day baskets:
- Spring flowers. Springtime is a time marked by the greening
of the earth. After a long and cold winter, there are few things
more beautiful than the appearance of budding trees and flowers
popping up through dead grass and branches. Therefore, if you
are wanting a great gift basket for spring, consider giving one
that is filled with flowers.
- Gardening basket. This type of gift basket for spring falls
right in line with the abovementioned one. Instead of giving cut
flowers, give flowers to be planted, seeds, and/or bulbs. Also
include the tools to cultivate these plants… hand garden
tools, gardening gloves, etc.
- Fruit basket. Give a seasonal fruit basket. There are many
excellent and fresh fruits that are available during the springtime,
and few things are more refreshing than a piece of fresh fruit!
- Book gift basket. Include children's books about spring
and also grown-up books. Give a blanket, too. When springtime
comes and the sun is shining, it is a great time to go read in
the park.
- Picnic gift basket. There is not time like springtime to pack
up a lunch or dinner and head to the mountains, beach, or park.
Give a picnic basket complete with utensils, snacks, a bottle
of wine (and a bottle opener), etc.
- Fun in the sun gift basket. For these types of gift baskets
for spring, include sun block, tanning oil, sunglasses, a sun
