Gift Baskets

When there is a large group that needs to be thanked, gift baskets can be the most successful way of doing it. They typically have plenty of fresh fruit such as bananas, apples, oranges, avocados, grapes, mango, papaya, strawberries and pineapples. Since the fruit is perishable these baskets are often hand delivered the same day that they were arranged into the basket.

Gift baskets usually contain dry foods, canned foods, and bottled drinks as well. These can be chocolate, bread, coffee, crackers, jam, honey, champagne, wine, liquor, nuts or anything else. Most have a combination of many items that complement each other, such as cheese and crackers with wine and fresh berries. A gourmet basket often has unusual or rare and expensive items that are difficult to find.

Gift baskets can also contain items that are not edible. A popular addition is a stuffed animal that is related to the theme of the basket or holiday. Cash is always a great present to include, but flowers and plants are much more common. Many companies give away baskets filled with promotional items such as hats and t-shirts or other similar branded items.
