Velvet Ribbon Baskets

Breakfast is a favorite meal for many. Enjoying tasty sweet breakfast goodies, delicious morning beverages, and savory breakfast meats and treats spell out the perfect weekend getaway from the hustle and bustle of the workaday week. What better way to share this special experience with someone you care about than a breakfast gift basket? Breakfast gift baskets are such a thrill to receive. The possibilities for a unique and flavor-filled experience are limitless. Think about all the wonderful breakfast foods and combine that with memories of special mornings. Whether you want to provide a special treat to be enjoyed the first sunny warm morning in spring or you’d like to warm their hearts on a snowy, snuggly Sunday deep in January, breakfast gift baskets provide the perfect array of goodies to exceed your expectations. Here are a few ideas to help you get started on your breakfast gift basket.

Coffee Gift Basket
Perfect for the coffee connoisseur. Place varieties of wonderful coffees in a handsome wicker basket with velvet lining or a shiny tin in rich jewel tones for a rich, warm effect. Go for exotic flavors and a variety of roasts to suit bold and mild preferences. Don’t forget to include decaffeinated coffees as well. Biscotti biscuits make a delicious accompaniment to a variety of coffee flavors, so include chocolate – which pairs so well with coffee – and interesting flavors like orange and cranberry almond for instant delight.

Breakfast in Bed Gift Basket
Perfect for Mother’s Day, a birthday surprise, or simply for any special morning, give the snuggly gift of breakfast in bed. Breakfast in bed gift baskets include all the fixings for a real breakfast treat. Choose a pretty wicker tray for the basket that can be used later for breakfast in bed. So handy. Pancake and waffle mix are great options, as is syrup for topping. Include a few different syrup flavors – classic maple syrup is always a hit, but raspberry or blueberry syrup add extra punch. Include a special coffee or tea and a vase with a pretty flower for a wonderful effect.

Berry Delightful Breakfast Gift Basket
Go all out for the berry lover in your life. The Berry Delightful breakfast gift basket is perfect for a wide variety of tasty berry jams and jellies. Strawberry, blueberry, raspberry and blackberry are always yummy hits. Currant berry jam, gooseberry jam, and berry mixes are also fun, flavorful, and interesting additions. Berry syrups are also wonderful poured on a variety of baked goods and come in all sorts of berry-licious flavors – blueberry, raspberry, and strawberry just to name a few. Don’t stop the “berry wonderful” experience with toppings, however. Strawberry waffle and blueberry pancake mixes really celebrate the berry. Assemble all the berry delights in a pretty woven basket. The basket in a tablecloth in a bright, fresh print will really highlight the berry treats and can also be used later.

Breakfast Bread Basket
Few things compare to the scent of warm bread. A breakfast bread basket is a perfect chance to share this incomparable aroma. Select a large woven picnic basket lined with printed tea towels for an authentic touch. The tea towels can be used later, which is always a bonus. Fill the basket with a variety of yummy breads of different sizes and shapes for a neat visual effect and taste options. Long narrow French bread, round boules, rectangular loaves of fluffy country bread, raisin breads, and scones are perfect. Include artisan butter and homemade jellies for a gourmet touch.

Bloody Mary Breakfast Gift Basket
Bloody Mary drinks are a time-honored morning pick-me-up. Start with a bottle of your favorite Bloody Mary mix and include a jar of skewered olives, cocktail onions, and pickles, as well as a set of cocktail glasses. Ham, a jar of mustard, and cheddar biscuit mix provide great accompaniments to your Bloody Mary treat.
