Show you care, by putting thought into creating personalized gourmet food baskets when next you have to find the perfect gift. It is very different from the run of the mill presents often received and is a thoughtful, caring gift.
There are also many florists and caterers that provide a service to pack a basket for you if you forgot that important birthday or anniversary! Your basket can be tailor-made to fit your budget, making it a versatile gift.
Build the perfect basket:
Pick your basket
Gourmet baskets do not have to be baskets, although a beautifully plaited bamboo or cane basket certainly adds to the charm. Simple boxes covered with interesting wrapping paper or cellophane, stacked and tied with ribbons, also make a lovely alternative.
Choose and stack variously sized boxes, cover them and pack gourmet food inside them for a surprising lucky packet.
Your choice of product to go into the basket will depend on the size of your container. Choose products of various sizes and different heights to create an appealing contrast.
Themes
If you wished, you could choose to go with a theme: regional, based on the type of products used in the basket, the interests of the recipient, the occasion, even the colors used in the collection and decoration of the gift.
Regional themes are endlessly delicious. A French basket could contain pastries, French wines, cheeses, preserves, patees and mustards.
Know someone who enjoys cooking? Build a basket with spices, interesting flour mixes, olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and they will love it. Coffee and chocolate is another delicious theme!
Theme options are limited only by your creativity, and the person the gift is meant for!
Final touches
Make sure that your basket stays the way you want it to look by using double-sided mirror tape and shrink-wrap to keep your products exactly where you want them.
Packaging material will add a professional touch to your baskets. Peanuts or other nuts can be used as packaging to add a touch of whimsy. Wood shavings can look attractive, but ensure that your products are properly wrapped if you are going to use this option, as the wood may have been treated or fumigated before being sawed or shaved.
Finally, tie a bright and beautiful ribbon, raffia or even a scarf around the basket to finish your thoughtful gift.
