Where to Find Baskets
Zena asks: “It’s becoming more difficult to find baskets to make gift baskets. How can I find basket sources when suppliers aren’t around?”
There are plenty of basket sources still available, especially if you’re located in the United States. Even if you’re not U.S. based, baskets are imported to your country from many places for many reasons, including gift basket making.
Before I qualified to buy baskets from wholesalers, I visited retail stores selling baskets, and these stores usually leave tags attached to baskets for sale telling you who made it or where the retailer purchased it.
Learning where florists buy their supplies is another way to locate suppliers.
The website, BasketsGiftBaskets.com, may also be helpful in leading you to basket sources.
Baskets are made mostly in Asian-based countries, and they’re not slowing down production. Keep looking in retail stores and through wholesale facilities that cater to florists and related professionals. You’ll find that baskets are plentiful in places right in your backyard.
