A candle gift basket is often wrapped in transparent cellophane and delivered to the recipient’s door. However, there are some alternatives to wrapping a candle gift basket which may appeal to you. Baskets are the usual containers for gift baskets but the way they are wrapped may be individualized by just adding or taking away some element.

One change that can set apart your candle gift basket is to forego the cellophane. There are a few advantages to this. If your gift basket contains an aromatherapy candle, the scents of the candle can be noticed immediately. Excluding the transparent cellophane wrap will also result in the recipient seeing the items in the candle gift basket immediately, in all their glory.

Another good reason for leaving out the cellophane wrap when giving a candle gift basket is to expose the beauty of the candle arrangement. Arranging the candles in your gift basket in a pleasing manner can be fun for the giver as well as giving the recipient something nice to look at. You can even add tissue or some other attractive type of basket liner in which to nestle the candles. Colored or textured paper which has gone through a shredder can make a nice bed for the candles to lay on.

Ribbons are another addition to beautify a candle gift basket. Coordinating the color of the ribbon with that of the candles in the basket will make it a joy to look at. Ribbons wound around each candle can also add to the beauty of the candle gift basket. Or try adding cutouts or dried flowers and leaves to each candle with a thin ribbon or at strategic places around the basket.

A candle gift basket can be made up of different colors and designs of candles for a striking appearance or you can opt for candles in the same color family.

Changing the way that your candle gift is presented can be a refreshing change from the usual. Let your imagination run wild when decorating the basket. Investigate the designs of other candle gift baskets to get more ideas about how to make your gift look unique.
