DIY Adult Gift Baskets for $25 & under

Spring is here, and some of us are going to celebrate Easter with our families next week! We all have done the Easter egg hunts in the backyard or around the house, maybe brunch with your family, or just opening up those Easter baskets like every other year. Well, just because your older doesn't mean we can't create fun and personalized baskets for our friends, family or significant other! These baskets can be inexpensive, fun, and easy, forget all the chocolate bunnies and plastic eggs, lets give them what they'll really want.


Beer Drinker- Some grocery stores will let you pick whichever beers you'd like to create your own unique 6 pack or just grab their favorite beer! Add frosted beer mugs, salty snacks or  a bottle opener to finish up this basket.

Wine Lover- Grab a bottle of  their favorite wine or grab a few miniature bottles for a small wine tasting! Add two wine glasses, and a wine opener, and your good to go! Who can say no to wine?!

Coffee Obsessed- Grab a bag of their favorite coffee (dunkin donuts, Starbucks, etc), add a coffee mug, flavored creamer and maybe some sugar cubes! Coffee lovers will be happy with this energy filled basket.

Hair Stylist- Who wouldn't want new hair accessories or products for an easter gift? Travel size shampoo, conditioner, hairspray or gel is perfect to throw in their purse. Even add some hair ties, headbands or a wet brush to finish it up. You can even add dry shampoo, hair perfume mist or a even a magazine! All of the above any hair enthusiast would obsess over!

Beauty Boss- For all the make up lovers, grab some travel size or popular beauty products to throw in their basket! Chapstick, blush, makeup primer, mascara, etc. Even include a face mask, makeup wipes or lashes to complete the basket to fill it up!

Sweets & Treats- Candy, cookies, or macaroons are great ideas for that sweet tooth who expects a basket full of treats for Easter! Don't just put chocolate bunnies or peeps in this basket, try mini muffins, or even gummy bears!

Car Fanatic- I'm sure you know  someone who is obsessed with their car, create a basket to help them keep their car fresh and clean! Car wipes, sponges, air fresheners and a gift card for a car wash will make any car fanatic smile. Instead of using a basket you can even use a mop bucket to store all their car cleaning goodies!

Money Honey- Who doesn't love getting cash?! Create a whole basket with plastic eggs filled with bills and dollar coins or instead of grass put dollar bills to cover the bottom of the basket. Add some lottery tickets and chocolate to this basket to top it off!

Beach Babe- Grab sandals, a colorful towel, sunglasses and sunscreen for your bronzed babe to enjoy on their next vacation or beach day! Use a pail or plastic tote instead of a basket to stick with the beach theme if desired!
