Are Gift Baskets the "Right" Gift?

The clear answer to the question is YES!  But, of course, you would expect to find that answer here, wouldn't you?

   Take a look around.  We have gift baskets and other gifts for almost every budget and occasion.  Choose a

• Wine basket
• Balloon bouquet
• Baby basket
• Flower basket
• Dessert or other sweet
• Cookie bouquet
• Corporate gift basket
• Fruit gift basket
• Rose arrangement
• Plant arrangement

I really do believe that, if you choose the right gift basket, it will be the perfect gift for almost anyone. 

How do you choose the right gift basket?

Simply give a little thought to understanding your recipient: 

Understanding Your Gift Basket Recipient      

• What kinds of gift baskets should you consider for children?  Most kids love sweets (in moderation?) and balloons.  My son loved gourmet food, even when he was four years old.  But I suspect that he was an exception.

• New parents enjoy gifts for the new baby OR something that will save them time, such as pre-made gourmet meals.  Our baby gift baskets make an ideal choice--beautiful and functional.

• Recent "empty-nesters" may want to bring something new into their homes.  Plant gifts may fit the bill perfectly.  Perhaps a wine gift basket would help them celebrate their new freedom.

• Older friends and loved ones are often trying to scale back.  They often already have everything that they want.  What will they do with another knick-knack?  Probably keep it in an overcrowded closet, unless they know you're coming to visit, when they'll pull it out.  A fruit gift basket or unique gourmet food gift is often perfect.  They can enjoy it, but it won't take up any space, later.

• Teens?  If you're shopping for most teens, I don't recommend a gift basket--at least not by itself!  I do recommend a gift certificate to some place like Amazon.com, which sells practically everything.  Or you might choose an online music or game download site for the gift certificate.   But certificates aren't very festive.  Why not present it with a cookie bouquet or a unique gift basket?
