    Do you have a significant other who's notoriously hard to buy gifts for? This 5 senses gift idea made with Cricut Joy is a fun and romantic way to create a special gift box for that special someone. Here's one I've made for my husband, and I hope it gives you ideas on how you could put one together for a loved one, too!

    Make a heartfelt gift basket for a significant other featuring items that they can see, smell, taste, touch and hear. Here's an idea of what to include, and how to make gift tags & personalization with Cricut Joy.

    This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cricut. All opinions are 100% mine.

    What is a 5 senses gift?

    A five senses gift is a gift basket or collection of wrapped gifts that include items that use each of the 5 senses. There will be an item to smell, one to taste, one to touch, one to see and one to hear. You can include a variety of different items in the gift that are personal to your recipient.

    How to make a 5 senses gift

    There are many creative ways to put together one of these gift collections, but today I'm sharing how I made one with my Cricut Joy that's for my husband. It's a 5 senses gift for him that's easy to make and something that he'll enjoy. Sean can be tricky to buy for, but I know he'll appreciate all of these items and the way I've packaged them.

    (You can learn about why I love my Cricut Joy so much right here.)

    To make this 5 senses gift box:

    You'll need:

    • a large basket or box
    • taste gift (chocolates, candies, a drink mix etc.)
    • smell gift (candle, aftershave, body spray etc.)
    • touch gift (soft gloves, hand warmers, blanket etc.)
    • hear gift (earbuds, music streaming subscription etc.)
    • see gift (greeting card, love note, movie tickets etc.)
    • Cricut Joy
    • Smart Iron-On
    • Cricut Joy Card Mat
    • Joy Insert Cards
    • Extra Fine Point Pens
    • Standard Grip Mat
    • white cardstock
    • thin ribbon
    • tissue paper

    Make a heartfelt gift basket for a significant other featuring items that they can see, smell, taste, touch and hear. Here's an idea of what to include, and how to make gift tags & personalization with Cricut Joy.

    First, use this Cricut Design Space project file I made to create the five senses gift tags with your Cricut Joy. I used an Extra Fine Point black pen for the writing on the tags, and plain white cardstock for the tags. I love that I can use my Joy to both write and cut out these cute tags!

    Next, use this greeting card Design Space project file to create a beautiful insert card using the Cricut Joy, Card Mat, and insert card of your choice. I cut mine on a navy blue coloured card. For the insert, I had a scrap piece of glitter iron-on material that I had mis-cut earlier so I used that for some sparkle!

    Finally, use your Joy and some scrap pieces of Smart Iron-On material to create small monograms. Iron them on to one of the items in the gift box. For this gift, I chose to add my husband's initials to these gloves for a personal touch.

    Assembling the 5 senses gift basket

    To put together your 5 senses gift basket, fill the bottom of a box or basket with tissue paper. Tie a piece of thin ribbon through each of the gift tags you created, and tie each one around each item in the gift.

    You can explain the gift in a card that you include, or attach a personal note with the meaning of each item. This makes a fantastic gift for the Holidays, for a birthday, or for Valentine's Day.  

    I absolutely love how this five senses gift for my husband turned out, and I can't wait to give it to him this Christmas!
