Hence, when it comes to making Eid Gift Baskets, here are a few tips to make them easily.
1. Choose a Proper Basket- The gift basket should be chosen very intelligently because it has to carry all the stuff so it should be good enough to bear the load. Cane or wicker baskets are easily available in the market or if you want to save money, you can find any type of box in your home as well. Also check if the size of the basket is feasible to carry the products in it.
2. Thematic Items- The theme is already known so it won’t be difficult to find products relevant to Eid. However, it can depend on whom you wish to send gifts to Pakistan.

You can easily make a combination of 3-4 products which will be good enough to fill up your basket.
3. Arranging the Basket- Once the items are selected, you should now arrange the basket to be filled. You should layer the basket with fillers like shredded paper, crumbled papers, or tissues, shredded cellophane etc. However, if you want to give it a fun look you can take colorful papers and shred them to fill the basket. It will be a part of your decoration.
4. Assort the Products- Product assortment is important because it will make your basket look enticing. Hence, you should carefully arrange the products so every item is distinctly visible and is coordinating with the appearance. The products should be fixed in the layers of the basket so they do not get distorted during transportation as it will leave bad impression when the recipient opens the gift basket.
5. Wrap the Basket- If you do not want to do too much extra you should simply wrap the basket with some colored transparent wrapping paper, tie it with a contrasting ribbon or simply punch it. Also, you can spray paint your cane or wicker basket in case you want to make it look more colorful. You can use golden or silver paint whichever goes with your theme. Also attach a greeting card on the front with your heartiest wishes.
