Baskets of food-from smoked salmon to strawberry preserves


Do you want to give gourmet food baskets for your family, friends or even your customers business? There has never been a time when it was so easy to find gourmet food baskets in a variety of choices in every price range. With the internet, you have literally thousands of gift choices. You can even get a little overwhelmed with all the choices-should get flavored oils and pasta basket or Breakfast Basket with homemade scones? Choosing food baskets just takes a little research--but the choices are definitely out there.

When you select gourmet food baskets you need to think carefully the recipient or recipients. You are giving the basket of a child who is just learning to cook? Do you want to give a basket that has everything ready to eat foods, or want to send a basket that requires some kitchen? Are giving as a shower gift or recognition for a job well done? It is very important that you research them carefully lest you make a social gaffe or corporate giving inadequate food baskets (e.g. give flesh to a vegetarian). You can find food baskets with everything from homemade or hand-dipped chocolates flavored popcorn, cheese, smoked seafood. It's also fun to find baskets that include kitchen tools and gadgets, as well as a recipe book thrown in.

Baskets of food can be given as an offering of one-off or can be given on a regular basis (as a club "basket of the month"). The monthly baskets (or bi-monthly or quarterly) may seem a bit expensive, but when split over time, not so expensive. These types of gifts are usually more appropriate for family and friends rather than a business partner or client.

Choose the company that sells the food basket is almost as important as the contents of the baskets. Your reputation may depend on the quality of the basket, so choose carefully and look around.
