Make These DIY Tumbler Gift Basket Ideas for Any Occasion

DIY Tumbler Gift basket ideas – five tumblers lined up with items inside

Looking for an easy and thoughtful gift?

Consider gifting items inside a beverage tumbler for a practical and creative DIY mini gift basket! The best part is you can customize the items inside each tumbler to create a really personalized gift. These can be small items that fit inside the cups and even gift cards if desired.

This idea can work for any holiday or occasion. These gifts are appropriate for Christmas, birthdays, teachers, neighbors, hostess gifts, etc.

Who wouldn’t love to receive a quality tumbler!?

Our Hip2save team loves these Ozark Trail brand tumblers from Walmart! They’re high quality, inexpensive, and keep drinks cold (or warm) for HOURS! In fact, I once tested my much more expensive YETI vs Ozark Trail tumbler in THIS previous post, and the Ozark performed just as well!

These Tumblers ROCK!

You can choose a larger 30 oz. size tumbler or a smaller 20 oz. tumbler, and both are perfect for hot coffee and drinks.

Today I’m sharing five EASY ideas/themes to inspire gift giving using tumblers! 🎁


1. For the Unicorn Lover

Unicorns are still super popular right now! I love this idea of filling a tumbler with small unicorn related goodies, readily available at lots of retailers at different price points. This can be fun for a tween or anyone who enjoys unicorns! Please note, while these cute items in the images shown can be found in-store only at Walmart, you can shop for similar items online at various retailers.

2. For the Coffee Lover

Coffee is LIFE! ☕️ Fill a tumbler with k-cups, coffee creamers, mini flavored syrups, or anything else to feed a coffee obsession! I even threw in a little milk frother to make the perfect DIY latte!

5. For the Hot Chocolate Fan

A hot chocolate themed tumbler would be a perfect smaller dollar gift item during the holidays. Just pick up a 20 oz. tumbler and fill it with fun items to make hot chocolate! It’d be fun to throw in some Christmas related chocolates and candies, too. All of these goodies are actually from Dollar Tree, so you don’t have to spend a lot!

In this tumbler:

  • hot chocolate packets
  • small bag of marshmallows
  • peppermint candy-cane sticks

Wrap up your tumbler gift!

I wrapped my tumblers with all the goodies inside using clear cellophane wrap. It adds such a nice looking presentation! Tie the top with ribbon, secure a gift tag, and your gift is ready to go!
