Christmas Gift Basket Ideas

DIY Dinner and Movie Gift Basket

If you are trying to come up with some Christmas gift ideas for hard to buy people on your Christmas gift list what I love to do is make themed Christmas gift baskets. One of my favorite Christmas Gift Basket ideas is a Dinner and Movie themed gift basket.

It is so easy to make personalized gifts for friends and family when you pick up a gift card or two and use them as part of a gift basket. Who wouldn't love a personalized gift card gift basket for Christmas?

You can pick up a gift card for almost any restaurant, store or movie streaming service you can imagine.

You can find many gift cards at your local grocery store or you can conveniently shop from home from an online store.

Since I am making a Dinner and Movie Gift Basket, I have included a Restaurant gift card and a Netflix gift card.

You can pick up a gift card for a favorite restaurant or streaming service at Amazon while you are doing the rest of your Christmas shopping..

A Netflix gift card can be used to open a new Netflix account or can be applied to a current Netflix account.

To make a Dinner and Movie Gift Basket pick up a pretty wire basket and some basket filler at the craft store.

Buy boxes of candy that you could buy at a movie theater and some microwave popcorn with extra butter. You have to have extra butter on the pop corn!

Tuck a few boxes of Cracker Jacks and boxed candy into the gift basket along with the microwave popcorn.

Cracker Jacks is one of those nostalgic snack foods that can bring back childhood memories for the older people on your Christmas gift list.

Tuck the gift cards into the front of the basket so your recipient will see them.

Attach a pretty bow to the top of the basket and a cute Christmas ornament to the front.

There are so many different themed Christmas Gift basket ideas that you could come up with just by checking out the the available cards at your local grocery store or at an online store like, Amazon.com
