Music Lovers Gift Basket Idea

I’ve got a great gift idea for the music lover in your life. It’s a music lover’s gift basket. My son has a guitar teacher that has been teaching him to play for the past couple years. He’s pretty shy, but she has always taken the time to make sure he’s comfortable and has a good time. He loves his lessons with her now! To show our appreciation, I put together this gift basket for her.

It’s full of some wonderful gifts for her. She can snuggle up by the fire with some hot cocoa and a warm blanket and listen to Jessie J’s new holiday album This Christmas Day.

Included in the basket are some fun cot cocoa supplies. They have they cutest marshmallow hot cocoa toppers. I got these snowflake ones, but they also have some adorable snowmen.

These Santa mugs are so pretty! I love the red and white Christmas motif. They remind me of redwork embroidery.

Cost Plus World Market has the best hot cocoa flavors. My family goes there every year to pick up their tasty mixes. I really want to try the S’mores one. I got these small packets for the gift basket, but you can also get them in larger canisters.

This chenille throw is SO soft and luxurious! I almost want to keep it for myself! And isn’t this salted chocolate peppermint bark tin cute?! These are great for gift giving to your coworkers or neighbors. I also found this pretty holiday candle that she can light while she’s relaxing with her new Jessie J. CD.

Cost Plus World Market has a great selection of gift baskets to choose from. I chose this white oval basket and got some filler to put inside.

A beautiful and relaxing gift basket for the music lover on your list! I hope Evan’s teacher loves it! The cashier at the checkout said she was jealous of the person who would be receiving the basket. I’m a little jealous myself!
