Are Cups and Saucers in Your Gift Baskets?

by Shirley George Frazier on September 8, 2008

Tea cups and saucers pair well with gift baskets or as single gifts. Like teapots, cups and saucers are a popular addition to gift baskets themes, including:

  • Birthday
  • Get Well
  • Happy Housewarming
  • Bereavement
  • Administrative Professionals Day
  • A teapot is shown in a get well basket on the Gift Basket Tutorials site, but you may not understand how to add tea cups and saucers within designs. Here are three quick tips.

  • Stabilize the saucer beneath (under) or behind (in an upright position) the cup with two or three dots of glue.
  • Place a package of tea bags within the cup and surround it with shred.
  • Wrap the tea cup and saucer individually in bubble wrap before shipping the gift. It’s better to cushion each piece rather than have both items arrive broken.
  • Tea cups and saucers are often wrapped as a single gift, so the pair can be a best seller for you inside or out of a gift basket.
