Gift Baskets

Mmmm…fresh fruit, exotic coffee blends, French cheeses, and fine wines. Sounds good, doesn’t it? All this and more can be found within a food gift basket, and with just the click of your mouse or a quick phone call, you can have a basket being delivered to a friend or loved one in no time. Gourmet gift baskets make fantastic gifts for anyone and for any occasion. These baskets are packed full of the finest products, and the thoughtfulness of sending one will be appreciated just as much as the items themselves.



Here’s everything you need to know about sending a gourmet gift basket:

What is a gourmet gift basket?
A gourmet gift basket is a lot like a standard gift basket, only the gifts inside are of the highest quality. Usually, these gift baskets contain items like fine wines, coffees, teas, crackers, cheese, fruit, and other small snacks. Everything is gourmet – only the best for these gift baskets.

How much do gourmet gift baskets cost?
One of the great things about gourmet gift baskets is the price range. You can spend as little as $20, or you can spend well over $100 or more. The prices are so varied because there is a huge variety when it comes to the size of the gift basket and the types of items you choose to include in it. Obviously, the smaller the basket and less expensive the gifts, the less you can expect to spend on a gourmet gift basket.

How do I order a gourmet gift basket?
Ordering a gift basket is easy! You have 4 options when it comes to ordering: in person, over the phone, online, or do-it-yourself. If you choose to order in person, you’ll have to head to a local store that specializes in gourmet gift baskets. Higher end grocery stores often do this, but you should call around first to see who does baskets in your area. Phone orders work in much the same way; you can call a local retailer if you choose and place your order that way, or you can order online from Velvet Ribbon Baskets. It’s as easy as selecting your basket, supplying shipping information, and using your credit card to pay for it. Finally, you can go the DIY route by purchasing a decorative basket, filling it with your chosen gourmet items, and tying a pretty bow on top. You may save some money this way because you’ll be supplying the labor.  However, it is obviously more work than simply pointing, clicking and ordering online.
