How to create my own?

You can design your own custom gift basket! Choose from over 1,000 items such as candles, lotions, sports, mugs, Ty beanies, gourmet snacks and so much more. Plus, you can add a Willow Tree figurine to your basket! We have over 90 different baskets styles from small to X-Large to choose from.

Step #1 - Choose your products
Shop in ANY category on this website. You have the option to "Buy this item separately" or "Add to gift basket". When creating a gift basket select "Add to gift basket". Only a few items are too large for gift baskets and do not give that option. Food items placed in shopping cart are always used in your custom gift basket.

Every item on this website is given a Size Rating. As you select items, keep track of the Size Rating total so you'll know what size of gift basket you will need.

Size Rating Example:
Willow Tree Angel- Size Rating 5
Ty beanie - Size Rating 2
Gourmet Hot Cocoa- Size Rating 1
Mini Biscotti - Size Rating 1
Candle - Size Rating 2
Cookies - Size Rating 2
Magnet - Size Rating 1
Size Rating total of all items selected = 14
You will need to select a "Large" basket/container rated at least 14.

Step #2 - Choose a basket or container
After selecting all of of the items you like, click on "Baskets & Containers" and select the gift basket of your choice. Each gift basket is also given Size Ratings. The Size Rating is in the title of each item for quick sizing. The size rating for Baskets/containers is the maximum we suggest putting in that basket. You can put less, but more is not recommended.

Here is a guideline for basket/container sizes:

• Size Rating 1-4 = Very Small
• Size Rating 4-8 = Small
• Size Rating 9-12 = Medium
• Size Rating 12-16 = Large
• Size Rating 17-22 = X-Large
• Size Rating 23-26 = 2XL

Helpful Tips & Information
We recommend selecting only one product rated 4 or higher for small, medium or large baskets. One large item fits nicely with many smaller items. If you select 2 items rated 4 or higher, please select an X-Large basket so your items will fit and display properly. Willow Tree & items rated 5 or higher, require a Large or X-Large gift basket. Willow Tree items remain in the protective gift box that they come packaged in and take up a little more space. Size Ratings are based on the space they require to display properly in the gift basket. Size Ratings are a guideline only. You may add an extra item rated 1 or 2 if you feel it will fit (not recommended, but we will make every attempt to accommodate). However, an over-filled gift basket will delay your order while we contact you. Please choose an appropriate size gift basket for your items.

All gift baskets come with decorative shred, a personalized enclosure card and a decorative bow. You will be given an opportunity at checkout to write a personal greeting. Enclosure cards are placed in an envelope and inserted into a small, flat, color-coordinated organza bag with an individually wrapped mint candy. The organza bag is then tied to the top of the gift basket where it gathers by the bow. Each gift basket is shrink wrapped and appropriately packaged for shipping. You may choose your own color of decorative shred by clicking "shred colors" or we can select that for you. If you're in a hurry, you can always select one of our pre-designed gift baskets.

Most custom gift baskets ship the next business day. If we have any problem with your order you will receive an email within 1 business day. Please provide a valid email during checkout.
