Fun, creative DIY gift baskets

Personal Care

Personalised presents are not only lovely to give, but bring out your creative side.

With Valentine’s Day approaching, have you thought about what to give your loved one yet? In case you still need some ideas, remember that Amway products make lovely gifts, and make men and women of all ages feel special. Not celebrating Valentine’s Day? These gift baskets work for any special occasion!

Creating the gift basket

Alongside flowers, chocolates and jewellery, fragrance remains one of the most popular choices on Valentine’s Day, along with bath and body care products. To make your gift even more special, you can personalise it by creating your own gift packaging. All you need to do is find a pretty basket, line it with silk scarves or soft cotton fabrics, and carefully arrange the products inside, adding ribbons and wrapping paper in fondant or jewel colours. Other decorative items could be tulle, confetti and origami figurines.

Mix and match different products, and play with colour. Here are a couple mood boards to inspire you!

Homely and nature-inspired:

Sweet and girly:

Basic steps

1. Find a pretty container like a decorated tin, an ornamental bowl, a wooden box or a wicker basket

2. Fill it with shredded tissue paper or strips of gauzy fabric to cushion the gifts and make the basket appear fuller

3. Lay the products attractively in the container, wrapped or unwrapped

4. Fill the space around the products with sweets or chocolates, pieces of fruit, tiny leaves or flowers

5. Wrap the basket in clear cellophane and finish it off with a large ribbon

6. Add a pretty gift tag or card

Great products for gifting

Any woman would love to receive an Amway fragrance, whether it’s a refreshing burst of sparkling fruits and flowers, like WISTFUL™ or WISTFUL No. 1, or gentle and sensual, like ANTICIPATE™ Intense or ANCESTRY™ in PARIS. And for the man in your life, you can’t go wrong with one of the elegant and subtle OPPORTUNE™ fragrances. Wrap it up in a soft, gauzy fabric or paper and add a beautiful ribbon.

Other gifts in the basket could be any one of the BODY SERIES™ range of products that are especially gentle, or a luxurious hand cream to pamper the skin and keep it moisturised, like ARTISTRY™ Essential Hand Creme. See the slideshow below for suggested hand and body products.
