Make a Sorority Gift Basket

Whether you are making a college care package or a sorority gift basket, here are some tips and some ideas for items to fill up a container with. You can make your gift (if you have time) or order one (if you need it delivered)

How should you make your own college care package? It will be a fun project and it will save money for sure.

You need a large container. A basket is always good, but be creative because you might already have something that will work just as well. I was recently in the dollar store and I noticed that they have a variety of organizing containers and buckets available in more than one color. Be sure to get a container that is big enough to hold a lot so that your gift will have the WOW appeal and really make somebody's day special.

Then make a shopping trip to Walmart of a grocery store and buy a batch of goodies similar to the items in the picture above like, boxed drinks, candy, microwave popcorn, chips, mac and cheese, pop tarts, soup cups. You might want to add some tasty in season fruit and either trail mix or nuts.

I always keep a lot of ribbon handy so that I can make anything I give more special. Tie a ribbon on ANYTHING and suddenly it looks like a lovely gift.

With a college care package, I just cut a long piece of ribbon (like 5 or 6 feet long). I put the center of the ribbon under the basket or bucket and then pull the ribbon ends up around both sides of the basket. Then tie a big fluffy bow at the top to hold it all together. The wider the ribbon, the better.  If you don't have ribbon, you can cut or tear a long strip of fabric and use it like wide ribbon, tying a bow at the top of your basket.

I gift like this is appreciated by anyone, but use the idea for your sorority sisters especially Little Sisters or Big Sisters. Add a handmade card and/or a special sorority gift or include a personalized  sorority item and you have an awesome gift that is sure to please.
