What is a brr basket?

A “Brr Basket” is a cozy-themed gift basket designed for people who are always cold—especially during the chilly “-ber” months (September to December). It typically includes warm and comforting items like fuzzy socks, blankets, hot cocoa mix, tea, candles, hand warmers, and other cold-weather essentials. Perfect as a thoughtful gift or self-care treat, the Brr Basket is all about warmth, comfort, and seasonal coziness.

The first step to compiling a “ber basket” is to find a basket or container big enough for your cozy items—check thrift stores or repurpose one from home. I recommend this stylish option that doubles as storage for blankets, pillows, or pet toys.

Want to create your own Brrr Basket? Here are some items for inspiration!

Many of the items I purchased are OOS, but the throw blanket is bigger than mine pictured and Walmart throw pillows are always a hit! Feel free to mix and match, and customize for your giftee!

Now it’s time to compile your cold-weather gift basket!

There is no wrong or right way to compile this gift, but consider placing the blanket and pillow inside first and then layer the remaining items on top. This will help create an aesthetic appearance as the smaller items will be towards the front. You can finish the basket with a bow if you’d like… and that’s it. Easy peasy!

It’s worth noting that a Burr basket is not just a holiday gift!

Consider utilizing this fun idea to create one for a birthday gift, a housewarming gift, or maybe even a get-well-soon gift especially during the upcoming –ber months! You can completely customize all the little gifts inside and really make someone’s day! My mom sent me something similar to this when I was in college once, and I just thought it was incredibly thoughtful.
