Gourmet food and wine
Giving gourmet food and wine baskets is an easy gift to
give on a number of special days, but those who give these gifts on
unexpected occasions might make the gifts extra special.
While gourmet food and wine baskets are popular gifts to give on holidays
like New Year’s, Valentine’s Day or Christmas, there are
other special occasions that are often overlooked that could warrant
giving these baskets. For example:
• Housewarming – Some of the nicest gifts
that can be given to a new neighbor are gourmet food and wine baskets.
The kind of basket a person gives might depend on the kind of home the
recipient is moving into.
If the home has a European feel to it, then perhaps a basket with artisan
honey, rich dark chocolate, French caramels, chocolate truffles, hand-rolled
pastries, and butter cookies would be an excellent gift to welcome the
new homeowner to the neighborhood.
• Promotion – If somebody is being promoted
at work, perhaps a nice way to top off the new office is to have one
of a variety of gourmet food and wine baskets waiting for them when
they arrive.
An Italian gift basket is an excellent choice in this situation. These
gift baskets could include sesame breadsticks, olive oil seasoning,
tomatoes and sweet basil pasta sauce, tomatoes with hot pepper sauce
and a decorative kitchen towel.
