Okay, so around Halloween time, we’ve all heard and seen the craze around “Spooky Baskets,” and now that Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, we’re excited to build a Love Basket! A Love Basket, or Sweetheart Basket, is a Valentine’s Day gift basket that people create for their best friends, significant others, children, or just a special person in their life whom they want to surprise with something thoughtful. These baskets focus on being meaningful and showing someone you care without breaking the bank. 

Read on for a few things we’d include in a Love Basket for our best friends! Take a few ideas, recreate this one, or come up with your own creative take on this sweet holiday gift.  

Hand Lotion 

Include a nourishing hand lotion that keeps hands hydrated, soft, and smooth. It’s a small yet thoughtful addition that anyone would appreciate.  

Lip Gloss 

A touch of gloss is enough to boost anyone’s confidence. This simple and practical addition adds a little fun and sparkle to any occasion. 

Socks 

Throw in a pair of cozy, warm, and festive Valentine’s Day socks–perfect for lounging, staying warm, or adding a touch of festivity throughout the month. 

Stationary 

Whether it’s a set of themed sticky notes or a festive pen, stationary encourages creativity and organization. This is perfect for jotting down notes, reminders, or leaving little messages of kindness throughout.  

Hand Soap 

A beautifully scented handsoap makes a great addition to any space. Opt for a fresh, luxurious scent to elevate their hand-washing routine.

Hand Sanitizer 

A must-have for staying germ free! A hand sanitizer is always a great addition to a gift. Choose a refreshing scent and a formula that is suitable for daily use. 

Hair Accessories

The possibilities are endless! Include a headband, hair ties, a travel-friendly hairbrush, hair clips, or fun and festive scrunchies. Hair accessories are a necessity, and you can never have too many! 

Face Mask

Pick up a refreshing sheet mask or hydrating under-eye masks–perfect for anyone focusing on self-care or those who love a cozy night in. 

Mug 

A festive mug or cup is always a nice touch for a Love Basket. A Valentine’s-themed mug is perfect for enjoying their favorite beverages, whether it’s coffee, tea, or hot cocoa. 

Body Spray 

A light and refreshing body spray adds a touch of fragrance and freshness to their daily routine, making them feel confident with every spritz. 

Sweet Treats 

Whether it’s chocolate or gummies, gifting someone their favorite treat allows them to indulge and enjoy little moments of sweetness throughout their day. 

Festive Accessories 

From pens and stickers to fidget toys, throws, socks, or hair accessories, there are so many festive Valentine’s Day-themed accessories to choose from!  

Making and personalizing a Love Basket for someone is almost as much fun as receiving one. Customize your basket to suit your recipient, and watch them light up at the thoughtfulness behind your gift.
