Summer-spired Gift Baskets for #LoveYourLifeFriday

Pineapples are all the rage, and it was easy for me to collect pineapple mementos, scents, and flavors … all with cute fruit images.

 I found this basket and bandana, both at Wal-Mart. The basket was less than $5.00 and the bandana was $1.00.

 I started by lining the basket with my pineapple bandana.

 And then I added the fun stuff: some lotion from Bath and Body Works.

 A few treasures from Target.

 Cute set of cards from Old Navy.

 and this great watercolor printable from One Project Closer.

 How cute is that?!

 I needed another grad gift for a special friend who is attending Clemson University in the fall.

I got a 1/2 yard of this cute bandana/Clemson fabric from my local Wal-Mart.

Then I started gathering orange treasures, to fit into this basket.

 I suspect some of these treats might not make it through the summer, to the start of school, but that’s okay!

Cute tags were a special touch, in the basket.

 I generated these adorable tags with an image from the Silhoutte store.

 Two cute and summer-spired gift basket ideas!
