Many prefer spring to other seasons and after winter has ended it feels like a new start. Everything is fresh and new and the outdoors becomes alive with new life. Birds are singing and flowers are blooming again. The grass is green and the sunshine is plentiful. More people start to enjoy the outdoors again. Easter is the most anticipated holiday of Spring but there are many other events during this time like birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and new births. There are some season-themed items that you can give during this time that are available and just right for giving.
A spring gift basket that is full of the season’s best assorted goodies that include cookies, snack mix, chocolate, candy, candles, teas and coffee mugs make gift giving simple. There are also tea gift baskets for tea lovers that include gourmet tea packs, a mug, honey, cookies and chocolate. Picnic baskets are great gift items for this season because many people enjoy picnicking in the park. Ready made picnic baskets are popular that come packed with delicious snacks and food. If you prefer to create your own, you can choose from gourmet food like aged cheese, breadsticks, smoked salmon, summer sausage and wine.
Another great idea for the outdoorsman is a backpack that is custom-made which is perfect for hikers. Camping and hiking are some favorite activities to do during Spring. The backpack should include necessities and should also be lightweight. Small items like a flashlight, first aid kit and a container for water should be in the pack and maybe some healthy food or snacks. Baseball fans will adore snack packs that include items like popcorn, chips, pretzels and various nuts. A baseball-shaped tray or basket is the ideal package for this type of gift. They are inexpensive and easy to find.
People love to garden and plant at this time of year and a garden-themed basket or gifts are clearly appreciated by garden lovers. For many who are beginning to garden, a gift basket full of garden needs is a good idea. Many specialty stores sell these baskets and with accessories. They include seeds, gloves, garden tools, knee pads, hats and gardening books. It is also fun and easy to create your own basket and the materials can be found at any craft store or specialty outlet. You can make a list of the needed items, choose a basket, neatly organize the basket and then wrap with clear plastic. A really nice touch is a ribbon or a bow and a gift tag.
