Are Cups and Saucers in Your Gift Baskets?

September 8, 2008 · Filed Under No-Basket Gifts, Wrapping Materials 

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.
