Hello crafty friends. It's Kim from Katydid Cards here with you today to share another video.
This time I used our Get Well Blog Hop as my inspiration and I found these two videos on how to make get well gift baskets. I don't know about you, but I love making...and receiving...gift baskets. To me, the basket, itself, is a gift; so everything inside is icing on the cake.
This first video is short and sweet, but provides a great jumping off point for making baskets:
This next video is a more elaborate version of a gift basket:
I think the perfect gift basket is somewhere in between the two.
If you want to create a gift basket of your own, here's a list of items you can include to make it entirely unique and perfect for your recipient. This is what I came up with in no particular order. If you have something to add, please share it in the comments.

Soft blanket
Hot-water bottle or a heatable pillow
