A great idea for a thoughtful wedding gift is to put together a gift basket for the couple. It’s a practical idea that would show you put a lot of thought and care into your present and didn’t just buy something from a store.
Consider using a picnic basket for the container. A picnic basket will be very useful and can be filled with many small to medium size items. Here’s some ideas for what to fill your basket with:

For an extravagant basket —
- Gourmet cookies, candies, truffles and sweets
- Spa items including scented candles, soaps, lotions, sponges
- Gourmet cheese, wine, olive oil, vinegars
- Gourmet flavored coffee beans with small coffee pot and 2 coffee mugs
- Gift certificates to spas, restaurants, movie theaters, bookstore etc.

For a practical, personal basket —
-Homemade treats including cookies and candies
-Kitchen items like measuring cups and spoons, graters, coffee mugs, spices, wooden spoons, trivets, pot holders, hand towel sets, can opener, tongs, cheese slicer, corkscrew for wine etc.
- Homemade greeting card
- Selection of herbal teas and a 2 person teapot with tea cups and spoons
- Subscription to the local newspaper or a favorite magazine
