Kids' Gift Basket Theme Ideas

Use animals as inspiration for a gift basket.


Give a kid-themed gift basket to a child for her birthday or other special event. Fill the basket with books, toys and games that fit a specific theme along with edible items. Create baskets featuring frogs, rabbits, trucks and other cartoon themes or buy a premade one at the store.


Dinosaur


Make a dinosaur-themed gift basket for a boy who cherishes these Jurassic giants from the past. Buy a brown wicker basket and line it with dinosaur fabric or a prehistoric T-shirt for the boy. Tie blue ribbon around small 3-inch-long dinosaur toys and tie this on top of the inner arch of the handle so that the toys dangle. Include dinosaur books, plush toys, hats and other accessories, along with a handmade card featuring T-Rex.


Candy Land


Create a candy land basket for a little girl who loves sweets. Buy a pink or purple basket and line it with candy cane fabric. Place a Candy Land game in the middle of the basket and surround it with plush pink, yellow and purple toys. Fill up empty space with chocolate candies, candy canes and other treats.


Strawberry Shortcake


Customize a strawberry shortcake basket for a girl who enjoys this treat along with Strawberry Shortcake dolls. Buy a red basket and adorn it with white and red checker fabric or cloth with small strawberries printed on it. Place a full size Strawberry Shortcake doll in the middle of the basket. Put fresh strawberries inside a red bowl and cover the top with saran wrap. Set packaged shortcake cups or angel food cake next to the strawberries and fill up empty spaces with other smaller Strawberry Shortcake dolls and toys.


Peter Rabbit


Create a Peter Rabbit-themed gift basket for a boy who treasures these classic stories. Buy a brown wicker basket and line it with blue or yellow fabric. Place a Peter Rabbit doll and books in the middle of the basket. Add additional touches such as wooden toy carrots, wrapped chocolates and other toys. Tie a blue or yellow ribbon on the handle of the basket.
