subject: The Basic Steps To Creating The Perfect Gourmet Gift Basket [print this page] The first time I received an invitation to a dinner party, I wondered whether or not to bring a gift.

My unique, gourmet gift basket would be filled with delicious gourmet snacks and would show case a simple but elegant flare. Before deciding what snacks to fill the gift basket with, I decided to create a basic list. The list should include the following: cheese, crackers and an aromatic wine of his or her choice. I would let my creative fengshui run free and be the next Pablo Picasso of gourmet gift baskets.
Designing the perfect gift basket may be a difficult task. Try to choose something that will not only show your appreciation, but also allow you to be creative. You can choose a premade gift set or piece together the different items on your list. If your goal is to spoil the hostess try adding enticing gourmet snacks.
