Christmas is round the corner and people are seen
shopping everywhere. There are attractive deals and special offers in stores. People
all over, men, women, couples, teenagers all have one thing in common – they are
busy shopping for Christmas.
This is the season women love to decorate their
homes with new furnishing and decor items. Men ponder of different types of liqueurs
and the special guest lists for that special Christmas party. Children are all
excited about Santa’s gifts and teenagers and couples are always in a state of
anxiety as there is never enough money to buy all they wish for their
sweethearts.
You receive an invitation to a Christmas party
and immediately start thinking about an ideal gift that would delight your
friend(s) and be useful for them too.
What is better than gifting your friend or loved
one with goodies the person likes? Instead of buying a present this Christmas,
consider a gift basket with small gifts and things that you know they would like.
A gift basket could contain any or all of the
following:
Cookies: You could get a large basket and fill it with
cookies and crunches that are just about everybody’s favorite. Think about the
recipient. If your friends are crazy about cheese and crackers, you could get a
variety of them; arrange them in a basket with attractive decorations.
Sweets: For friends with a sweet tooth, you could think
of loading the basket with chocolate-coated nougats, caramel bags, milk
chocolate bars, chocolate biscuits, and caramel toffees. Puddings and pastries
also go well with this type of a gift basket.
Winter
Treats: Your basket can be
loaded with wintry treats. These include hot cocoa,
soup mixes, handcrafted caramel popcorn and ginger tea. These are most ideal
for friends who are in their forties and fifties.
Candles
and Accessories: A gift
basket full of candles of different shapes and sizes would delight your mom or grand
mom a great deal. You could choose from the long ones to the round ones, from
the ovals to the squares, the scented and the non-scented varieties.
Wines: A basket with an array of premium wines created
with the individual’s tastes in mind is perhaps the most popular of all gifts
during Christmas. Celebrations are incomplete without toasts and what better
than wine for the toasts. The fruity flavors are very popular and a big hit
among most people.
You could also go for a combination of goodies
that could be a mixture of each of these. Cheese, crackers and wine go well
together, soups and custards can make a good combination, chocolates and wafers
also go well together. The list is endless!
The secret of a good gift basket is in being a
little innovative. Try something new and you will be remembered for a long time
to come.
