For a friend’s wedding this month, I wanted to make a cute gift basket that they could use right away as a couple. I really had no idea what “theme” I was going to use until I saw this beautiful cold brew coffee kit at Cost Plus World Market. That’s where I got the idea that I would make it a coffee themed, cozy gift basket.

Everything I bought was either from Target or World Market, and very affordable. (Except the basket, that one was from Michael’s craft store!)
I struggled with finding an affordable large basket that I knew they could continue using. I saw this one at Michael’s Craft Store and thought it would be perfect. It was a little difficult to work with as it’s kind of floppy and not as structured as I would have wanted. But I still think it turned out perfect. The texture of the basket and the handles on each side is why I really love it.
Since this particular basket was pretty deep, I had to use some plain craft paper as a filler to prop the items up. Once I had the items all where I wanted them to be, I sprinkled in the crinkle paper. TIP: I never buy it! I just always keep it and reuse it whenever I find some. (think the filler in your beauty subscription boxes or whenever you receive a gift with this filler)
I knew I wanted a soft cozy blanket so I got one at Target-it is perfect because it already came wrapped with a ribbon ! (and had a cartwheel for that one! score!)
I originally had planned to put a french press in the basket too, but when I saw this beautiful vintage style coffee grinder, I thought that would be a fun touch instead! (I love how it can be used as a decoration in the kitchen while also being functional).
I picture the newlyweds baking these pumpkin scones together and then snuggling on the couch sipping coffee while the warm Fall scent of the candle fills the room.

A few other ideas to put in this gift basket:
- Slippers for him and her
- The newlyweds favorite magazines or a book you think they would enjoy
- A redbox giftcard so they can veg-out and watch a new movie
- A french press or if you know they have a keurig- K-cups
- A cute spatula or wooden spoon with a mixing bowl for the scone mix
- Essential oils or massage oils
- Soft fuzzy socks
- Pancake or Waffle Mix and fancy maple syrup
- Local honey and biscuit mix
- Anything monogrammed
Thank you for stopping by!
I had so much fun putting this gift basket together and hope you got some inspiration for your own gift basket ideas!
Have a beautiful day!
Ok, this is such a cute idea! I have never even thought to make something like this, but I LOVE how personal this is! I would have loved getting something like this at my wedding.
I love the idea of this gift basket. So romantic. Your choices of inclusions are lovely as well as the list of other options you added. Really thoughtful.
I love this! This is a great idea and such a thoughtful gift. I’ll be doing these next time someone gets married.
Such a sweet idea! My BiL&SiL received a basket with various bottles of wine with labels around the necks as a wedding present. A bottle for each “first” during the first year. Such a thoughtful gift!
Awesome! These types of gifts are my favorite! I would like to start gifting this way, thank you for the neat idea.
I love baskets and this year I think I’m going to do a bunch cause they are well easy to do and nice to do!
I absolutely love making my own gift baskets!! This one is adorable.
Me too ! Thanks sierra ! 😁

Such a great idea!!
Thank you !!
I love this idea so much❤️ Can’t wait to do this for a friend! Thanks girl!
What a perfect gift idea!!
I made one and got everything from Big Lots. I used a serving tray and added a coffee cake mix. They had a cold press maker for $8. I put in hand towels instead of a blanket. Very cute idea for wedding shower gift.
That sounds adorable !! Thank you so much for sharing that with me! 😀 I wish we had a Big Lots out here
