6. Incorporate Budget Atmospheric Lighting
Adding light creates an instant wow factor that transforms an ordinary gift into an experience.
Weave a $2 strand of battery-operated micro-fairy lights (warm white, orange, or purple) throughout the items, hiding the battery pack beneath your shredded tissue base. For children or party favors, drop a few cracked neon green or orange glow sticks into the bottom of a cauldron beneath translucent cellophane crinkles to make the entire basket glow from within.
