There’s little as satisfying as a scrumptious meal after a hard, long day’s work. So what can be better than to gift your loved one a gourmet gift basket. The trick behind gifting the perfect gourmet gift basket is to know the person who you are gifting the basket to, intimately. Some knowledge about their food preferences and current lifestyle will help you make the right choice of gourmet gift basket.

Dieter’s delight: We all have a friend or cousin who’s always on a diet. Come Monday, the diet begins and by Thursday it’s back to I’ll-start-on-Monday schedule. A soup gourmet gift basket would be perfect for this dieter. Pick a gift basket and select some delicious soup packets. You can add a soup recipe book, a couple of soup bowls, a large wooden soupspoon and matching napkins. To complete the soup gourmet gift basket throw in some crunchy breadsticks – fat free please!

Rise and shine: This gourmet gift basket is going to be loved by whomever you gift it to. Whether an early morning person or a late riser – it won’t matter because this gourmet gift basket will have something for everyone. The basket can contain Godiva milk chocolate, Godiva biscotti, some high quality Java, Darjeeling tea, butter cookies and two mugs, a coffee scoop, milk sachets and sugar. If you want to make the basket pricier add a coffee maker. Breakfast your way into someone’s good books with this gourmet gift basket!

Sushi Specials: This one is for all the folks who love the good things in life. Create a Japanese delicacy gourmet gift basket, which includes different types of sushi, some caviar and crackers and oysters as well. To the whole ensemble add a silk kimono if it fits your budget or an artificial silk kimono if that’s more affordable. Note: This gourmet gift basket will be appreciated only if you’re sure the recipient loves raw foods of this kind – else you may be making a major error in judgment!

Nutty Affair: This one is for all the nutty kinds. Make a gourmet gift basket containing assorted types of nuts. Cashew nuts, almonds, pistachios, peanuts, macadamia and walnuts. Now what goes best with nuts? Why, beer of course! So add a couple of bottles of root beer and you’re all set. Instead of the typical acne basket you may want to use an ice bucket as the ‘basket’.

Snack Attack: This gourmet gift basket is not for the faint of heart… literally! It’s a completely sinful and junk food delight. Two bags of potato chips, a pack of chocolate cookies, toffee roasted peanuts, cheese, berry fruit candies, pistachio caramel popcorn, roasted garlic dipping pretzels and a sick pack of Coke – no diet please! While most women would die to feast on something this junkie, it’s a rare woman who won’t crucify the person who gifted it to them to begin with. So beware when gifting the snack attack gourmet gift basket to any female. Most guys would probably be too busy munching away to even acknowledge you with thanks.

You can make a gourmet gift basket based on your knowledge of the recipient’s favorite foods. You can choose to have an assorted selection or have lots of just 2-3 items – it depends entirely on the recipient and your budget. However, irrespective of your budget remember to have at least one thing in the basket that will last for a long time and not get devoured immediately – after all you want to be remembered for your generosity.
