As we settle into summer, people are opening their doors and welcoming guests — be it a neighborhood social, family visiting for the weekend, or a day spent poolside with friends. No matter the occasion, we wanted to share three summer gift baskets that are the best of all worlds. Easy to put together, thoughtful, budget friendly, and beautiful! Keep scrolling for lots of inspiration (and links to make your own!), as well as a FREE printable gift tag you can attach to any summer gift basket for any occasion. Think hostess, welcome to the neighborhood, birthday gifts and beyond!

Pool Party Gift Basket

We love this gift bag because not only is it a breeze to assemble (and you can find most of these items, or similar ones, at Target), but it just screams ‘summer’! It’s so simple to color coordinate everything, from the beach towels to drink tumblers, magazine, rattan fan, and the popular Bogg tote. This would be a perfect gift basket to give someone hosting a pool party, or for anyone hosting you at their beach or lake house!

Limoncello Cocktail Gift Basket

New neighbors? Backyard BBQ? Family reunion? Look no further for the perfect gift than this darling summertime limoncello gift basket! With just a few simple items — lemons, sparkling water, margarita mix, vodka, and a few cocktail accessories — you have a curated and thoughtful gift for anyone who loves to entertain. This acrylic ice bucket is one of my go-to hostess gifts and pulls everything together, and they can reuse time and again! 

Budget-Friendly Gift Basket

This darling DIY gift basket is perfect for friends visiting from out of town or a thinking of you gift! It’s filled with practical items you can grab at the dollar store — flip flops, sunscreen, beach towel, water, and more — and everything you see is under $20. You don’t have to spend an arm and a leg to curate a beautiful gift basket!
