How to Choose the Perfect Gourmet Basket


A gift basket is just about perfect for any occasion. In a corporate environment, you want to make a positive impression and stand out from the crowd: a gourmet basket may be the solution.

People have become more adventurous with food, and the standard gift basket has become outdated, and to make yourself stand out you need to select an unusual gift basket, something different, or a style of food they have never eaten before, but be sure to know that it is going to be delicious.

A sure fire hit is an Italian gift basket. In Italy, food is a way of life and the baskets reflect this. Rich cheeses, flavorful meats, Pancetta, fresh pastas and sauces, fresh olive oil, parmesan crackers and red wines. This Italian treat will get the taste buds somersaulting and make a lasting impression.

If you are giving a gourmet basket, give one that comes in a container that they can reuse. Cheap throwaway boxes go straight into the trash, but a basket that comes in a brass bowl, keepsake colander or a quality picnic hamper will be kept, used and remind the recipient of you for years to come!

You want to make sure that your gourmet basket is full of all quality items and not fillers. Some lesser quality baskets will actually use foam to give the appearance of a full basket. This gives the impression that you are cheap and no one wants to wear that hat.

When you buy gourmet, you need fresh ingredients that are freshly packaged. This is why you need to buy a basket that has been assembled in the same country and can be shipped the same day. This is especially important with fruit baskets. All quality basket companies offer same day shipping and this guarantees you have a fresh basket that is going to make someone very happy.
