I think one of the loveliest gifts you can give is a basket of items you know the recipient will enjoy. I find that a cozy-themed basket works well for a variety of people and can be customized for whomever you are choosing to make the basket.
So, whether you’re thinking about Christmas, you have a friend with an upcoming birthday, or you just want to give a gift to a friend in need, here are the things you need to make a cozy gift basket.

Start with a basket.
I love the look of a rope basket , and you can find an endless amount of styles and sizes. If you are looking to save money in the basket department, head to your local Dollar Tree, and grab a large basket or bin there.
Add a blanket.
Nothing says cozy like a warm blanket. Pick your color, style, and size, and add it to the basket.
Next, choose a great book.
Wolf Hollow is a recent favorite of mine, so I would likely include that in my gift basket.
Pick a fun mug.
It’s hard to go wrong with a fun mug. It’s just another simple element that brings cozy to your gift basket.
And finally…a nice warm beverage completes the cozy basket.
I love chai, and I think many people would enjoy finding it in their gift basket.
There you have it! A few simple “ingredients” add up to a super cozy gift basket. You can spend as little or as much as you like on each item. Make it special and meaningful…make it cozy!!
What about you? What would you add to a cozy gift basket? I would love to hear from you, so leave your suggestions in the comments below.
