Finding the perfect gift can be difficult. It all depends on the person, the occasion, and many other factors. But you can’t often go wrong with a cleverly thought out food basket. The gift will also feel more personal if, instead of buying a pre-made basket full of items the recipient of this gift may or may not like, you create one yourself with hand picked contents you know they will appreciate.
Here’s some hints to help you get started designing your food gift basket.
1.&nbps;&nbps;&nbps;It all starts with the right basket. Big or small, try to find one that’s attractive and reusable. Picnic baskets are always a good idea, or decorative baskets that can be used later for a dried flower arrangement.
2.&nbps;&nbps;&nbps;For the contents of the basket, choose a theme rather than throwing in a hodge-podge of items. Cheese and crackers and other related items make a great basket. You can include:
·Hard cheeses like cheddars, Swiss or Gruyere, or smoked blue cheese.
·Soft, spreadable cheeses like Brie and Camembert
·Hard, chewy bread on which to spread those soft cheeses
·Some thick, crunchy crackers for the sliced cheese
Fruit and fruit spreads are a nice addition to a basket full of cheese, bread, and crackers.
3.&nbps;&nbps;&nbps;If you’ve got the budget for it, don’t stop with the food. To do it up right, include things like a small cheese board and some cheese spreaders. Themed paper napkins are a nice touch. These items come in so many patterns you’re may easily find some with pictures of cheese or fruit on them.
4.&nbps;&nbps;&nbps;How you arrange the basket can even make your gift seem more appealing. If the basket is large, stuff the bottom with some crumpled up paper and cover that with a linen napkin or a nice towel. This is so all your items won’t be sitting in the bottom of the basket. Arrange your food items in a nice array on top of the towel.
5.&nbps;&nbps;&nbps;Another good idea is to decorate the basket itself by wrapping the handle with artificial flowers or grape leaves or even a pretty bow.
6.&nbps;&nbps;&nbps;If you have room for more, you can even include a nice bottle of wine to enjoy with the cheese and fruit.
