Gift Baskets for the Holiday Season

Gift Baskets for the Holiday Season

Guest Post:

With Christmas right around the corner you are probably beginning to think about gift ideas. And just like every other year, there will likely be at least one or two baby boomers on your list that are ‘hard to buy for’. All of us deal with this dilemma. We feel that there is nothing these individuals need that they don’t already have. However, a thoughtful gift basket can be a perfect gift for just about anyone – even hard to buy for boomers.IMG_2039

A Gift Basket for Everyone on Your List

In days gone by the mention of gift baskets conjured up thoughts only of fruit baskets. There’s a good reason fruit baskets are so popular, after all, fruit is delicious, it’s beautiful, and it’s a healthy food option. And nowadays even fruit baskets have a new twist. Proflowers sells fruit baskets in various sizes and with a wide range of contents. You can choose from those filled with nothing but high quality fruit or baskets that contain fruit along with things like nuts and cookies and other treats.

Fruit baskets are just one of countless types of gift baskets available. For instance, spa gift baskets are an excellent gift choice for women of all ages. These baskets can include items like scented candles, potpourri, and luxury bath oils and other bath products. Some gift baskets are designed especially for those that like to cook.

You’ll find everything from baskets filled with useful items for grilling to baskets for those that enjoy preparing Italian dishes. Other ready-made gift baskets are filled with wine and cheeses and some are created for the purpose of celebrating baby’s first Christmas.

Creating Your Own Baskets

If you are crafty you may want to create your own gift baskets. The idea is to be creative in every way. Begin with what the recipient likes or has an interest in. For instance, you may know someone that likes to sew. In this case a sewing basket can be used to hold the things you want to give. All you have to do is fill the basket with sewing related items.

For someone that loves coffee or tea you can purchase a pretty basket and add a great coffee or tea cup and some packets of gourmet coffee. Add a few special treats and use a holiday bow to tie the whole thing up in red or green cellophane and you will have a gorgeous gift that you will be proud to give.

Use a similar concept in creating gift baskets for everyone on your list. Whether you purchase gift baskets or make your own, as long as you know something the recipient likes or is interested in you can give a gift that is personalized and therefore, it will be appreciated.
