Even after deciding to give a gift basket to friends or family, deciding what gift basket can be a challenge. Theme gift baskets that include a fine wine could be a unique way to choose a gift that is a perfect fit. Whether the occasion is a birthday, anniversary, house warming, or even a wedding gift, choosing a gift that reflects a special interest and ties in with wine, the gift will be a delight.

The options for theme gift baskets with wine can be based on a place in Europe, the US, a pastime involving food and wine or any combination of these. The theme can even be the food and wine itself.

MAD HATTERS TEA PARTY AND COFFEE AND TEA GIFT BASKETS

Saturday, August 22, 2009 by Dale Coover

Mad Hatters Tea Party

Wouldn't it be fun to give your friends or clients a Mad Hatters Tea Party? This does sound like terrific fun! How would you go about doing this though? One idea that would work is giving them some coffee and tea gift baskets. This way you could show how you feel about them and give them some things to have a good time with too. That is the joy about specialty gift baskets.

You have probably looked around to see which kind or gift baskets you can find, and just aren't quite satisfied with the selections you have found so far. Have you looked online at your-giftbaskets.com yet? This site has many nice coffee and tea gift baskets along with other types of basket combos for gifts.

For your best friend, who loves her coffee so much you may think about the "Coffee Lover Gift" basket. This basket is filled with yummy Monica's almond cookies, butter toffee pretzels, Bellagio gourmet coffees, and some spoons that have been dipped in chocolate to stir the coffee with. All this is packed up with a beautiful plaque made on the theme of coffee and tow ceramic large mugs.
This really is a lovely collection of goodies!

Does your other close friend prefer tea to coffee? Then think about giving her the "Spring Tea Gift" collection. This combines yellow and white chocolate tulip lollipops with gourmet green tea, focaccia crisps, cappuccino chocolate sticks, a mini honey bear complete with dipper, Brent and Sam's lime cookies, and a mug all packed in a charming orange tin. This screams Spring, but would be perfect in the middle of winter too.

Maybe you want to give a more varied collection of teas, then try the "Tea Party" basket. This assortment of goodies includes some delectable vanilla tea, Justin Lloyd Earl Gray tea, biscotti, fresh honey, yummy peanut delight, and some delicious Petite De Fruit candies. Anyone who likes tea at all will love this assortment given to them.

TAKE A HIKE!! AND A THEME GIFT BASKET PART 2

Saturday, August 15, 2009 by Dale Coover

If you do want to splurge a little to make a special memory or celebrate something in particular with your hike and picnic—or if you just don’t feel like putting a picnic lunch together on your own, you can also purchase ready made meat and cheese gift baskets that look attractive and contain small sizes of lots of little goodies so you and your guest can sample lots of treats and focus on each other. You can buy unique gourmet gift baskets designed around themes, as well—like wine and cheese, chocolate and fruit, and others—if meat and cheese gift baskets aren’t really your thing.

Even big city residents can find a place to take a hike and a picnic nearby if they think outside the box. Why not take a “hike” up and down the hills in San Francisco and then have a picnic at the waterfront? Or take a “hike” to the top floor of a tall building in your city and then ride the elevator down and picnic in the building’s atrium or courtyard?

If you live in a high rise, how about hiking to the roof of your complex and enjoying the view along with a picnic lunch? Or even “hiking” out onto the terrace or fire escape? Try something different for a change! Remember, it’s really romantic in the movies, right? So give it a try.

And if you’re not a great cook, don’t worry about it. Meat and cheese gift baskets can make life easy. And unique gourmet gift baskets are an easy way to make a great impression without lifting a finger.

So what are you waiting for? Go take a hike! And don’t forget the picnic lunch.

Snack Gift Basket and Theme Gift Baskets Part 1

Healthy Attack Again!

Who doesn't love snacks? I don't think I want to know them, if you really want to impress somebody then send them a snack gift basket. Sure you could go out and buy some chips and find a nice bowl to put them in but that's been done before. A snack gift basket is arranged to let the person know who receives it that they are special and it’s a gift that you can be sure they will love.

Depending on the person you are buying for you can find a specialty gift basket that will make their eyes light up with joy. A snack gift basket makes a great gift too because you know its practical and when it shows up on the gift table it towers over the wrapped gifts and begs to be chosen first. The great thing about a snack gift basket is the theme, you can order one for the football fan or baseball nut, they have them for the movie goers and the griller.

UNIQUE GOURMET GIFT BASKETS - PART 2

Thursday, July 23, 2009 by Dale Coover

So let's return for a moment to your fantasy. In the blink of an eye, the two of you are lying on the blanket gazing lovingly into each others eyes. You bring out two wine glasses from a picnic basket behind the tree and open a bottle of Avalon Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from the Napa Cabernet Crush wine gift basket you picked out for the occasion. She holds the glasses while you pour and then you toast, "To you!" you say to her. And she falls in love with you all over again.

Before you know it, she has discovered the Ghirardelli Masterpiece chocolates in the basket and has one melting in her mouth. She is in heaven! Then she discovers the California pistachios. Such bliss.

You are totally happy, as well. You've got beef salami, California crisps crackers, and a Sonoma creamy jack cheese spread to satisfy the appetite you worked up riding and you've got the woman of your dreams sitting beside you. It doesn't get much more perfect than that.

Or does it? After a wonderful nap on the blanket wrapped in each others arms, you awake to find you still have an appetite for each other and then for some more food. You dip into the second gift basket to reveal even more surprises.


This time it's caviar, Pacific Northwest smoked salmon, and creamy jack cheese spread, and you serve her some of each with the cheese knife that came in the Chez Gourmet gift basket. And you do know your woman well, there are more California pistachios and Ghirardelli milk chocolate squares along with kettle fresh chocolate fudge, a rich delectable dessert for her, and peanut butter chocolate cookies, your personal dessert favorite.

As the sun begins to drop low in the sky, the only thing left to do is sigh a contented sigh and enjoy every single moment that's left of your day before you need to pack things up and take the horses back up to the barn. But this gourmet day is one that will never be forgotten.
Take a look at our unique gourmet gift baskets  and specialty snack baskets. Pick a theme gift basket , we know they will be warmly received.

UNIQUE GOURMET GIFT BASKETS - PART 1

Wednesday, July 22, 2009 by Dale Coover

A Gourmet Day!

You've got it all planned out perfectly. First, you'll take the horses out for a leisurely ride through the woods and down by the creek. There you'll lead them by hand to where the creek makes the bend by the big willow tree so they can drink fresh water and then tether them to a low branch on a smaller tree. And then you'll take her by the hand and lift the willow branches overhead so she can step into the magical wonderland beneath. She'll gasp when she sees the picnic blanket spread out and the two unique gourmet gift baskets beside the tree trunk. Turning back toward you, her eyes will glisten with tears of joy as she realizes you must have been cooking up this surprise for days or even weeks and here she thought you forgot about her special day.

Yes, you, too, can be the man of the hour (or day or year) when you put the power of unique gourmet gift baskets to work for you and your better half. Being romantic isn't a lot of work when you can grab a theme gift basket or two with everything you need already packed inside and arranged with an artistic touch. And no, just because they're called gift baskets doesn't necessarily make them all girly. There are plenty of theme gift baskets that focus on masculine sports themes, hunting, and fishing, too. But I digress. Right now, we're focusing on how great you are for creating a gourmet day away for the special woman in your life.

Happy Birthday! Great Gift Basket Ideas for Kids

Wednesday, July 15, 2009 by Dale Coover
If there’s one thing every kid loves to get when they celebrate their birthday, it’s a surprise! Kids of all ages absolutely love surprises. That’s why gift baskets make such great birthday gift ideas! They’re fun, exciting, colorful, and full of surprises. And kids like digging through them to discover all of the little gifts they contain.

Kid gift baskets combine all sorts of the other fun things kids love. Almost all birthday gift baskets for kids have a common element: candy. From Jelly Belly candies and gummy bears to lemon drops and licorice, delicious treats help satisfy a sweet tooth and add lots of colorful festivity to a gift basket.

Another great kid-friendly item to include in gift baskets for kids is a plush, stuffed animal. Teddy bears are a traditional favorite, but plush animals now come in almost every species imaginable—like lions, monkeys, hippos, dogs, and even owls—so you can treat your child to a soft, cuddly creature from the woods, the jungle, or the zoo.

Childhood activities are also a great addition to a gift basket. Kids love blowing bubbles and coloring, so bottles of bubbles, coloring or activity books, and crayons are always a fun thing to add.

A party in a basket is always a great idea, too. What makes a great birthday party for a kid? How about birthday hats, balloons, noise makers, horn blowers, Happy Birthday fortune cookies, disposable cameras, and birthday candles?

For older children, you may want to go with a themed gift basket. Teenagers and pre-teens may be a little too old for coloring books and crayons, but they definitely love movies. So consider amovie night gift basket. Start off with some Blockbuster gift cards and add all the fixings for a Friday night in front of the tube watching the latest releases or a classic flick. Classic Coke will cure the thirsties; M&Ms and licorice will satisfy the sweet tooth; and popcorn and Cracker Jacks will provide the salt and the crunch and the answer to the munchies.

You could even get a gift basket organized around an older kid’s favorite hobby or pastime—like shooting darts (with a bull’s-eye and dart package and some great snack items), fishing, hiking, racing (go with a checkered flag theme), baseball, football, golfing (don’t forget the golf balls and tees), hunting, or NASCAR.

Girls—regardless of their age—are always fond of chocolate, so a chocolate-themed gift basket is always a winner. And for older girls like teenagers, spa-type gift baskets filled with luxuries like bubble bath, lotions, massagers, eye masks, manicure and pedicure sets, candles, plush towels, Loofah slippers, scented sprays, and/or a plush terry cloth robe are a dream come true.

No matter how old—or young—the kid, a gift basket makes the perfect gift because it can be customized to that specific child and his or her interests. Filled with her favorite things, designed around a theme, or based on the child’s age, you can fit tons of small gifts and surprises in a gift basket—or another holder like a small cooler, a flower pot, a metal or plastic bucket, or a tote bag that fits with the theme—and make a huge impact.

Fruits and nuts, meats and cheeses, swirled lollipops, chocolate chip cookies, candy sticks, popcorn and candy bars, bottled water and soda, chocolates, truffles, and even kosher items like rugelach make great food gifts beautifully presented in a gift basket. Toys, treats, and hobby-themed gift baskets are also big hits.

Topped off with a bow or ribbon in a vibrant color and lovingly arranged to make a wonderful presentation, an assortment of items in a gift basket will be a big hit with all kids—no matter what their age—and a wonderful way to celebrate a very special, very Happy Birthday.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

Summer Treats – Yummy Gift Baskets!

Tuesday, July 14, 2009 by Dale Coover
Looking for a delicious summer treat—for a special occasion or no occasion at all? Consider specialty gift baskets! They make the perfect wedding, shower, birthday, anniversary, Father’s Day, housewarming, congratulations, or “just because” gift for anyone who likes food! Meat and cheese gift baskets—in addition to fruit and nut selections, gourmet and kosher food choices, chocolate themed baskets, and even coffee and tea collections—are sure to tempt your taste buds and give recipients an extra special treat.

You can even get them for yourself! What a great way to surprise your significant other, to kick off a picnic in the park, or to try delicious new easy-to-carry food choices as you travel together to your favorite vacation spot.

Meat and cheese gift baskets are substantial gifts that provide real sustenance. Featuring real Wisconsin cheeses like Monterey jack, medium cheddar, zesty cheddar, pepper cheese, sharp cheese, Swiss cheese, and hot Swiss cheese; original and garlic Wisconsin sausage, beef summer sausage, hot summer sausage, Bavarian summer sausage, and beef salami; cheese spreads like creamy jack cheese spread, hickory cheese spread, Merlot cheddar cheese spread, and tomato basil hoop cheese spread; and specialty crackers including wheat crackers, peppercorn crackers, water crackers, wheat wafers, and more, these gift baskets aren’t just a snack—they’re a complete meal.

Most meat and cheese gift baskets contain even more than sausage, cheese, and crackers, though. Often there are several courses packed into the wicker basket or other container they come artfully arranged in. Hearty selections and collections might include mustards (hot n’spicy, yellow, and/or grained), salsa, smoked salmon, caviar, pepper jelly, green or garlic stuffed olives, smoked pate, spiced almonds, snack mix, pistachios, veggie dip, pita chips, and Cabernet Sauvignon hoop cheese among dozens of other delicacies.

Other snack items like pretzels and pretzel nuggets, peanut butter pretzel nuggets, foccacia snacks, trail mix, tortilla chips, and mini Italian breadsticks are also frequently included.

But let’s not forget the sweet treats! Before dessert, enjoy gourmet coffees, English tea, or cocoa mix with biscotti, milk or dark chocolate sticks, chocolate dipped spoons, mocha almonds, or chocolate covered cherries, blueberries, cranberries, and apricots. Then for dessert there are decadent selections tucked into some of the meat and cheese gift baskets like chocolate cheesecake, cappuccino wafers, hazelnut wafers, chocolate chip shortbread, chocolate chip cookies, raspberry cookies, almond cookies, and milk chocolate pastilles. They’re enough to make your mouth water just thinking about them.

Delicious candies and chocolates including toffee, truffles, peanut brittle, fudge, old-fashioned salt water taffy, and/or Ghirardelli chocolates are other great additions.

Many of the meat and cheese gift baskets come packed in or with a wicker hamper or basket, a picnic basket, a cutting board and/or cheese knife, and/or coffee mugs. Could a gift or a special day get any easier? Gift baskets are quick and easy to order and have delivered, and they always make such an impressive presentation.

For your Jewish friends, family, acquaintances, or business associates, you can also opt for a kosher gift basket. Smoked salmon, salmon pate, la chevre fresh goats milk cheese with roasted garlic and parsley, baby gouda, crispy flat breads, marinated braided mozzarella cheese, fruit hamentashen, rugelach, apricots, prunes, and other kosher food choices create beautiful, thoughtful gifts.

The perfect accompaniment to any of these selections is one of the other specialty gift baskets like the fruit and nut baskets—with assortments of mixed or specialty nuts and delicious fresh fruits— grapefruit; navel oranges; green, red delicious, jonagold, or granny smith apples; pineapple; Asian, comice, bosc, concord, columbia d'anjou pears, or seckel pears; or dried apricots and prunes.

A wine gift basket would round out the occasion perfectly. Make it a French country picnic with a bottle of La Vielle Ferme Cotes du Ventoux Rouge wine, a fruity and spicy Rhone red blend with ample body. A gift basket containing the wine along with fig and walnut jam with goat cheese make a delicious appetizer and sets the mood for the rest of the meal. (This also makes a wonderful, romantic wedding or wedding shower gift—or the perfect gift basket to take on the honeymoon! Or send it to the couple who just announced their engagement or just moved into their first home.)

There are many other great wine selections for gift baskets, as well. For instance, Ironstone Cabernet Sauvignon, DeLoach Cabernet Sauvignon, L de Lyeth Cabernet Sauvignon, Tin Roof Cabernet Sauvignon, Tintara Shiraz 2005, Veramonte 2007 Sauvignon Blanc Reserva, Francis Ford Coppola Rosso, Francis Ford Coppola Bianco (Pinot Grigio), Stone Cellars by Beringer Merlot, Hanna 2007 Estate Sauvignon Blanc, Kenwood Russian River Pinot Noir, and Murphy-Goode Chardonnay are just a dozen of the fine wines that go beautifully with many dining selections and for many occasions and work wonderfully tucked into a gift basket with complimentary food items.

Regardless of the occasion—or for no occasion at all—beautiful gifts just don’t get much easier than when you give a gift basket. Well, except maybe for just writing a check. But then where is the personal touch in that? A gift basket has so much more character and charm. And it leaves a lasting impression in the eyes of everyone who sees it—and especially the gift recipients who get to enjoy the tasty summer treats.

Send Good Wishes With A Get Well Gift Basket

Monday, July 13, 2009 by Dale Coover
Whether it is a close friend, a family member, an acquaintance, a good client, or a business associate, when someone is ill, injured, or recovering from surgery, you want to do something to let them know you care. They’re probably already inundated with flowers and plants, so you want to send something different and unique—something that’s a little more practical or a little more personal.

Get well gift baskets are the perfect solution. You can get theme gift baskets to reflect that person’s special interests or hobbies—like golfing gift baskets for men or women, NASCAR racing gift baskets, football or baseball gift baskets, fishing or hunting gift baskets, hiking gift baskets, movie gift baskets, spa gift baskets, and gardening gift baskets. Filled with great items like Blockbuster gift cards, scented lotions, golf balls, plush terry towels, seeds, and gardening tools, gardening gloves, water cans, and other useful and practical gifts, these gift baskets are sure to outlast the recovery period and help get the recipient back into the regular swing of things.

Gift baskets can also be filled with little extravagances that show the recipient you remember some of their favorite treats and want to provide a little pick-me-up. Whether that is chocolate covered cherries, pecan popcorn, Jelly Belly candies, red licorice, swirled lollipops, or gourmet caramels, candy and other sweets are sure to make a big hit. But if you need to create a sugar-free gift basket, you can do that, too. Mugs and flavored coffees and teas, biscottis, almond cookies, chocolate dipped spoons, and crossword puzzles are another great option—and will help the recipient sit back, take it easy, and relax and recover.

For patients with dietary restrictions, you can even send a 100 percent healthy gift basket comprised of dozens of different combinations of delicious fruits—like navel oranges, grapefruit, green apples, red delicious apples, jonagold apples, granny smith apples, comice pears, bosc pears, concord pears, columbia d'anjou pears, seckel pears, Asian pears, pineapple, and dried fruits—and nuts and cheeses. Monterey jack, medium cheddar, pistachios, mixed nuts, almonds, and other cheeses and nuts—along with some crackers and relish—make great additions to food gift baskets.

For Jewish friends, kosher gift baskets containing items like old world fruit hamentashen or rugelach; kosher cheeses—such as baby gouda, marinated braided mozzarella, la chevre fresh goats milk cheese with roasted garlic and parsley, and corner cheese imported from Switzerland; smoked salmon and salmon pates; crispy flat breads; and fruits such as apricots and prunes are a wonderful gift idea when someone is feeling under the weather.

You can even choose get well gift baskets for kids—containing plush stuffed animals they can cuddle as they recuperate, coloring books and crayons to keep them busy if they’re bedridden, or bottles of bubbles to put a smile back on their face. Of course, candy filled treat gift baskets are always greeted with a smile—as long as the items inside are within any dietary restrictions for their condition and they can eat them as tolerated.

Believe it or not, delicious delicacies like cheesecake, bottles of wine, and lobster pate can even be incorporated into a gift basket and—when properly shipped—arrive safe and sound and perfectly presented.

From food items like cheese spreads and breadsticks to mints and merlot, bing cherry and blueberry chocolates to pretzels and red pepper relish, summer fruit salad to Sonoma creamy jack cheese, you can pack a basket with flavors and delights for even the fussiest eaters and most finicky patients. Gift items like steel paella pans and tapas plates, leather trimmed wine bottle carrying cases with wine flutes, stainless steel colanders, fishing creels, wooden clocks, backpacks, and barbeque tongs and aprons can all be incorporated into gift baskets and have long-lasting value, so they’ll last far longer than flowers. With all of the options available, gift baskets are quite simply the perfect get well gift for anyone you know.

They’ll demonstrate your attention to detail, the fact that you care enough to send them something truly personal, and your warm love and concern—even if you can’t be there in person. They are the perfect way to show you care. So don’t just send a bouquet or a gift. Send an entire gift basket along with a heartfelt “Get Well Soon” message.

Gift Baskets are the Perfect Office Reward

Monday, July 13, 2009 by Dale Coover

Gift Baskets are the Perfect Office Reward

If there were an ‘A-B-Cs’ of corporate holiday gift baskets, the ‘A’ would most certainly represent Appreciation. In recognizing a service or deed, we show appreciation and subsequently express gratitude. On a frequent basis we identify acts to appreciate within our own corporate setting; our support entities; and those we serve, our customers and clients, all are vital to our success.

Building and maintaining relationships is key to the growth of a business. Also, basic to managing an enterprise is acknowledging these valued business relationships. Very important to today’s business culture is gratitude along with cost-effective ways to express it. Gift baskets are a convenient and creative gifting option. Gift baskets allow you to tastefully express thanks in a variety of ways from simple to elaborate, from whimsical to elegant.

If your gift basket will be sent to a specific group within a customer’s company, consider sending a corporate gift basket that reflects appreciation and gratitude for their support of your business. The Executive Treats gift basket (cheese wedges, summer sausage, parmesan bruschetta crisps, crunchy caramel corn, and more) and the Office Bytes gift basket (cheese wedges, white cheddar popcorn, Spinzel pretzel sticks, Ghirardelli chocolate, and more) are excellent choices within the Snack Baskets category. We are especially enthused about our Snack Baskets category offering dozens of inspired gifts including specific themes and others more general in nature.

If your expression of thanks is being sent to an individual client, a themed gift basket reflecting an interest or hobby of theirs makes a more personal statement. Still within the expansive Snack Basket gift category, we offer the Book Lovers gift basket (sweet treats packaged in a very attractive Bookend Chest with a Barnes and Noble Gift Card); the Garden Treasures gift basket (these snacks are placed side-by-side along garden tools in a small green and white gardening tote); and you’ll score points with our Home Run gift basket (smoked almonds, salami, hot-pepper cheese, and caramel popcorn).

In addition to acknowledging our clients and customers, it is equally important to appreciate and motivate our employees. When words are hard to find, let a flavorful gift basket express your appreciation for the consistent effort demonstrated by your staff. The Northwoods Snacks gift basket arrives in a Northwoods bark basket, and because it is so full of delicious edibles might more appropriately be called lunch; the Snack Attack gift basket is sweet and savory perfection and one of our four sizes will be perfect for your team; to honor one outstanding employee give the Take-A-Break gift basket, let breaks take on a whole new quality. Employee performance is essential to the success and continued growth of your business; let a gift basket strengthen that bond.

Showing appreciation with gift baskets is an easy, cost-effective way to nurture relationships with your customer base and within the ranks of your own company. Each of our baskets are thoughtfully assembled to include items specific to the individual, occasion, or holiday; much more fun to receive than a coffee shop gift card.

Ordering corporate holiday gift baskets on-line is one of the easiest and most well received gifting exercises you will ever perform. As you place your best professional foot forward, let us help you put a new skip to it!

Unless you have an allergy to nuts we have a wide selection to choose from and I don't know anyone who doesn't like fruit.

Don't forget the young ones this summer. They like to get a suprise just as much if not more than we adults do. Yjey are looking for anything to do this summer. To get something in the mail with their name on it is special
I used to get a magazine int the mail and it had MY name on it and I thought it was the best.

WELCOME HOME PATRIOT

Wednesday, July 1, 2009 by Dale Coover
Welcome home, what good words to hear!
With the troop withdraw and replacement of soldiers in Iraq this maybe a familiar phrase we will be hearing.
It has to be hard to have a family member serving time in a foreign country and being out of touch. And to be called back into duty several times. Not only hard on making plans for the future, but day to day plans and expenses and not knowing how they are everyday.
SO WELCOME HOME PATRIOT takes on a new meaning when it is someone you know.
Our online gift baskets include specialty gift baskets such as:

Welcome Home Patriot
