A few years ago I started making my own personalized Christmas gift boxes for family members as Christmas gifts. Mostly I create Christmas beauty boxes for the women in the family, but as you will see this concept can be used for many different themes. Putting them together is almost as fun as receiving them! Read on to see how to make Christmas gift baskets that will wow friends and family.
Subscription boxes are everywhere, and you can find one for just about anything. The problem is that they can be expensive and often are not practical. Creating beauty box Christmas gifts is a great way to show someone you put a little extra thought into their gift. This concept could also be used to create themed Christmas gift baskets in lots of other categories. Some example are:
- Pet Lovers Gift Box
- Kitchen Themed Box (gourmet items, spices, sauces, dish towels, utensils)
- Pajamas Box
- Favorite Snacks (good for men)
- Accessories Gift Box (affordable jewelry, socks, hats, scarves)
- Tool Gift Box
Pick The Perfect Gift Box Or Basket
I usually shop for my boxes at Marshall’s and T.J. Maxx because they have such a good selection and they are so affordable. The presentation of a gift like this is really important, so choose colors and styles of gift boxes that fit the recipients personality and personal style.
I have linked some boxes if you prefer to shop online.
Customize The Box For Different Age Groups
One thing I love about beauty boxes is that you can customize the box for little girls, grandmothers, and every age in between! Whimsical items are loved by little girls, so think bright colors and sparkle.
Older women usually have more sophisticated taste, so maybe go with softer color palettes or traditional colors. Ultimately, choose a box that suits that person’s taste just like you were buying them something to wear.
Purchase Sets For Gift Baskets
Purchasing gift sets is a great way to inspire some Christmas gift baskets. You can give the set as a whole, or split it up to add to your holiday gift boxes. This can safe you lots of money if you have multiple Christmas gift boxes to assemble.
Things To Include In A Beauty Box Christmas Gift

I hope you found this post inspiring! As you can see, Christmas gift baskets/boxes are all about the presentation. Choose items with an overall theme, and then try to get the colors coordinate. Notice in the example above, I used pine, blues, greens, and white.
