Great Ideas for Gift Baskets

Gift baskets are a great way to celebrate those special moments in your life. From weddings to birthdays, they are gifts that keep on giving. Here are several unique ideas for making those gift baskets unique:

1. Add Some Sentimental Value to Those Gift Baskets 

Has someone in your life gone through a traumatic experience such as divorce, sickness, or death in the family? Sympathy gift baskets are great gestures of compassion that will appeal to recipients in every age group. Perhaps you know an older senior who has lost a spouse. Include a miniature photo album to give the basket some sentimental value and help the recipient remember the good times.

2. Help The Young Student Succeed With a Tie or Portfolio 

Graduation day is a huge milestone in a young student's life. Whether graduating college or high school, there are a variety of gift baskets that will suit their needs. Often called congratulatory gift baskets, their purpose is to help the young graduate survive in the real world. While Gourmet Gift Baskets that contain cookies and assorted coffee grain packets are sufficient, why not get those creative juices flowing by adding something extraordinary.

Graduation is a tremendous accomplishment that should reflect the student's remarkable character. Perhaps a tie or miniature portfolio neatly tucked in a basket of chocolates will add some spontaneity to an otherwise average assortment of goods. In addition, these gift basket accessories will help the young graduate in their future collegiate or job interviews. Perhaps you can even throw in a book of funny anecdotes that will get them through those tough times.

3. Appeal to His Interests 

Is that special man in your life celebrating a birthday some time soon? Whether turning 25 or 55, the best gift basket ideas will be those which reflect his individual interests. In addition to the regular assembly of popcorn or candy, add your own personal touch by stocking the basket with his favorite brand of tape measure or pack of nails. The sports fan in your life will enjoy receiving a basket that displays his favorite team's color or player's number painted on the side.

While some gift basket examples can be found at GreatArrivals.com, you can add a personal touch with just a little creativity and resourcefulness. Gift baskets are a fun and easy way to show that special someone in your life that you care!
