Gift Basket Ideas
A Gift for All Seasons
The truth is, it's hard to think of an occasion when sending a gift basket wouldn't be appropriate. And because they can contain just about anything, we are able to tailor our gift basket creations to fit any person (or pet) at any time of the year.
Do you know people who can't function without that first cup of coffee — or second, or third? They would really enjoy a coffee gift basket full of gourmet Cappuccino and crispy cookies perfect for dipping.
Oops! Sometimes things just don't go right. You can easily say you're sorry and smooth things over with a sincere apology gift basket.
Did you forget the birthday of your favorite niece? Save the day with an emergency birthday gift basket.
Christenings and confirmations, bridal showers and baby showers, weddings and balls, birthdays and holidays — these are all ideal occasions for sending a gift basket.
And there doesn't always have to an "occasion" — unexpected gifts are often the best. You're allowed to send gift baskets "just because...."
At Celebrations & Gifts, our gift baskets aren't just presents, but highly personal, exquisitely crafted expressions of appreciation, love, longing, and friendship that are uniquely you. Below are a few suggestions to get you started on picking just the right gift basket for just the right person.
Ask Deb, the Gift Basket Guru
- My firm is about to have its annual company outing, and the CEO would like to show the employees how much we appreciate all their hard work. But we don't have a large budget for this. What can we do besides just saying "Thanks"?
- You can still say "Thanks" — but say it by presenting them all with corporate gift baskets filled with cookies, calculators, peanuts, pens, and other small tokens of gratitude. This is a truly meaningful but economical way to express how pleased you are with their performance.
- I have a pet Labrador and a Siamese cat who are my two best friends, and I'd like to reward them for their faithfulness. Will this spoil them?
- Absolutely! But that's what pets are for. Try getting them healthy, all-natural treats all wrapped up in customized dog and cat pet gift baskets. They'll never leave your side once they've seen the surprises you have in store.
- A dear friend recently suffered a death in the family. Can you make a gift basket that will let her know how sorry I am in her time of bereavement?
- We carry many types of sympathy gift baskets that are both practical in this difficult time and an eloquent expression of your love and friendship.
- My wife and I are both in the military, but we are stationed at separate bases, hundreds of miles apart. We miss each other terribly. How can we deal with our loneliness?
- By sending each other "his" and "her" gourmet gift baskets with personal heartfelt greetings attached. Care packages like this filled with those snacky treats that you're probably craving, as well as some personal pampering bath supplies, are sure to put a smile on both your faces.
- Our daughter is about to take the big college leap, and we'd like to show her how proud she has made us. Any ideas?
- Buy her a Ferrari. Ha-ha, just kidding. A much more economical solution is to choose something from our selection of congratulations gift baskets, perfect for recent high school or college graduates as well as newly promoted executives. And once your daughter goes off to college, she's bound to feel a little homesick at first. You can fill the lonely spot in her life by sending her a "missing you" care package gift basket filled with some of her favorite foods to help satisfy those midnight snack cravings.
- I vaguely remember having a husband — but ever since taking up golf, he's barely around anymore. How can I get my guy back!
- Unfortunately, there's no known cure for golf-itis. The best you can do is welcome him home from a hard day at the links with an elegant golf gift basket. And for all you other sports widows out there, we have a wide selection of sports gift baskets to let him know you still love him. These include football gift baskets, NASCAR gift baskets, fishing gift baskets, and much more.
- My dad just bought me a Ferrari for graduation. Now what?
- Four words: thank you gift baskets — and lots of 'em.
- I'm thinking about "popping the question" to the girl I've been dating on and off for the past 14 years, and I want it to be an extra-special occasion. Do you have any suggestions?
- Yeah — make up your mind! That being said, an excellent way to propose marriage is in the middle of a romantic picnic in the great outdoors. Knock her off her feet after you wine and dine her in style with one of our swanky, elegant, and easy-to-carry deluxe picnic baskets or backpacks with service for two. (Smelling salts not included.) And when the big day arrives, you can tell her that the honeymoon is never going to be over by presenting her with a gift of one of our wedding gift baskets.
- I'd like to get my mom a scrumptious Mother's Day gift basket, but she's on a diet. Can you suggest any alternatives?
- Why, of course! Try our fruit, low-fat, or fat-free baskets — great taste without the guilt. And if you know someone who's recovering from an illness and needs to watch their diet, our healthy get well gift baskets are just what the doctor ordered.
- It's Christmas Eve, and I still haven't started shopping. Help!
- I'm checking my list and checking it twice...and you're in luck. Nothing beats the quickness and convenience of ordering holiday gift baskets from our online catalog. Of course, if you don't own a computer, you're going to have to ask Santa for that.
- I'm throwing a baby shower for my cousin, who's pregnant with twins, and I'd like to surprise her with something special. Do you have any advice?
- That's an easy one. She's going to be seeing double soon — so help her out with not one but two new baby gift baskets each provisioned with stuffed animals, towels, rattles, socks, adorable bibs, and a picture frame for the new arrivals.
- Our good neighbors are moving to Albany, NY, and we want to send a welcome wagon gift basket to their new home. What can you fill it with?
- What an amazing coincidence! Celebrations & Gifts can deliver gift baskets just about anywhere in the U.S. and Canada, but we're headquartered right here in the Albany area. And if there's one thing we know, it's New York gift baskets. We could fill the basket with locally produced wine, cheese, fruit, New York guide books, tickets to SPAC or Pepsi Arena, season passes for Great Escape, maps — in fact, just about anything your heart desires. Personalized gift baskets are our specialty.
