The (Short) History of the Gift Basket

The idea of presenting gifts in a basket has been around for a long time.  Historically, collected items were placed in baskets to offer family, friends, and neighbors cherished food items like fruits, breads, and nuts.  Gift baskets are the perfect gift that can be customized to suit any occasion. 

Offering gift baskets to consumers started in New York City, in the mid-1900s, just like much of the latest trends that swept across this country.  It was first mentioned in various publications like Woman’s Home Journal, House Beautiful, and the New Yorker.  The idea was to gather baby gift items and place them in a basket for the perfect gift, thus creating the baby gift basket.  Manufacturers began advertising gift basket sets that included their items and the prices ranged from $ 1.50 up to $ 25.00. 

Now, gift baskets have become an art, the ultimate goal to create the perfect gift.  The thought and effort put into a gift basket and the elegance overshadows the actual number on the price tag.  With a gift basket, you can make a compassionate gesture to a family member, friend, or colleague without doing any extra shopping for several thoughtful gift items, which makes gift baskets unique and convenient.

Sometimes the best ideas for presents are the most understated ones.  No matter the occasion, be it birthday or holiday, gift baskets are one of the best presents out there.  A gift basket can be customized or prearranged to fit the recipient’s personality.  As a gift idea itself, gift baskets themselves have a flair of personality in their own right.  Show your love and affection for a friend or a family member with a beautifully assembled gift basket; you won’t regret it.


Sweet and Savory

ssegb.jpgWhen I’m giving a gift I want it to be special, I don’t want it to be thrown down in the bottom of the closet and never used.

I like to give something that the recipient would like but feel that even thought they would love to have it,  have other things to buy of higher priority or just plain don’t have time to go out and get.  Then there are the gifts that you feel as if you just don’t really buy for yourself but wish someone would send you.

That’s why I love giving gourmet gift baskets.  Gift baskets are filled with many different items.  The items are geared towards the receiver and are often delictables that pamper and ’spoil’ the receiver, giving him or her a special treat.

 Doesn’t everyone like to feel special?  The next time you are stuck at what to give think gourmet gift basket, a hit every time.   


Gourmet Gift Baskets, always a hit

gourmet-gift-baskets.gifI was tired after a full 6 weeks of preparing for a gala opening of a new store for one of our clients and needed to add our name to the persons sending their congratulations for the big night.  I just knew that a gourmet gift basket would do the trick. 

 Why?  It looks great, beautifully decorated, colorful and exciting, chic and classy and the small party that stay behind after the crowd has gone can sit back and relax and savor the gourmet treats it contains.  

That’s exactly what happened, after the crowd had cleared and a small party of us was left, did we have a great time savouring the success.

Gift baskets, always a hit.
