A white basket is the best base for the romantic gift basket. Using a white basket will make a great contrast to the various shades of red, pink and white that will be inside the basket. If you are creating a bridal or wedding romantic gift basket, try to discover the colors of the wedding and design your basket with those colors in mind.

Once you have found your basket and decided upon your color theme, you are well on your way to filling the basket with romantic goodies. Always include a bottle of wine, champagne or sparkling cider when building a romantic gift basket, this single item conveys romance and celebration. In addition, two flute champagne glasses on either side of the bottle are a necessary addition. A cute addition is to fill both champagne glasses with Hershey's kisses and hugs, conveying the idea of romance a bit further. It is now possible to order personalized M& M's, so you might want to include those as well if your recipient/s love chocolate.

In a bridal romantic gift basket, including candles, two bath pillows, bubble bath, shampoo and conditioner, lotions and bath soaps along with a romantic musical compact disc conveys the idea of long leisurely romantic baths together, sipping champagne and dreaming about their newly shared future.
