Gift giving has been around since prehistoric times as a way to show someone appreciation. In ancient Rome and Egypt, the practice evolved, and individuals would present others with hand-made hampers filled with fruits, nuts, and other delicacies during special occasions. The tradition has evolved today to include all types of items.
Fun fact, the “multiple pleasure principle” suggests that discovering several small items in a gift basket creates more happiness than one large gift! That’s what makes MINISO the perfect spot to create a gift basket your loved ones will remember for years to come.
I asked MINISO staff to pick out items to create the ideal MINISO gift basket. Check it out now!
Sanrio Storage Bin:
Did you know some gift baskets come in durable containers that recipients can reuse for storage? Jaira Ann of Southbay Pavilion is living in the year 3025 with their gift basket choice, flipping the gift basket idea totally onto its head. Here’s what they had to share:
“The Sanrio Storage bins are easy to build, obviously cute, and are very handy! When not in use, it can be folded and put away. [It’s easy] to find and grab what you need. Bins can be heavy to carry, but the Sanrio storage bins have wheels, making them more accessible to move around.”
Plushie, Candy, Fuzzy Socks, Phone Charm, Hand Cream, Pen, Surprise Bag
Jenna of Kitsap Mall understood the assignment – and everything they recommended for an ideal MINISO gift basket would make me smile (especially how cost-effective it is!). Jenna goes on to explain:
“I picked these items specifically because I wanted to make them affordable yet cute. Everything I chose was under ten dollars, even the basket that you can also buy with everything included in it!”
Sanrio Characters Bus Stop Decorative Light (Pochacco), Strawberry Shortcake Collection Blueberry Nourishing Lip Balm Sphere, Melting Sunday Eau de Parfum, Butterbear Collection Plush Stationery Case, and Hello Kitty Pop Star Vinyl Plush Surprise Box
Grace of Tucson Mall went the extra mile in sharing their gift basket ideas. I’ll be brief so they can have the spotlight with their description of why these are ideal items:
“With the Pochacco Bus Stop Night Light, I wanted to include something that was Pochacco themed because he is my all-time favorite character. I thought the night light was cute and fitting for the little children who come in [to MINISO]! For the Strawberry Shortcake Blueberry Lip Balm, I [believe] makeup is popular among customers, and I wanted to include something both adults (young adults) and children (+ teens) could use and enjoy! I chose the Melting Sunday Perfume because I love perfume. It’s one of my favorite things in the world, and that’s the favorite perfume we sell [at MINISO]! The Butterbear Plush Stationery case was chosen because it has been a very neglected product by customers here. I wanted to give it a bit of a spotlight because it’s really cute! And lastly, I chose the Hello Kitty Pop Star Vinyl Blind Box because Blind Boxes are a staple product of MINISO, and the Pop Star series is EXTREMELY popular among customers! ”
There you have it, loads of MINISO items to build that special someone a fun gift basket.
