Create A Gift Basket For A Fitness Buff

Create a Gift Basket for a Fitness Buff


Your friend has turned into a fitness buff and you want to offer your encouragement for continued success. Create a gift basket by packing it with items that will turn exercise into an enjoyable hobby.


Instructions


Choosing the Gifts and Basket


1. Select from the following: super-soft hand and body towels for the gym; pedometer for power walking; sports watch; sweatbands; VCR fitness tapes for bad weather days; tape player; tapes of favorite music; small bottles of water; water bottle holder; fanny pack; fitness books; fitness magazines; a 6-pack of sweat socks; and herbal teas for relaxing afterwards.


2. Pick a basket style that your friend can use to store fitness gear. Your choices include those with one handle, with two side handles, or without handles. Make certain the basket is large enough to hold the gifts you have selected.


3. Decide on the color of the basket by choosing one that complements your friend's home decor. If in doubt, choose a neutral color by selecting a natural wicker basket.


4. Use shredded paper filling to make the gifts fit snugly in the basket.


5. Buy a humorous greeting card.


Packing the Basket


6. Wrap each present with a colorful gift wrap.


7. Put a layer of shredded paper filling on the bottom of the basket.


8. Place the wrapped gifts vertically or horizontally in the basket, as space allows, pushing the filling between gifts to ensure a very snug fit.


9. Place the basket in the center of a large piece of clear or tinted cellophane gift wrap. You may need two pieces of the wrap to completely cover a large basket.


10. Bring all sides of the wrap to a few inches above the top of the basket. Secure the wrap by tying it with a long, colorful ribbon.


11. Tape your greeting card onto the wrap.
