A Glimmer gift basket is less about filling space and more about creating a feeling. When done thoughtfully, each item feels intentional, complementary, and quietly luxurious — enhancing the bottle rather than competing with it. Whether you’re gifting for the holidays, a host, or a simple thank-you, here’s how to build a Glimmer basket that feels cohesive, elevated, and effortless.

The Essentials: What Pairs Beautifully With Glimmer

Something Sweet

A touch of sweetness softens the basket and makes it feel celebratory.

Consider:

High-quality dark or milk chocolate
Chocolate-covered almonds or hazelnuts
A small box of artisanal truffles
Candied citrus slices or nougat

Choose chocolates with clean packaging and neutral tones. One or two well-chosen sweets feel far more refined than a handful of mixed treats.

Something Fresh or Seasonal

Fresh elements bring life and texture to the basket.

Try adding:

Clementines, blood oranges, or pears
Dried figs or apricots
A small cluster of grapes (if gifting immediately)
A sprig of rosemary or eucalyptus for scent and structure

Even one piece of fruit or greenery can make the entire basket feel more abundant and considered.

Something Savoury

Balance the sweetness with something crisp or indulgent.

Good options include:

Lightly salted nuts (almonds, cashews, pistachios)
Gourmet popcorn in minimalist packaging
Artisan crackers or flatbreads
A small jar of olives or marcona almonds

Keep flavours classic and subtle so they don’t overpower the Glimmer experience.

Something for the Moment

These are the items that turn the basket into an experience.

Think:

A pair of elegant coupe glasses
A gold bar spoon or bottle stopper
A linen or cotton tea towel in ivory or beige
A printed Glimmer mocktail recipe card (Head to our Instagram for Glimmer approved mocktail recipes)

These pieces invite the recipient to slow down and enjoy the ritual, not just the product.

Something Self-Care Inspired

Glimmer pairs naturally with moments of rest and intention.

Add one soft, calming element such as:

A clean-burning candle
Herbal or calming tea
Cozy socks or an eye mask
A small journal or handwritten affirmation card

One self-care item is enough — the goal is calm, not clutter.

Featuring Glimmer Cans: A Modern Gifting Option

Glimmer’s cans make an especially thoughtful gift for those who value flexibility, portability, and ease — without compromising on elegance.

Why Cans Work So Well

Perfect for smaller baskets or minimalist gifts
Ideal for picnics, markets, travel, and hosting
Easy to share, chill, and enjoy individually
The same refined Glimmer experience in a modern format

They’re a beautiful option for hosts, coworkers, or anyone who appreciates a more casual-luxe approach.

How to Present Glimmer Cans

Presentation is key to keeping the look elevated.

Try:

Arranging three cans upright in a neat row
Nestling them in soft tissue or linen within a shallow basket
Pairing with a single coupe glass or gold straw
Adding a small ribbon or tag tied around the grouping

For standalone gifting, place the cans in a sleek box or reusable tote with minimal branding and a short note tucked inside.

Keeping It Cohesive

To ensure your basket looks polished rather than busy:

Stick to a soft, neutral palette (champagne, ivory, blush, warm beige)
Limit yourself to five to seven total items
Vary textures, not colours
Leave breathing room — negative space is part of the design

The bottle or cans should always remain the focal point.

A Final Touch That Matters

A simple note completes the experience.

A few ideas:

“A little sparkle for your season.”
“For slow moments and beautiful gatherings.”
“Celebrate mindfully.”

Place it where it’s immediately visible, so it feels integrated into the gift rather than an afterthought.

Thoughtful Simplicity, Done Well

The most memorable Glimmer gift baskets aren’t the fullest — they’re the most intentional. When each element is chosen with care, Glimmer becomes more than a bottle or a can. It becomes a moment, a mood, and a beautifully considered experience.
