Complement Your Christmas Decor with the Warmth of American-made Handwoven Baskets
The holidays are here—the season when we gather with family and friends for Christmas parties, holiday dinners, and gift-giving. We plan, prepare, bake, shop, and decorate in anticipation of spending Christmas with loved ones and creating warm memories filled with all the joy the holidays bring. During my holiday hustle and bustle, I use a lot of baskets. I use baskets to organize, serve, gift, and decorate, and my most treasured baskets are handcrafted in the USA.
I love that baskets never go out of style. They are as on-trend today as they were a decade and a century ago. If I want to change my Christmas decor from modern farmhouse to traditional country or from vintage cottage style to trendy minimalist, my hand-woven, real maple wood baskets work equally well in any decor. Season after season, I can use my baskets at Christmastime and throughout the year.
Simple Styling Ideas and SHH! A Secret From Santa
Imagine your living room with a stunning handcrafted basket filled with pinecones, lights, and seasonal greenery or a large woven basket filled with cozy holiday blankets. You can also use baskets as serving pieces for your holiday table setting. Small baskets can hold fresh bread, fruits, or homemade treats. Consider putting a stack of firewood in a large basket near the fireplace or using a small Christmas basket to display handwritten Christmas cards. A tobacco basket with winter florals and a holiday bow instead of a wreath gives your front door a Christmas farmhouse look.
One of my favorite ways to use baskets during the holidays is to store wrapped gifts. A small basket on an end table or the fireplace mantel contains small gifts and gift cards that could get lost under the Christmas tree, while a larger storage basket in the entryway keeps gifts that are going to gatherings under control. I’ve even used large, lidded baskets to hide children’s gifts in plain sight. It’s never occurred to them to peek inside. *wink, wink*
Christmas Gift Baskets: Inspiration to Spark Your Gift-Giving Creativity
Baskets are also an excellent way to gift Christmas presents. When I create a gift basket, the basket itself is part of the gift, so I want it to be something the receiver will want to use in their home. With so many bags, boxes, and cheap holiday baskets going out with the trash when Christmas ends, I know the baskets I give are enjoyed for decades after I’ve gifted them.
Christmas gift basket ideas are endless and can be as unique as the family and friends you’re gifting. A lined laundry basket with a pretty liner and fresh cotton linens for the newlyweds, a picnic basket with Christmas jam, sugar cookie dip, and holiday tea towels for the neighbor who helps you out, a crock basket full of kitchen utensils for the friend who loves to cook, or a fridge basket filled with magnets and a planner for a busy mom are just a few ideas to spark your imagination.
