A few days before the Chinese New Year, I was checking the FB page of my favourite basket shop in Petaling street and saw some beautiful rattan baskets. I didn’t visit the shop this year because of the Movement Control Order (MCO 2.0). When I found out that they were opened and also the distance is less than 10km from my house, I asked hubs to buy some baskets for me. Here is what I bought :-
The rattan baskets in 3 colours – original, red and brown. Aren’t they beautiful? I have a thing for rattan baskets if you don’t know already.
These are the 2 Chinese New Year gift baskets I made. The basket on the left consists of 2 containers of cookies and some mandarin oranges. The basket on the right is actually a birthday gift basket as well. I put a gift box together with a container of cookies and some mandarin oranges into the basket. For both baskets, I used gold crepe papers to line them and decorated them with cherry blossoms. I have a few ideas on how to decorate these gift baskets so hopefully I can curate and sell them next Chinese New Year. The rattan baskets are also great as birthday gift baskets for friends and family members.
