Gift baskets are out of date! Or is it that they’re just boring? Actually, I hope the correct response is neither. You see, I make my living by selling gift baskets (among other food gifts). Granted, it may be less significant that solving the global warming problem or removing a pesky mouse from under your kitchen cabinet, but it’s an honest way to pay for the roof over my family’s head.

I can read your mind: “All of his gift problems are solved; year in and year out everybody on his list gets stuck with another gift basket.” I want to disabuse you of your smug attitude! In fact, I face the same dilemmas that you face during any gift giving, decision making crisis.

I don’t give only baskets of joy to my loved ones. Even if I did just give gift baskets to everyone, my choice would be only marginally easier than yours. My company alone offers scores of fruit baskets, wine gift baskets, gourmet food options and far more. (I can hear you right now, begging me to tell you where this wonderful store is. A little patience is called for on your part.)

Before you coerce me into giving away my store location, I want to share my own decision making strategy with you.

First, I decide on an appropriate category of gift. If Uncle Milton really has managed to eliminate his drinking problem after a decade of trying, then the wine gift baskets are out of the running. Instead, I’ll opt for a fruit basket with something seasonal. After years of ignoring the nutritional value of what he consumed, he could use a few extra servings of fruit in solid form.

Aunt Millie, on the other hand, is a great wine sipper. Frankly, I don’t know if she really enjoys the wine, but she sure enjoys talking about it. She thrills to have a new member of her audience so that she can explain what makes a good vintage year, the varieties of grapes that are used in her favorite blends and, especially, how much she paid for each bottle (as well as how much she paid for the carpeting you just ruined by spilling your glass). She’ll get a simple wine gift basket, but I’m not going to spring for the champagne!

My nephew, Alfred, recently married his long time girlfriend. To tell you the truth, even I agree that it’s about time. Alfred spent the last eight years trying to decide if she was worth the cost of a diamond ring. (I suspect that he eventually settled on crystal, which, considering Alfred, would be thought of as generous.) Alfred always loves to receive cash as a gift. Well, he’s not getting that from me. Instead, they’re getting a meal of live lobsters and the trimmings from me. Actually two, of course. My thinking is that this is the only way to get his bride out of the kitchen. Alfred would never pay for a restaurant meal, so, in a sense, I’m sending the restaurant to them.

My second step, after choosing a category is to select a price range that I’m willing to spend on these people. Then my wife makes me double that amount.

My perfect grandson isn’t getting a food gift. I’m getting him the latest cell phone system, complete with an unlimited calling plan. I would get him a sports car if only you would buy a lot more gift baskets!

Please stop giving my favorite gift category a bad name. Join the revolution by refusing to ship those obnoxious collections of unidentifiable cylinders claimed to be sausage and the awkward containers of processed cheese spreads. Extend the protest to include those tree killing enormous boxes that contain a couple apples or pears. I can find apples and pears that are just as good in my local super market.

Despite my heretical words, above, I love good food gifts. I enjoy giving them, but I enjoy receiving them even more. However, when you send me something, please make it the same quality I give those on my gift list. There is a difference, you know, between true quality and the convenience of buying from one of those ugly mall kiosks. Food gifts deserve at least as much careful thought as that after-shave you bought your dad year after year in your childhood–oops, not a good example, perhaps.

Instead of the mostly chemical box from the mall stand, think about a assortment of gourmet cheese from some cheesemaker who actually understands what cheese is and what it can be. Let’s keep the goats and cows happily employed instead of just putting more chemicals in our food. I would love even a small gift such as that more than the biggest box of the fake stuff that your mall displays.

A beautiful wine gift basket makes a delightful gift for the right person. Do remember though that this gift is not suited for everyone. You see, I haven’t had a drink in years, because I’m an alcoholic. I prefer not to be tempted, especially during the holidays, but my sister would be an ideal recipient. She knows how to sip and savor; I remember only how to gulp and refill.

In our mobile society, we all have a beloved relative or a dear friend who has moved to some distant location. Consider a gift of live lobsters or a couple complete lobster dinners. Indeed, after you read this article, I hope you feel friendly toward me, because that is a gift that I would enjoy!

I made light of fruit gift baskets a while ago, but, if you take the time, you can find a basket of gourmet fruit–fruit that does not grown in my back yard. This can be a truly thoughtful gift for someone who is into fitness or who has started the sort of logical diet that allows the consumption of fruit.

See? If you give a food gift the thought that it deserves, you can avoid the line at the mall kiosk and save the heavy fruitcakes and fake cheese boxes for other shoppers. Join me at home some evening, shopping from the Internet. I share my real cheese with you, but you’ll have to bring the wine for yourself.

Gift baskets are a quickly becoming a popular means of giving gifts. They can be given for any occasion to anyone. Wine gift baskets are an elegant gift that both men and women can appreciate. The typical occasions for giving wine are weddings, birthdays and anniversaries, while other popular occasions including Christmas and New Years.

When choosing a wine gift basket, the most important factor is choosing the perfect type of wine. Mainly two types of wine is found, depending upon the types of grapes used. Red grapes and black grapes produce red wines. Popular varieties of red wines include Merlot, cabernet sauvignon, and Grenache. Merlot has a slight chocolaty flavor while Grenache hints of raspberries.

The other type of wine is white wine. Obviously white wines will be made from white grapes. Chardonnays are the most preferred white wines. They appear to be fruity on the palet with varying degrees of vanilla.

While choosing the wine, you should keep in mind the occasion for which the gift is being purchased. Many wine gift basket retailers have certain wines that fit certain occasions, such as Valentines, Christmas or New Years. Also, for who you buy wine for should play a factor in making the wine choice. When you buy wine for a person knowledgeable in wine, you would want to find wine that are more rare or unusual. However, for a beginner, almost any wine choice could do.

The final step in purchasing a wine gift basket will be the accessories that you will include. Accessories for wine baskets can include food, tools, and literature. It is important to select the food according to preference of the receiver and also to the type of wine. Toasted sesame crackers are usually included with white wines, while a chocolate bar works best with a cabernet. Other foods that are generally included in wine baskets are apples and oranges, cheese spreads, cashews and olives.

Another common accessory for wine baskets is the glass. The type of wine also determines the type of glass chosen. Red wines are typically served in glasses with larger bowls. Champagnes are served in flutes. And white wines are served in glasses with long stems and small bowls. The number of glasses included in the basket should be determined by the occasion for which the gift was given.

Other items can be used to fill out the basket. For example, a beginner may enjoy some literature on how to choose a wine or the history of a particular winery.
