Gift Baskets Can Be Personalized for Any Occasion

Gift Basket Ideas

Judy Kaelin
For babies: Bath products including baby shampoo, baby powder, soft baby towels, wipes, mild soaps, comb and brush set. Rattles, pacifiers, teething rings, bibs and spoons are also nice to add to baby gift baskets.

Others ideas that make nice basket gifts are micro-fleece blankets, baby tees, sleepers, baby shaped picture frame, stockings, caps and booties.

For anniversary gift baskets select: Engraved coffee cups, engraved wine glasses, specialty wines, assorted cheeses, pretzels, gourmet coffee, herbal teas, and gourmet cookies. Music CD's and soft scented candles could be added to set the mood.

For the car enthusiast or guys only: A flashlight with batteries, car wash soap, car wax, car washing mitt, glass cleaner, and micro fiber cloths make a great gift basket. Food like pretzels, assorted cheeses, assorted nuts, gourmet pickles, homemade cookies and candy would be a welcome gift by most men.

For ladies: Special gift baskets including body scrubs, lotions, complexion pads, scented soaps and candles are excellent choices. Some may prefer stationary, candles, fancy soap, gourmet candies, herbal teas, biscotti or chocolate truffles.

A welcome gift basket for any occasion: A basket could be loaded with dried fruit, assorted nuts, sugared almonds, white chocolate pretzels, chocolate candies, assorted cheeses, pretzels, biscotti, gourmet coffee, herbal teas and specialty wines.

For road-runners or campers: Fill a plastic pail with personal hygiene items such as toothbrush, toothpaste, hand soap, hand sanitizer, tissues and paper towels. Add matches or Bic lighter, a flashlight with batteries and first-aid items including OTC meds like Tylenol and antacids.

Gift baskets are easy to put together or they can be purchased at specialty stores, gourmet shops and from Internet sites.
