Trying to find a personalized gift for your loved ones on Valentine’s Day can be difficult when everything is copy and paste red hearts and corny love puns. Well, with the newfound popularity of the Bae Basket, gifting can be a bit more meaningful.
The Bae Basket rose to fame on TikTok to showcase personalized gift baskets for partners to exchange during different seasons: Brr Basket for winter, Bunny Basket for spring, Beach Basket for summer etc. These gifts can include a myriad of items from that person’s favorite candy or scent to a seasonal item, like in this case, a Valentine’s Day chocolate box or stuffed animal. Here are a few tips to help with crafting a bae basket this season.
When making a gift basket, it is best to have a balance between cute kitschy items and trendy giftable items. Within the cute kitschy item category are things such as personalized key chains or maybe a t shirt with that person’s favorite music artist on it. These gifts create a sense of sentimentality that makes a well-rounded basket. The trendy giftable item category is where you can show that you have been listening to this person’s wants. For example, if they have expressed interest in a new skincare or makeup product that caught their eye or a trending snack that they have been dying to try, this is the time to throw it in the basket and make them feel heard.
If you’re having a hard time finding where to start when making a bae basket, Pinterest is the perfect destination to gather inspiration. There are plenty of pictures of previously made baskets and links to items that can be personalized. If you need help looking for those trendy giftable items, looking at that person’s Pinterest profile and seeing the things that they have saved can help with that. Even if you know the general idea of what your Valentine likes but can’t decide on what to pick out for them, Pinterest can help narrow it down.
Lastly, understanding a general assortment of items that should be included in the basket is good to know. Along with a kitschy item and an item that has been on their wish list, throwing in things like their favorite drink and a fun pair of socks really rounds out the basket. Creating a list of favorite items is also a helpful tip when figuring out what exactly you would like to include.
Valentine’s Day can be a difficult time to get a meaningful gift for someone. As that special day rolls around the corner, consider a bae basket to make your significant other’s day extra special.
