April seventh marks the anniversary of WHO (World Health
Organization) and is celebrated as the World Health Day. This day is only a
subtle reminder that we need to take control of our wellbeing and also of those
dear to us. Hence, if you have a birthday or an anniversary of a close one
coming up this month, consider gifting them a healthy gift basket!
You’re probably asking yourself “How do I come up with
something healthy?” Here are a few tips that might help:
Person’s Preferences:
Have they been diagnosed with a certain health problem? Are they struggling
with their weight? If so, then a standard cheese and meat basket may not be a
good idea. You can instead go for healthier options such as particular
selections of low sodium, gluten free, low sugar, vegan and organic.
Add Homemade Foods:
Baking or cooking for family or a friend allows more control over the kind of
ingredients used. One of the best ways to show your love too!
Add Variety to the Usual Fruits:
Everyone loves pears, apples, bananas and oranges, but this year, why not add
“exotics” such as persimmons, pomegranates, star fruit, cherimoya and rambutan
for new flavors. Add a few packets of nuts, a bottle of wine and dark chocolate
and you are sure to be remembered the whole year long!
Non-food Gift Basket:
There’s no rule that says gift baskets can only contain food. Non-food baskets
can be a lot of fun. Depending on what the person loves, there are a variety of
things out there. For instance, for the cooking enthusiast consider spoons,
spatulas, whisks, a dishtowel, a cookbook, an apron or other utensils/tools.
For a movie fanatic, try movie tickets, collectible CD’s, popcorn and the
like. For someone who likes to read gift a magazine subscription, novels, a
gift card to a local book store. Similarly, a gardener can be given seeds,
outdoor tools, gardener clogs, and the like.
Dried Fruits and Nuts: A
box full of dried nuts and fruits are extremely healthy and nutritious, perfect
for a group or family to share. The variety can include dried pears, peaches,
apricots, prunes, roasted almonds, pistachios, cashews, and the like.
Gluten-free Gift Basket: A
basket full of some of the best gluten free products is certainly a great way
to promote a healthier lifestyle. From chocolate chip cookies to snacks such as
baked potato sticks, apple crunch, brownie mix, red ruby popcorn, chicken
noodle soup, and the like, the receiver will be extremely grateful to receive
such a large variety of delicious, healthy foods!
Baby Gift Basket:
In case if your loved one has recently got a newborn, you can prefer gifting a baby
gift basket. You can add products such as organic toys, towels, natural
soaps, books, and the like. You can also add in healthy, gluten free, organic
snacks for the parents to enjoy.
Flowers: A
bouquet of bright flowers can certainly make anyone’s day and cheer
them up. Flowers are believed to uplift a person’s mood and elevate depression.
Hence, there can be nothing healthier than a bunch of beautiful roses, daisies,
or lily’s carefully arranged in a beautiful vase. These certainly make a great
gift for women.
There is an abundance of award-winning gourmet foods and
snacks that are low in calories and fat, but full of scrumptious flavor. Your
recipients can indulge without the guilt of consuming something unhealthy.
There are numerous gift basket makers in California
that can help you come up with the best basket for your loved one. The best way
to find out about such providers is through the internet.
