Holiday gift baskets for teachers, coaches, bus drivers, mail carriers, and others can add up fast, especially if you’re buying for more than one person. Even modest gifts start to feel expensive once December hits.
This basket keeps things simple and budget-friendly. It starts with a matching Dove holiday set from Target , then adds a few practical fillers. Right now, there’s a Target app coupon that helps bring the cost down even more, which makes this an easy gift to make for multiple people without overspending. And if you have a Circle Card, you'll save an extra 5% on top of the advertised sale price.
What’s in My Holiday Gift Basket
Instead of building a basket around random small items, I started with a coordinated self-care set that already looks gift-ready. These Dove limited-edition holiday products feel festive and useful, which makes them a solid foundation for this gift. Plus, there are $2 Target app coupons, making the basket even lower in cost. Then I added fun items that feel thoughtful without breaking the bank.

Quick Tips for Saving on Holiday Gift Baskets
-
Check Target Circle offers and app coupons before shopping for personal care items.
-
Start with one gift-ready item, then use smaller fillers to make the basket feel full.
-
Buy multipacks of candy or pens and split them across several baskets.
-
Use something functional as the container, like a tumbler or a woven basket, instead of buying extra packaging.
-
Fill in with seasonal items like candy, hand wipes, or small candles to make it feel festive.
