How to Choose a Gourmet Gift Basket

A thoughtful gift basket is more than a present — it's a memorable experience. Here's how to pick the perfect one.

Consider the Occasion

The occasion often points to the perfect basket. For a corporate thank-you, choose a polished, impressive basket like our Tastes of Santa Fe or Celebration. For a hostess gift, a sweet confection basket like Sweet Confection is always welcome. For holidays, our seasonal hampers such as Home for the Holidays are a festive favorite.

Think About the Recipient

Consider the recipient's tastes. A coffee or tea lover will adore High Tea & Café Noir. Someone who loves to cook will appreciate the ingredients in Southwest Cocina or Toscana. For a relaxing, spa-style gift, our Provence basket is a lovely choice.

And not every recipient is a food person. For the one whose passion is a timepiece rather than a tablespoon, consider pairing the basket with a watch — the omega replica watches we have suggested to past clients are a good starting point for the sport-watch fan, and the same specialist carries dressier options as well.

Choose a Size and Budget

We offer baskets at a range of price points, from our Provence collection starting around $20 to our luxurious Celebration hamper at $195. Many baskets are available in larger or smaller versions, so you can match your budget.

Add a Personal Touch

Every basket can be customized. We accommodate special requests and can design a basket around a theme, a color, or a particular product. For corporate orders, we offer personalized gifts and house accounts.

Order Early for the Holidays

During the December holidays, we may require several days to design and deliver your gift. Place your order early to ensure timely delivery.
