subject: Why Give A Gift Basket [print this page] Show me someone who doesn't like a gift basket, and I'll show you someone that doesn't like fun. Gift baskets make the perfect present for an endless number of occasions. Do you have a neighbor that just moved in next door? Get them a gift basket to welcome them into the neighborhood. Did someone close to you recently have a baby? Get them an "It's a boy/girl" gift basket to welcome the new soul into the world.
It is easy to get creative and imaginative when building a gift basket. Here are some other fun ideas for gift baskets:
Animal lovers can share their gift basket with their pets. Include treats for both the human and the dog or cat, perhaps milk chocolate for you and a Milk-Bone for the dog.
Spiritual minds will smile if they receive a gift basket with messages of inspiration and biblical psalms written on pieces of paper throughout.
Need a gift for a doctor or nurse? A gift basket with a teddy bear dressed in a doctor or nurse uniform, complete with a stethoscope and a tongue depressor will give the recipient a laugh.
For golf enthusiasts, make a gift basket that contains golf balls made of chocolate and use pretzels as golf clubs.
Do you know a police officer or fireman who is in need of a smile? Some cookies and a toy fire truck or police cruiser will cheer them up.
Is there a special person in your life who likes to gamble that often finds him or herself in Las Vegas or Atlantic City? Get them a gift basket featuring dice, decks of playing cards, and chocolate gold coins.
Gift baskets can make the perfect present in the business world. If you want to give one to a client, be sure to find out their hobbies and interests, but steer away from religious themes and other subjects that may be offensive.
Funny gift baskets will surely force a smile upon any recipient's face. As a rule of thumb, however, always remember to be mindful of the person you will be giving the present to. A wrong item in a gift basket may offend the person and ruin the whole purpose of the gift.
