[header] How to make gift baskets [title] Decide on a theme. [step] Nearly all gift baskets have some type of theme, and choosing a theme makes it easier to plan the contents of the basket. Choose the theme of your gift basket before you do anything else. 
[substeps] Sometimes, the theme is based on an occasion or set of circumstances. For example, you might plan a christmas-themed basket around the holidays, a " get well soon " basket for someone who's ill, or a house-warming basket for couple who recently purchased their first home.
