Shoes Step In When a Basket’s Not Right

September 16, 2009 · Filed Under Baskets and Containers, Cellophane and Shrink Wrap 

shoes are a great gift basket containerContainers come in many shapes, and one that’s seemingly challenging to style is the wired shoe.

I’ve talked about shoes in the past, which sparked a great conversation.

The first time I looked for this non-basket container was when a client asked me to create gifts for six friends who were traveling with her on vacation. She wanted the gifts delivered ahead of time to the spa where they’d relax and enjoy an extended weekend.

A shoe was the one container I knew would wow them, and I was right. Each shoe was filled with chocolates, French twist cookies, and there was just enough room to include a mini book about girlfriends.

Each shoe was wrapped in cellophane and topped with a hand-tied bow with yards of curling ribbon cascading from the center.

Thankfully, working with a basket-less design wasn’t as difficult as I expected. In fact, it was fun.

Think for a minute about your designs. What type of container seemed at first to be a challenge but wasn’t, and which one that looked easy to work with was a major headache?
