What are the Best Gift Basket Occasions? It won’t surprise you to hear that I believe that gift baskets or flowers are ideal for every gift giving occasion.
Obviously, you enjoy giving on the usual occasions.
- Christmas
- Chanakuh
- Birthday
- New Year
- Easter
- Anniversary
- Wedding
There are some times, though, that you may overlook:
Any three day weekend holiday. Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, etc.: If someone you know has invited you to a barbeque, why not send them a selection of appetizers? Or…a decorative bouquet or plant? Memorial Day. Remember the recent passing of a friend’s loved one by sending a gift basket. Or you may want to send a nice flower arrangement to the departed’s church. (See all of our Flowers and Plants.)
Funeral. Most families are overwhelmed by flowers and other memorial gifts. Why not send them a gourmet gift basket a week or two later?
Retirement. Let the boss provide the gold watch or the clock that has to be dusted. Provide some party food, and maybe they’ll invite you to come share it. Or order some for yourself and help them celebrate at your home.
Housewarming. A new plant is ideal for someone who has recently moved, including someone who has moved into an assisted living environment and may be a little discouraged about it. (Actually, when I move there, I would prefer a food gift basket!)
Welcome back from the honeymoon. Some couples experience a bit of a letdown after the honeymoon. Turn it into a happy time by sending them some prepared gourmet meals. Check out our many meal options at HomeBistro.com.
Cabin fever. Fight the foul mood that some friends feel every winter. Send them some sunshine in the form of bright yellow flowers…just “for the heck of it!” Or help them ignore the weather with a gourmet wine basket. For some truly fine wine gift baskets Click here.
An unexpected act of kindness may be just the thing to brighten someone’s day. Maybe even yours!
