Create Gift Baskets for Husbands and Wives
Creative Christmas Gift Ideas for Newlyweds & Married Couples
Oct 12, 2009
When looking for creative Christmas gift ideas for newlyweds and married couples to enjoy together, consider creating gift baskets using small appliances like waffle makers, quesadilla makers, fondue pots and popcorn poppers.
Buy Small Appliances on Sale
To create a gift basket centered around a small appliance, begin by watching the sales and checking online shopping sites. Many appliances that regularly sell for $39.99 can go on sale for $19.99 after Thanksgiving. Some stores like Macy’s offer doorbusters or 2-day sales, while online stores like Amazon.com may offer free shipping on holiday purchases.
One way to decide which appliance to purchase is to ask the couple questions that gather information. For example, a mother might share memories of cooking breakfast with her children and ask the couple if they ever use a waffle maker. Another approach is to ask the couple questions as if they have experience with the item or an opinion. For example, “I’ve always heard popcorn makers are healthier than microwave popcorn, but I’m not sure I would use it a lot. What do you think?” A little spying can go a long way toward selecting the gift.
Make Unique Gift Baskets
It’s not uncommon for a small appliance to sit in the box because the couple doesn’t have the ingredients or the accessories to use it. To eliminate this problem, create a gift basket to go with the gift. For example, a mixing bowl and silicone spatula are nice additions for a non-stick waffle maker or quesadilla maker. A set of his and her bowls are fun additions to a popcorn maker and fondue forks can go with fondue maker gift baskets. A set of holiday or solid color tea towels that matches the kitchen décor can add to a gift without a lot of expense.
Creative Christmas Gift Ideas
The best Christmas gift ideas are unusual but practical. Including food gifts with the small appliance and accessories adds practicality. For a waffle maker gift, add deluxe waffle mix and gourmet maple syrup. Gourmet salsa and organic corn tortillas can accompany a quesadilla maker. Choose white, yellow and seasoned corn and flavored oils for a popcorn maker gift. Package all the items in a gift basket with a few recipe cards.
Making unique gift baskets as Christmas gifts is easy when starting with a small appliance. Add kitchen tools, hand towels and food gifts to create a practical and thoughtful gift that a husband and wife can enjoy together.
