One of the most common party planner dilemma is what to give away to guests at certain parties that don’t really have a set theme. Grandma’s birthday or Congratulations parties don’t really fit in the usual mainstream giveaway categories. It’s usually thank you cards and food that are given away.

Here’s an idea. How about if the guests are provided with materials to decorate ther very own giveaway? A rattan basket is easy enough to acquire, and art materials are readily available at craft stores. These can be used as containers for the food and the other things that the party owner wants to give away.

There can even be mini-competitions for families to participate in. Suggestions for contest categories include Most Colorful, Most Imaginative and Best Overall Design. Kids and adults can pitch in and everyone will have a great time making their custom baskets or trays.

Some occasions call for special basket and tray shapes (hearts for Valentines and stars for Christmas), but for other occasions, any nice woven basket will do. A party can even be created around the activity itself. A “basket-design party” sounds good even to the more hesitant party goers. The lure of competition and prizes will have them coming over, armed with ideas from design magazines.
