Birthday baskets

Recommended by Gail

When my friend picked me up on my bday, this was waiting in the passenger seat for me. All my favorites + some surprises and necessities for the weekend ahead. It made me feel so taken care of and spoiled that I’ve now adopted it as my routine for gifting.

The recipe is simple: items/brands you already know they love, items you know they need but don’t want to buy (chapstick, gum, hand sanitizer), and items you think will make them feel spoiled. Place it all in a decorative basket that is functional for their home and voila, the bday basket is complete!

I end up doing this but mainly because I shop year round for my people. When I see something I know they’d like I snag it. Usually I have these bags of collected goodies that I have to spread throughout the year or just wrap it all up and create space for future presents 😂

Love that!! My mom is also a proactive gift giver, but specifically with Anthropologie candles. She loves em.
