Things You Will Need
cane basket of required size , with a handle
gold spray paint
a few bunches of fresh roses and other flowers of your choice , with leaves
silk , satin , tissue or other soft fabrics , in colour of your choice
a few diyas
mithai , candles , chocolates , etc.
other gift items of your choice

Method

Choose a basket that can hold all your gifts and give you space to add some fresh flowers. Paint the basket in dull gold or silver or leave it natural.
Arrange bunches of flowers and leaves on one side of the basket. If required, you can insert them in soaked foam blocks to make sure they remain in place.
If using roses, as done here, you may not need any greens as the leaves of the roses help to cover the foam as well. Do not use many varieties of flowers as it may make the presentation look too busy.
Drape silk or tissue fabrics along the sides of the other half of the basket.
Informatively pack your gifts and place them in the hamper. Diyas can be improvised to serve as cups to hold candies. You can also bundle sweets and other got items in silk and translucent covers;tie the mouth decoratively with satin ribbons or golden thread before placing them in the hamper.
Your lovely flower hamper is ready!
