You can also offer a trial gym membership. Many gyms will often throw in a voucher for a personal training session with new memberships.

The Hair Care Basket
Save bidders a trip to the salon by including top-rated hair dryers and curling irons. Don’t forget the professional shampoo and conditioner.

The Makeover Basket
Since makeup is a pretty personal thing, you should steer away from including specific products. Instead, you could consider makeup brushes, mirrors, a gift card to a local cosmetics store (or your favorite Mary Kay Rep!), or a one-on-one session with a highly-rated makeup artist. However, you could add some skin care products to the makeover basket because who doesn’t love a good cleanser or a refreshing face mask?

A basket of wine and cheese
This classic gift basket will always be a hit. Fill a basket with wines, cheeses, crackers, and fruit. You can also add other accompaniments, such as a cheese knife or a wine opener.

A welcome gift for coffee lovers. Fill a basket with eclectic coffees and teas, along with coffee mugs or teacups. In addition, you can add other accessories, such as a coffee grinder or a tea infuser.

A basket of plants, seeds, or dried flowers
Or all three! It’s a gift for anyone who loves to garden or decorate their home with plants. First, fill a basket with various plants, such as succulents, cacti, or a grow herbs-at-home kit. Then, add gardening tools, such as a trowel or a watering can, a knee cushion, suitable gloves, a wide-brimmed hat, and a small Bluetooth speaker to listen to their favorite tunes while gardening.

A basket of books
Book lovers or voracious readers will appreciate a basket with the kind of books they wouldn’t buy but would like to read sometime— like Moby Dick, War and Peace, 1984, Brave New World, or Jane Eyre. Biographies are a good idea, too. Readers like what they like, so filling a basket with the top ten sellers wouldn’t be advisable. They’d rather have a membership to Audible so they can choose their books, but putting the “classics” in the gift basket will ensure it’s well-received by the recipient, Add a few different types of small-ish reading lights, a few bookmarks, and any fun reading-related gadget that’s available. Give them a pack of bookplates—adhesive tags on which they can write their name and put them inside
their books.
