Most engaged couples register for gifts that will be useful in their new home. While these gifts are all appreciated, many married couples won't get to enjoy them immediately. A honeymoon gift basket is a fun and creative alternative to the traditional gifts of place settings and linens. The gift basket can be enjoyed immediately and may make the honeymoon more enjoyable. The couple may not have requested a honeymoon gift basket, but they will appreciate all the goodies that they get to take along on their trip or enjoy before leaving.
Make Your Own Basket
For a truly personal touch, you can create a personalized basket for the newly wedded couple. If you know that they are golfing while on their honeymoon, you can include personalized golf balls in the basket. Some other things to consider would be a favorite treat, a favorite beer or wine, and a favorite CD. Although candles can create a romantic atmosphere, keep in mind that many hotels will not allow the candles to burn. As an alternative, consider bubble bath, massage oil or rose petals to sprinkle on the bed.
You could put together a themed basked based on where they're honeymooning, on an activity they enjoy doing together, on romance, on wine or just about anything else.
Making a basket may take some time to put together, but thoughtful gifts always speak measures, and there are many stores and websites where you can find all you need to create a beautiful basket.
Buy a Basket
If you don't have time to make a basket, many companies make beautiful arrangements that include food and wine. One thing you are going to want to think about is delivery: Decide whether to give them the basket yourself or have it waiting for them in their hotel room. Most gift-basket companies will deliver, but if you want it placed in their hotel room you may have to include special instructions or coordinate with the hotel.
