Depending on what kind of stuff she likes, you can tailor stuff to that. If she works out, you can get a lettered or embroidered gym bag (those small ones that look like backpacks). If she's a reader, a tote bag. Anything that she can use on a regular basis for school (I like the bulletin board idea!) or play (embroidered baseball hat). Satin pillowcases or sleep masks in your colors or that have your letters are nice gifts (I love my satin pillowcase, it keeps my hair from snarling).
If she's into jewelry, decorate a wooden box (get them at Michaels) with paint, colored rocks, etc., or you can make a beaded bracelet (Michaels teaches you how to do this or go to a bead store where they let you use tools for free). Get some nail polish in your colors (if they're bright, she can do her toes!). If you are literally talking about a basket, get some of her favorite candy (or candy in your colors) and toss it around the other stuff to color it up. Get a flower or two, tie a ribbon around it, and stick it in there as well (she can dry it upside down for decoration if she's into that).
I think that what makes it special is that you took the time to think about HER. It doesn't have to be expensive and you don't have to spend hours and hours on it. Just make it special to her.
