How to Build a Burr Basket
Burr Baskets are all-the-rage now. Understandably. They make the perfect holiday gift, and they’re a lot of fun to make. You can customize a basket for practically anyone - your grandmother, your teacher, your best friend, etc. (Watch Lauren's video on building a Burr Basket for her mum at the end of the website!)
The key is coziness - things that will provide warmth, comfort and indulgence through the dark winter months.
There's no formula, but as a basic rule of thumb, a Burr Basket may include:
- a cozy item to cuddle with - e.g., pillow or throw
- something warm for the feet - e.g., socks or slippers
- a warm scent - e.g., a candle, spray or lotion
- a mug for hot chocolate, tea or mulled wine
- something yummy to eat - e.g., baked goods or chocolates
- and a bonus (or bonuses) - e.g., something you wish everyone could try
We love the idea of using our Foot Spa Basin or Mini Tote as the basket - and filling it with Aloe Socks; Foot Salts; Dream Silk Comfort Cream; Sleep Mask; Foot Oil or Massage Lotion; Pillow Mist; Gold Under-Eye Patches for a touch of holiday sparkle... The possibilities are endless, but we've curated a list of our coziest offerings.
Have fun - and let your creativity go wild!
