4 MINUTE READ

New Year’s is a time to celebrate with loved ones, make resolutions, and most importantly, have fun. Whether you are hosting a lavish celebration or a small get-together, chances are you would like to leave guests with a keepsake to remember the occasion.

From champagne and sparklers to food and candles, there are so many items you can include in a New Year’s gift basket. Today, we’re sharing three gift basket ideas for New Year’s – because who wouldn’t want to ring in the new year with a few gifts?

1. Champagne gift basket

Once the clock strikes midnight, it’s the perfect time to pop open a bottle of champagne and make a toast alongside your loved ones. Here are a few key items you should include in your champagne gift basket.

A bottle of champagne or sparkling juice

Whether your recipient prefers champagne or sparkling cider, you should be sure to include a bottle of bubbly in your gift basket. Luckily, there are so many different options to choose from, all ranging in price from moderately priced to very expensive. All you have to do is choose a bottle that your gift basket recipient is sure to love.

A set of glasses

To accompany the bottle of champagne or sparkling cider, we recommend incorporating a set of champagne glasses or flutes into your gift basket. Glasses are absolutely necessary if you are looking to make a toast at your party.

When picking out the glasses for your gift basket, remember that champagne flutes are much slimmer in size than traditional wine glasses. Glasses are typically sold in sets of two or four, so be sure to choose a set that is small or large enough to accommodate your recipient.

Snacks

To finish up your champagne gift basket, it can be a good idea to add a few snacks into the mix. Be sure to choose the right snacks that pair well with champagne, like salted popcorn, cashews, or potato chips.

New Year’s is a time to celebrate, and this gift basket provides its recipient with everything they need to ring in the new year in style!

Sparklers

Sparklers are small hand-held fireworks that burn slowly and result in sparks, colorful flames, and other fun effects. Sparklers have become a staple of New Year’s celebrations, so you should be sure to include a handful of these in your party supplies gift basket.

Noisemakers

Once midnight hits, you are likely going to hear a rush of noise, applause, and cheers from your guests. Be sure to add noisemakers to your gift basket as a way to bring the festivity and ring in the new year.

Grapes

A common tradition for New Year’s is to eat 12 grapes once midnight hits. Each grape is meant to represent the upcoming months in the new year. By eating 12 grapes, you are locking in all of the good luck.

To bring good luck to your gift basket recipient, you can include a bag of grapes as the finishing touch.
