What you need to pay attention to when choosing:
  • Make sure the person doesn't have any food allergies. Since many baskets come with nuts or cheese be sure read the labels and pick one that most reminds you of your friend.
  • You also have to think about food restrictions. Some people may be on a diet or their health requires a special diet and since many gift baskets have chocolate or muffins in them, it's best to choose a fruit gift hamper .
  • Different themes are a good way to spruce up the basket. People who are wine lovers would love a wine basket, others would enjoy a spa basket and for men a beer basket.
  • Generic baskets are boring and impersonal but even if you choose a simple one you can look for ways to add something you know the recipient would enjoy. For example, some people would love baskets with trinkets of their obsession like a Doctor Who keychain or little Stormtroopers standing guard.

  • Different baskets:
  • Spa baskets are great for people who like to pamper themselves.
