We have some sweet friends of ours moving into a new home this weekend and not being one who could ever pass up an opportunity for gifting I thought they needed a housewarming gift to go with that new home of theirs 🙂
Since the 4th of July is next week I decided to make a fun 4th of July themed gift basket that they could enjoy in their new backyard (complete with an awesome fire pit!)…although, on second thought, this gift totally works as a “summer fun” or “s’mores” type of gift basket too!
I bought some fun red, white, and blue star marshmallows, placed them in a glassine bag. and tied it up with some red and white twine. I added in a box of graham crackers and decorated the box up with a red doily and some blue and white twine. Of course, you can’t have s’mores without some chocolate…plain or the peanut butter cup variety, it’s all good! And then I threw in a few boxes of sparklers and red, white, and blue glow sticks for their 3 littles too.
I found this cute metal tin at Target (that can be re-used for flowers or a toy/book bin), added a bit of tissue paper to the bottom, and then placed everything just so.
And there you have it, a fun 4th of July themed gift basket just ready for giving!
Thanks for stopping by today!!
XOXO,

They LOVED it!! It’s nice to not have to think about what to do after dinner sometimes, right!
