Holiday Gift BasketsWho ever came up with the idea of holiday gift baskets was a genius. Holiday gift baskets are great because they are multi-purpose. They are festive and provide, by their very nature, the gift packaging which saves time, effort and money. They leave the recipient with a useful container long after the contents of the holiday gift basket is gone. (And this is particularly nice if the the receiver of the holiday gift basket doesn't really care much for the contents of the basket.) Holiday gift baskets can be presented in a way that is personal to the receiver even if the contents aren't personal. Take a food holiday gift basket, for instance. You might have all kinds of practical food items in the basket, but the holiday gift basket itself could be adorned with frilly or silly decorations that appeal to the personality of the one you are giving it to. So inside the basket, you may pack cheese, crackers, soup mix and apples, but the holiday gift basket might have red cellophane wrapping with a cutout of Betty Boop and a pair of Betty Boop earrings in the gift card envelope. Or you might have filled your holiday gift basket with art supplies, but decorate the basket with hippy, tie dyed tissue paper and a CD of the Grateful Dead hanging from the handle. So there is a lot of versatility when giving and wrapping your holiday gift baskets. Holiday gift baskets are wonderful when you are working on a large scale gift giving project because you can fill them in assembly line fashion and organize a team of helpers to get the job done. Maybe your church has adopted a children's organization for Christmas and you have decided to put together a holiday gift basket for each child. Well you can make piles of each of the ingredients for the basket and line people up along tables or counters and pass the basket along the line, each person putting in their item and before you know it, you can have sixty or seventy baskets filled in minutes. This is just one approach to a mass holiday gift basket project. Finally, holiday gift baskets have become a customary choice when shipping to friends, relatives and employees. There are many sources for holiday gift baskets both in the malls and on the internet. There are lots of sizes and prices to choose from. You can design the contents by choosing and placing in a "shopping cart" and then the store or online provider will package and ship the finished basket to your list of recipients. This is still a personal and welcome gift, but it is also a practical and affordable way to show someone you care about them at the holidays.
