Ever made a color-themed gift basket? If you’re ever stumped for a gift idea, or are buying for someone that’s difficult to buy for, or want to make an amazing just-because gift then find out their favorite color and make a whole gift basket based on it!

It’s so much easier than you think, because once you start looking you’ll see how many items you can find of one color! I’ve got cute printable tags and tutorials on how to put together a Pink Gift Basket, a Blue Gift Basket, a Teal Gift Basket, and even a Teal Gift Basket!

How do you make this DIY Red Gift Basket?

Step 1: Gather your supplies.

• Save

You will need:

• Red Gift Basket Items
• Red Container
• Red Paper Shred
• Red Ribbon
• Cardstock
• Scissors
• Hole Punch
• Free Printable Red Gift Basket Tags (Fill out the form below!)

Step 2: Print out the You Are Red-iculously Amazing gift tags.

When you print out the tags, they will look like this. They print four-to-a-page so you can make multiple gifts for multiple people, or you can have an extra couple of tags just in case you make a mistake.

Pro Tip: Print these tags on cardstock paper for the best results. If you print on regular paper, they will be flimsy and tear easily when attached to your gift.

Step 3: Gather your all red gift basket items.

Red was one of the easiest colored theme baskets to make because a TON of brands use it! Candies, makeups, beauty, gift cards, snacks, colognes and perfumes, electronics and more! See the big list of ideas you can use on Amazon here.

The great thing about these gift baskets is that you can make them a really big expensive gift by including expensive items, or you can keep them really affordable.

If you want to round out the red themed gift basket, you can add a gift card. This was for a friend of my daughter’s for her birthday, so we put the basket together and then added a red Target gift card to make it a complete gift!

Once you’ve got your red basket, red paper shred, and all your red gift ideas, it’s time to put them together into a red gift basket!

Every single basket is different depending on what you’ve added, the size of your basket, etc. Play with the arrangement until you’re happy with it. I like to put my tallest items in the back and the smaller filler items up front.

Paper shred makes a great basket filler because you can kind of press items down in the paper to keep them from wiggling around too much.

Step 4: Cut out and attach the tags.

The red gift tags really tie this gift together! You can snag them to print for free above. They say, “You are red-iculously amazing!“

Use a sharp pair of scissors and cut them out. Punch a hole in the corner of the tag, and run a ribbon through it to attach it to your gift basket.

This is what my red basket gift idea looked like once it was completed! You could easily give this as a birthday gift, a get well gift, a thank you gift, or just to make someone’s day better!
