Gift Basket

By Dennis Frank

The gift basket such a smart idea! What could be better than a basket full of gifts? From the moment the first one was created, the idea took right off. Today, without much effort, its possible to find a gift basket for every occasion and for every theme imaginable.

A gift basket makes a great gift for several reasons. Topping the list is the fact that they are available in a wide range of prices so budget is never a consideration. Theyre also the perfect gift idea for those who dont have the luxury of being able to shop around. They come ready-made so all you need to do is deliver your special package. And speaking of delivery, many outlets that sell gift baskets can also ship them for you right to the lucky recipient, on time for the special occasion, for a nominal charge. Thats really convenient.

And unlike a gift card, which is really nothing more than a wad of money dressed up in a costume, a gift basket actually contains real gifts! Theyre no longer just baskets full of specialty foods, although such baskets are still very popular. Todays baskets overflow with useful items including everything from beach gear, car accessories, camping supplies, baby goods, sports memorabilia and everybodys favorite, chocolates.

When you know what a person likes, shopping for a gift basket is easy. Its one gift that truly is personal and that can easily be personalized. If you do have time to shop around and you do have a bit of decorative flair, you can even design one yourself.

You need an appropriate-sized basket, some rolled up newspaper to fill up the bottom, some material to cover up the newspaper, and then you need the gifts. When you select items for your gift basket, try to choose a variety of shapes and sizes. That way, youll be able to create a nice-looking arrangement. Enclose your gift basket in some clear or colored plastic wrap, tie them off with some ribbon and some bows, and youre done!
