Gift Baskets & Bundles

A good gift basket should contain healthy and thoughtful products, should be well-curated, and above all, should be tailored to the recipient’s personal tastes and preferences. Here are some tips to help you create a gift basket that will put a smile on the face of the recipient.

• Choose a theme: You know the hobbies, interests, as well as personality of the recipient. In this regard, you should choose a theme that resonates with their interests, hobbies, and personalities. This could be anything from a spa basket, a sports-themed basket, a gourmet food basket, or even a gardening basket.
• Variety: You should endeavor to include a variety of items in your gift basket that fit the theme you chose. For instance, if you’ve chosen an organic-themed gift basket, you can include organic fruits, organic vegetables, and organic dairy products, to mention a few.
• Presentation: Presentation is key. Just like you took time to choose a theme and select various items, it is important that the presentation be spot on. The way your gift basket is presented is just as important. Arrange items in the basket in an attractive way and in line with the theme you chose.
• Personalization: It is important that you add a personal touch and include a warm handwritten message or note to make the gift basket feel more special and thoughtful.
• Dietary restrictions: Consider the dietary restrictions of your recipient and ensure that the items you include in your gift basket are safe for them to consume. For instance, if the recipient is allergic to dairy products, ensure that no dairy products are in the gift basket.

There is really no specific number of items that should be in a gift basket. It can vary depending on the theme of the basket as well as the size of the basket. That said, a gift basket should generally have at least 3 to 4 items to make it feel thoughtful and substantial. If a gift basket is small, it may have 3 to 4 items. For larger gift baskets, 5 or more items may suffice. It all boils down to the theme of the basket. The goal should be to create a gift basket that feels thoughtful and well-curated rather than just a collection of items. In other words, while the number of items in the gift basket is important, the relevance and quality of the items chosen is an equally important consideration.

When you create a healthy gift basket, it sends the message that you care about the well-being of the recipient. Here are some ideas of the items you should include in a healthy gift basket.

• Fresh fruits: You can never go wrong with including a variety of fresh fruits such as berries, apples, oranges, and bananas.
• Whole grain crackers or rice cakes: These are healthy and the perfect alternative to traditional crackers.
• Dried fruit: Including dried fruits such as dates, figs, or apricots is of the essence as they are a great source of fiber.
• Healthy condiments like hummus, guacamole, or salsa.
• Nuts and seeds such as almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and cashew nuts.
• Herbal tea that soothes digestion and promotes relaxation such as ginger, peppermint, or chamomile.

The above are just ideas and the list is not exhaustive. Remember to take into consideration any dietary restrictions as well as the personal tastes and preferences of the recipient. Lastly, include a personalized handwritten note or message to make the gift basket more thoughtful.
