Giving great gift baskets
One of the things that I like about giving gift baskets is finding one that not only is full of goodies, but that the basket itself is adorable and reusable and relevant to the person who is receiving the gift. For example, one of the best holiday gift baskets I’ve ever seen is one that I’d like to give my youngest son – the gift basket itself looks like a drum, and he is a percussionist. Every Christmas I try to give him something that is related to drumming that is not pieces of a drum set itself, and it has been getting more difficult as time goes by to be creative in that way.
And for my hubby, who has a Harley Davidson Wide Glide, the cutest gift basket I’ve seen for him was when I was looking for gift baskets for men and found one that took shape in the form of an insulated ice chest that was big enough for a six pack stuffed with a teddy bear dressed in biker leathers, a picture frame that looked like a motorcycle with the wheels area cut out for two photos, and party snack mix along with other edible treats that he would love to eat!
With a little bit of thought about the recipient, it really isn’t all that hard to find and give a great gift basket that lets the recipient know that you didn’t just run down to the grocery store and buy a “generic fruit gift basket.” Gift baskets CAN be really nice gifts!
