What to Look for in a Christmas Gift Basket

Variety

They say variety is the spice of life, well the same is true for gift baskets. Variety really elevates a gift basket from good to great. Well-rounded gift baskets could include foods like meats, crackers, cheeses, candies, nuts, and fruit mixes. 

Even if you select a specialty gift basket, you can look for variety. For example, if you’re sending someone a Christmas cookie basket, you can look for different flavors or types of cookies. There could be decorated sugar cookies, gingerbread men, peppermint cookies, or chocolate-covered Oreos.

Presentation

When it comes to Christmas gifts, festive wrapping or ribbons are classic decorations. Gift baskets can also wear a bit of Christmas flair. Whether it’s all wrapped up in a bow or neatly arranged in an appealing basket with thematic filling, presentation is the cherry on top of any gift. Many premade gift baskets are known for their beautiful aesthetics.

Shipping Information

Reviewing shipping information before purchasing a gift online is vital. There will be information about delivery date estimates, tracking links, instructions for receiving the basket, and if the basket is being shipped with ice packs for optimal freshness.

FAQs

What goes into a Christmas gift basket?

Gift baskets are incredibly diverse, just about anything can go in them. Classic basket options for Christmastime can include candy canes, hot cocoa mix, peppermint bark, cookies, chocolate-covered nuts, gingerbread, popcorn, candies, dried meats, cheeses, and yogurt-covered pretzels.

When should I send a Christmas gift basket?

Sooner is better than later. Many companies offer gift basket pre-orders starting in late October or early November. You’ll want to order as soon as you can to get the gift delivered on time and leave wiggle room for unexpected delays. Sites will let you know shipping time estimates or let you choose a specific delivery date.

Can I customize a Christmas gift basket?

Many gift baskets are customizable in one way or another. The most common type of customization comes in the form of greeting cards or ribbons and bows. Some will let you add on presents or additional candies, some will let you pick a certain element (such as a type of wine). There are even gift baskets that allow you to fully customize the contents or request a certain name written on the basket. Be sure to explore the sites to see if you can put a personal touch on the gift.
