If you are looking for the perfect gift idea for any occasion, a gift
basket can fill a need at any time of the year and for any reason. It is
a way to say thank you or to give as a seasonal gift full of great food
or drink and other gifts full of love. They are easy to choose or you
can make your own. Baskets of all kinds are available to choose
from and so are the gifts to fill them.
Choosing gift baskets in the right style presents an elegant gift with a
gourmet touch. For quality choose a well made basket of fiber,
sturdy straw or wood to ensure the best material. They come in
natural colors of browns and tans, but baskets can be stained or
painted any color. The best choices are plain, white, blue or red. If
you want to give a black basket theme, then choose the filling
carefully for high quality presentation.
Start with a layer of high quality linen napkins for a food basket.
Layer them so points lay to the outside of the basket forming the
base for your filling. Choose a good bottle of wine and a fine
selection of good chocolates. Now add specialty crackers, cookies
and canned meats or cheeses. To this you will choose a very good
sterling silver cutting board or dish and a sterling silver knife for
slicing. Complete the look with two wine glasses and a cork screw.
Wrap it all in clear shrink wrap you can put on with the use of a hair
dryer. Your first basket is quality is complete.
Unique gift baskets in black are a wonderful way to use a black and
white color scheme, with a touch of another color added in for effect.
Choose a white linen table cover to begin this elegant dinner basket
for the newly wed or newly engaged couple. Add a tall glass jar of
good pasta noodles and a gourmet brand sauce. If the jar for the
sauce is clear, then red is going to be your accent color. Add two
black glass plates and two wine glasses, along with a bottle of good
red wine. Complete your basket with red, black and white candles.
You do not have to enclose this basket, because it looks best laid out
and open for easy access.
Holiday gift baskets can also be affordable gift baskets for anyone
on a budget or that would like to give something different and fun.
For a teenager you love choose a smaller basket that can be used
later to hold treasures. Create the gift beginning with a soft scarf or
tee shirt. Add a CD of their favorite artist and surprise them with a
gift card at the bottom and a few pieces of high quality jewelry. The
baskets do not have to be large if the gift is top rated and well made.
Gift baskets can be in themes of gardening, acting, art work,
hobbies, reading, romance, suspense and any other theme. Start with
the basket, add the first layer of soft material, than build the gift
from the center out or from back to front. They are a loving way to
be remembered and create a happy event.
