Hi All,
What do you find is the most attractive way to package the holiday gift baskets you sell? Do you use regular baskets? Sheer fabric gift bags? What price seems to sell the best? Any ideas about this and what sells best in gift sets would be greatly appreciated!!! http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley32.gif

I'm interested in this as well...I have to say I don't do well with baskets but that is because I am all thumbs when I have to put them together. I don't think I do a professional job. I personally like gift bags they are easier for me to put together but that doesn't mean that is the best idea.

well everyone has different tastes when it comes to these things... my only suggestion is to use things that you can find inexpensively and use your imagination...just keep it simple too, you do not want the packaging to overshadow our fabulous products...some ideas
-Sugar cookie SOH in a clear cello bag(dollar store or walmart in the party aisle, very cheap) with some shred or tissue paper, tie a ribbon and attach a small cute cookie cutter
-coffee cup with a hand cream tied with some clear cello also with shred or tissue paper in the mug and a gift tag that reads coffee and cxream
-SC SOH with a hand cream and a tag that says cookies and cream
most of these ideas are for smaller sets...baskets or bowls with handles, etc would work great for bigger sets...find some clear cello on a roll and just some shred and ribbon in varying colors...HTH

I have also been trying to decide how to packagegifts. I agree with you Belinda. I dislike wrapping gifts as much as cleaning toilets....smileys/smiley2.gif
What I have donein the past is I purchased clear gift bags, tied it up with copper ribbon and attached a hershey's kisses along with my business card.
I read in another post one consultant was going toput a pair of spa socks with a foot creme. Or hand creme in a coffee mug.
I have madea few organza bags with SOH and ERHT, but it still doesn't look nice enough for my liking, any suggestions on what else toput in the bag.

I should mention I did purchase the Lavender Train Cases on sale now. They look really classy - dark lavender with silver trim -to use with gift sets and they are only $4.
