What You Need for a Cozy Christmas Burr Basket
1 large red basket • 1 cozy blanket • 1 trendy tumbler • a couple of beauty items • fuzzy socks • candle + cocoa treats
Layer everything together and your gift looks like a cozy Christmas hug in basket form.
1. Red Rope Woven Basket (The Burr Basket Base)
Soft, flexible, and deep enough to “wrap” all your cozy items together.
Start with a red rope woven basket as your base. The flexible sides make it easy to tuck a blanket, tumbler, and small accessories inside while still looking full and structured. A red basket also instantly sets the Christmas color palette.
2. Cozy Red Fleece Throw Blanket
The snuggly layer that makes the whole basket feel like a hug.
Fold a red fleece throw blanket into the bottom of the basket, letting a corner spill over the front edge. This is what gives the “burr basket” look — it makes everything appear fuller, more luxurious, and extra cozy.
3. Christmas Red 40 oz Tumbler with Handle
A trendy, everyday tumbler that makes the basket feel modern and useful.
A large red tumbler with handle is a perfect “hero” item in the basket. Place it toward the back so it stands up tall and gives some height. It’s practical, cute, and a category that tends to convert really well from gift guides.
4. Red Satin Heatless Curling Set
A TikTok-loved beauty item in the perfect holiday color.
Heatless curlers are a huge trend and make such a fun add-in for a Christmas basket. Choose a red satin heatless curling set to tie in with the color theme and tuck it near the tumbler or blanket so the satin texture peeks out.
5. Hydrating Red-Tint Lip Oil
Glossy, hydrating, and perfect for a little holiday glam.
A lip oil with a soft red tint is small but mighty in a burr basket. It’s something she’ll actually use, fits the color story, and feels more special than a regular lip balm. You can tuck it into the front or place it inside the tumbler as a surprise.
6. Candy Cane Fuzzy Christmas Socks
An easy win: soft, comfy, and very on-theme.
A pair of red and white fuzzy socks is basically required in a cozy basket. Roll them up and place them near the front, or stand them upright so the candy cane stripes show. They also double as a cute stocking stuffer if you want to break the set apart.
7. Red Velvet Scrunchies
Small, pretty fillers that make the basket feel abundant.
A set of red velvet scrunchies adds texture and gives you a few smaller items to tuck in empty spots. Stack them on the tumbler, hang one on the basket handle, or lay them on top of the blanket for a little pop of color.
8. Apple Cinnamon Holiday Candle
Because cozy isn’t complete without a Christmas-y scent.
A red holiday candle adds that cozy Christmas smell to the basket. Nestle it near the front or side so the red jar is visible. It’s an easy way to bring in the warm, spicy holiday vibe without taking up too much space.
9. Hot Chocolate Bomb
A fun, cozy treat that feels a little extra special.
Add a hot chocolate bomb as a sweet centerpiece or tuck it next to the candle. It ties in perfectly with the cozy theme and makes the basket feel more interactive and fun — especially for teens or anyone who loves a winter movie night.
10. Peppermint Hot Cocoa Stir Spoons
The cutest finishing touch for the front of the basket.
To finish the look, add a pack of peppermint hot cocoa stir spoons. You can slide them into the tumbler, fan them out at the front of the basket, or tie them with a ribbon around the handle. They’re tiny, affordable, and very photogenic.
How to Assemble Your Red Cozy Christmas Burr Basket
- Line the basket with the blanket. Fold the red throw and place it inside the basket, letting one corner drape over the front edge.
- Add height with the tumbler. Stand the red tumbler toward the back so it peeks over everything else.
- Tuck in the bigger items. Add the heatless curlers and candle next, placing them where they can still be seen.
- Fill gaps with smaller goodies. Slide in the fuzzy socks, scrunchies, and lip oil wherever you see empty spots.
- Finish with treats. Add the hot chocolate bomb and stir spoons last so they sit right on top or near the front.
- Optional: add a bow. Tie a red satin ribbon around the basket handle or front for that final Pinterest-perfect touch.
