Recently we purchased a large amount of inventory from a business that closed. We found some larger baskets that they had not been using because of a “flaw” here and there. They had arrived that way when purchased, but they had never used them.

We decided to play around with Ribbon and used hot glue to “enhance” the actual basket over the “flaws” It was fantastic!
We are now on the search through our inventory looking for Flawed baskets ! ha

Lower-priced baskets and ribbon are found in many places.

What we strive to do is strike a balance between when to use lower-cost products and when to add items of higher quality.

The ultimate gauge of this is what the customer is willing to spend.

I agree with using cheaper baskets and more expensive ribbon but if you shop right you actually can do both. This time of the year a lot of Christmas ribbon come in a variety of colors with glitter and shine. some of the ribbon can be used year around.The dollar stores have numerous type of ribbon its even cheaper after the holidays.
