 And if that special someone has to watch their diet or control their sugar, it can be done with a special gift basket too.  There are baskets made to follow doctor's orders.  Some of the baskets consist of sugar-free products, such as brownie bites, chocolate candies, cookies, and tropical candies. The doctor ordered to keep it light- no problem- the answer must be in the basket with the chicken noodle soup and crackers.  So, that age old question of what to send to show you care can all be wrapped up in a nice basket.  Remember, there are baskets for all occasions, gift baskets for him or her, Kosher Food Gift Basket, and Specialty Snack Baskets  of all sorts.  The toughest part is deciding with which snack basket to choose, from the fruits and nuts, to the tea and cookies, to the candy baskets that make your mouth water just looking at them.  Treat them to that snack basket that they will savor with each bite.

 

SWEET AND SAVORY GIFT BASKET

WE ALL SHOULD BE SUGAR FREE IT'S BETTER FOR US !

Monday, August 31, 2009 by Dale Coover

One of the unique gift baskets offered here is geared to someone who might appreciate gourmet treats, but can't normally because of too high a sugar content.  Now, even someone with more refined tastes won't be left out.  There is even one sophisticated enough for giving as a corporate-type gift.  Lastly, there is included in this line of unique gift baskets one that the thoughtful boss can give to a secretary or office assistant trying to count calories that has a cute, small pail that can be reused later to house a plant or other items at the desk when the candy is gone.

 

By having such a wide variety of specialty gift baskets available to choose from, the gift you give will be doubly sweet.  Not only will your recipient appreciate the gift, but you will be doubly thanked for the extra thoughtfulness you put forth in choosing a gift that everyone can enjoy across the board.

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.

TAKE A HIKE!! TAKE A SNACK GIFT BASKET WITH YOU!

Friday, August 14, 2009 by Dale Coover

Take A Hike! – And Have a Picnic

No matter where you live, and even in tough economic times, there is one activity almost everyone can afford: to go on a hike and have a picnic! We’ve all seen the scenes in the movies—where a couple heads out to a beautiful hilly or mountainous setting for a short hike through the hills and the woods and then settles down for a beautiful, romantic lunch on a blanket spread on the grass or in the shade beneath a tree. They might pull out a couple of meat and cheese gift baskets—or one of many other unique gourmet gift baskets that look both beautiful and delicious—and enjoy wine, caviar, cheese, crackers, and other delicacies. It looks like so much fun! Yet how often do we take the time to do something like that?

You don’t have to reside in the mountains or drive to a national park to enjoy a hike and a picnic. And you don’t have to spend a lot either. You can save money and take a much-needed R&R break in your hometown or even your own backyard. Take a hike—or a walk—to a local park to spread out your meal and enjoy it in the outdoors with the person you love. Almost every town or city has beautiful parks waiting to be discovered. When is the last time you’ve visited one of yours? If you want to save money, pack a picnic lunch utilizing whatever you happen to have in the house—like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, cupcakes, and apple juice—and focus on enjoying the time together. Pack it in a basket, a cooler, or a backpack—whatever works.

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

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.

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.

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE?

Wednesday, July 8, 2009 by Dale Coover

A little some thing for everyone and sure to make anyone feel great about themselves.
BIRTHDAY GIFT BASKETS, HOUSEWARMING GIFT BASKETS, MEAT AND CHEESE GIFT BASKETS, UNIQUE HOLIDAY GIFT BASKETS.

There are various social theories concerning gift economies. Some consider the gifts to be a form of reciprocal altruism. Another interpretation is that social status is awarded in return for the 'gifts'. Consider for example, the sharing of food in some hunter-gatherer societies, where food-sharing is a safeguard against the failure of any individuals daily foraging. This custom may reflect altruism, it may be a form of informal insurance, or may bring with it social status or other benefits.

A gift basket is sure to make the person receiving it to feel elevated in stature, if not make them just plain feel good.

COOK OUT TIME

Thursday, June 25, 2009 by Dale Coover
Time to fire up the grill and have a barbecue.
Get out the mosquito spray, the sun tan lotion, make some hamburgers, get some chips and your family and friends and go to town.
Have a few ice cold ones and some cold sodas for the wee ones. Sit down and have a chat about something or nothing., doesn't matter enjoy yourself and have a laugh.
Summer always seams to short, so slow down and pave a picnic.
Our online gift baskets and unique gourmet gift baskets have something for everyone.
