Metal Baskets – an Alternative to the traditional Wicker Basket
There are a million, probably a billion of creative gift basket ideas that you can conjure up. Sure, the traditional gift giving basket has always been the way to go, but since there are so many ideas out there with regard to gift baskets, why not stray way from the norm and unconventional, and opt for a modern take on the traditional basket. That’s right! Metal or tin containers are an alternative basket to consider for your gift giving needs. Each metal container is crafted with ornate and intricate designs and painted in rich colors that stand out. And the Lucky Clover Trading Co. has a growing selection of metal containers to choose from. Here are few ways that they can be used.
Gift Basket
The possibilities are endless when it comes to creating a gift basket using a metal container. Since the containers are molded with unique designs and are painted or stained in rich colors, all you need to do is add a few trinkets to make the gift complete. An example of this basket is the Gold Bronze Scroll Oblong metal container. It has a scrollwork design on the top portion of the container with leaves at the base, and a vertical brick pattern in the middle with two handles on the sides. For this particular basket, add a layer of fill at the bottom, so when you add the gifts, it will create a full look to the basket. One idea for a gift is to make an all chocolate treat basket for the chocolate lover. Another idea is to create a tea ensemble, complete with an assortment of flavorful teas and cookies.
Home Use
Have you ever ran into a situation when, while you’re on the phone, and needed to jot a number or name down, that you wish there was a pen and paper nearby? The polka dot rectangular with wood handle metal container is the perfect basket to place those pens and notepads for those moments when you need to write down a grocery list or take a message or write down a phone number. Place it by the main phone, the home office, or next to the nightstand in your bedroom. Due to its bright colors, it won’t be hard to miss.
For the kids, this particular metal container is handy for storing crayons, pencils, and markers. With two wooden handles on the sides and a cute polka dot design, little hands will be able to transport the container from one room to another with ease. If not in use, the container is small enough to fit on a bookshelf or child’s desk.
Floral Pot or Planter
Another use for a metal container is as a flower pot planter. The bronze antiqued ridged metal container, which comes in three different sizes, has a beautiful antique finish with a unique ridge design. There is no need to show off your flowers and plants in ordinary clay pots. This metal container will definitely add a modern look to the interior of your home. Since the container is able to hold water, all you have to do is fill the container with soil and either transfer the indoor plant inside, or add floral foam and create a fresh flower arrangement. The colors on this container will definitely complement the green foliage or multicolor floral arrangement.
Home Décor
With a lot of different designs and styles to choose from with regard to the metal containers, sometimes they are pretty by themselves. The Lucky Clover Trading Co. carries various sizes of the same style to provide options for consumers to simply use as home décor. You will receive compliment and questions from friends and neighbors on the antique ivory raised floral rectangular metal container. It too has an antique finish with a floral pattern that is embossed onto the container. It comes in three different sizes and can be placed beside one another on a bookshelf or on a credenza.
Basket Selection
With a growing selection of baskets, the Lucky Clover Trading Co. has the basket to spark and inspire creativity, whether it is for the home, business, gift, or décor. The metal container line is just one of the many different types of baskets to choose from. Open to the public, all it takes is a $50 minimum to place your order, and will usually ship within 24 hours. Visit the Lucky Clover Trading Co.’s online retail website and find your basket today!
