Make Clay Pot Gift Baskets

You can use various techniques to decorate a clay pot and turn it into a unique gift basket! Create special gifts for everyone you know.

Smaller clay pots can be used to hold:

1. Candy
2. Candles
3. Individual Coffee, Tea, or Cocoa Packets
4. Pens and a Small Notepad
5. Potpourri
6. Mail Polish and a Small Manicure Set

It is helpful to have a theme or special occasion in mind when creating larger clay pot gift baskets. You should also keep in mind hobbies and activities the gift recipient likes. For example:

• Decorate with pastel colors and fill with bottles, rattles, bibs, etc. for a baby shower gift
• For someone who enjoys cooking, add kitchen utensils, a cookbook, special spices, etc.
• Fill with bathroom needs such as hand lotion, fancy soap, bath oil, etc.
• A pot with garden tools, a magazine, seed packets, etc. would be a nice gift for an avid gardener.
• A golfer might enjoy getting tees, golf balls, and other related items.

You can use these ideas to make everyone you know a special, personalized gift!
