The Occasion
It is important to think about the occasion when making a hamper.

The List
Make a list of all of the things you want to place in your hamper. Make sure to add alternative items in case you cannot find exactly what you want to purchase. Once you have all of your items consider the size of the basket you need to purchase to hold all of your items.
The Shopping Trip
Next take a shopping trip to buy the items you want to put in your hamper. Spending on the theme you chose, you will know which type of stores you need to go to. Aim for specialty stores. If you want an Asian theme, find stores that sell authentic Asian food. This will add to the quality of your hamper. Consider purchasing a nice Japanese or Korean wine. Purchase a variety of items so the person opening the hamper will have many different tastes to explore. When you have all of your items purchase the basket to hold them. Here you should also continue the theme if you can. If not, you can always decorate a plain basket in the theme you desire. When you have all of your items for the hamper, head over to the crafts store to purchase wrappings for the hamper.
Hamper Wrappings
