Baskets, or hampers, are completely practical. The presentation is usually the factor that surprises the recipient. They're perfect for family or associates. They can be filled with gadgets, toys, foods and a host of other products. It is truly one of the most customizable presents.

Before you purchase a basket, here are some considerations:

Food Allergies

Always take into account any food allergies the recipient might have. If you don't know, ask. Baskets containing food commonly offer cheeses or nuts. Allergies to lactose or nuts are relatively common today. There are a number of options for non-food baskets, should you wish to try something else. This will help them stay healthy and enjoy the holidays.

Healthy Choices:

Many gift baskets aren't equipped to accommodate those with health needs. Sausages, chocolates, sweet teas, or candies might not be the best choice. Never fear. The gift baskets today can be filled with fruit or sugar-free items that are just as tasty, without the harmful dietary consequences. It's okay to give baskets with nuts, or beverages like coffees or teas. There are also baskets that offer non-food items, such as t-shirts, mugs, or holiday ornaments.

  

Don't Forget the Expiration

If you're purchasing a pre-made basket, this can be easily overlooked. It's imperative to check all dates on the items. Even if you know every item in the basket has a long shelf life, it's good to check anyway. If there's anything remotely perishable in the basket, such as fruit, you'll want to get it delivered as soon as possible.

Themed Baskets

It's easy to find baskets that share a common theme today. Does the person collect movie memorabilia? Would they like a basket filled with materials, such as mugs, shirts, or a CD soundtrack from their favorite movie? What about brands? Would they like a basket filled with Oreo cookie memorabilia? Coca-cola is another popular brand that has many themed items globally.

Is the person a fan of wines? What about a gift basket that offers sample-sized wines or champagnes from around the country? You can create a basket filled with specialty teas, coffees or any other food item.

A Specialty Basket
