Because of its organic, natural look, its elegant textures and its versatility, wicker is the perfect material for giving present. For present containers, there's a gigantic range of basketwork pieces available, in a huge spread of sizes, styles and colors.
One of the conventional uses of wicker is for baskets used to move and store the results of the harvest. It's easy to conjure up the pictures of fruit-pickers with baskets overflowing with ripe grapes, rosy apples and other natural produce. Or the cornucopia basket, a horn formed design which symbolizes an overflowing of great quantity when filled with food. It proclaims rustic profusion and lots.
Wicker baskets are still the best way to present fruit and other natural products, including flowers. Lay on a bit of pretty cotton material then add some cellophane and ribbons, and you have a special gift in minutes. Rather than fruit, chocolates and candies may also be presented beautifully in a basket.
Another conventional use for wicker also involves food. Wicker is the ancient material for traditional picnic baskets. The picnic hamper always helps to conjure up recollections of a lazy al fresco dining, on a happily bright day in a beautiful location. Connoisseur gift baskets take their cue from this nostalgia and our abiding love of fine food selections.
A basket that provides everything you need for a special meal on a day out is an ideal and enticing present. A selection of cold shop treats, with luxury tasty biscuits and a selection of finger foods, is always difficult to resist. Add a good bottle of wine, or perhaps champagne, and you have got more than a present. You have a special occasion in a basket.
Though edible goodies go especially well in hampers, the probabilities are far wider. A selection of toiletries in a basket makes a superb present, and the wicker detail will look nice in the bathroom too.
Wicker basket planters are another choice option. If you would like to say it with flowers, or any plant in a pot, then a basket container is the very best way to present it. Natural wicker goes beautifully with flowers, or if you desire you could find painted and stained baskets in a array of colours to match your decor.
Baskets for present have the edge over simple wrapping paper that customarily goes directly into the rubbish. Wicker gift boxes help with storage. Or, once the contents of the basket have been employed or eaten, you can reuse it for storing and organizing a whole host of home items. It's like giving 2 present in one.
The natural sweetness of wicker makes it very simple for anyone to put together an attention-grabbing show basket to offset your gift. The range of designs is wide, and there's a shape, style and color of basket to make any gift look special.
