Do people really like gift baskets?

How can someone know if there getting the right gift basket for the person?

Do people really like gift baskets?
Make it yourself. If you are giving a fruit basket....You should know a little about the person you are giving it to.





I have a few Vegetarian friends so on B-Days, I give them a vegetable and fruit basket with what ever is seasonal at the time.


Like right now I made a few baskets with DRY vegetable soup packets, sweet taters, squash, oranges, dried fruits, a few nuts, apples...etc... Just be creative.


YOU can buy BULK items and make several baskets compared to buying just 1 basket. The cost is way beyond what it would take to MAKE it yourself. and I love personal gifts even if it is a knitted scarf. But I am sentimental.





If the person likes meat...then make a dry meat basket with dry salami, jerky, crackers, cheese etc...





If they like bath oils...go to a Walmart or Dollar store and get a few gift baskets and then go home and take them apart. A make a few baskets with bathoils and fruits..


SEE my dear the IDEAS just keep coming.





HAVE FUN


PEACE





SO many Ideas.


TRUST me IF a man PERSONALLY made me a basket...It would be awesome to get.





P.S. I have made baskets and put them in a metal bucket. You do not have to put things in a WICKER basket. Be creative. Basket doesn't mean BASKET. Use nice box, gift bag...etc...
Reply:That's easy, if you know what the person likes, like luxury bath stuff, like good smelling bath salts, or body wash and what their favorite scents are or if they love candles then that would be the perfect basket to give and it is usually greatly appreciated.
Reply:yes they do
Reply:Why a basket though? Why not a bag or a box?
Reply:Sure why not, I would like them. If you pick one with a variety of different things they will be sure to like at least half of what's in it. Remember it's the thought that counts : )
Reply:it depends on whats in it. I don't really like the pre-brought ones but if someone has put it together themselves with my fav things in them, then I'd love it :)
Reply:People don't really like gift baskets because there are alot of things included which they dont need or even want. Friut baskets suck. Wine baskets are heavy. Food/clothing/accessorie baskets are wack. In fact. OUT with the baskets! Just get a nice bottle of champagne for whoever.
