Great Ideas for gift basket 'filling':
The basket filling doesn't all have to be exotic, eye-appealing, and expensive. Use crumpled up newspaper to fill the bottom of the container and give it a more 'stuffed' look. Then, you can top the newspaper with something more exotic an colorful, like:
Cellophane 'grass'
Shredded paper (in any/many colors)
Wood shavings
Tissue paper
Towels
Small blanket
Baby - diapers
Fabric
Sponges
Candy kisses
Deflated mylar balloon(s)
Popcorn (unbuttered)
Flower petals
Real, rose petals for the romantic, or silk flower petals
Or fill it to the rim with
curlicued wrapping ribbon
