Everyone loves to receive a gift basket. Corporate gift baskets are often given by businesses to their customers as a token of their appreciation. However, most gift baskets are person to person expressions of love and friendship.
You can find a great selection of online gift baskets from the very expensive to the cheap. Or, you can come up with your own unique gift basket idea and surprise a cherished friend or loved one.
It�s not difficult to make your own personalized gift baskets. Most gift baskets involve a theme.
Here are some sample ideas to get you started:
** Cookie Gift Basket � bake up some homemade cookies and enclose them in colorful plastic wrap, include a personal card or poem.
** Chocolate Lovers Gift Basket � include individual fancy chocolates, boxed chocolates, or the person�s favorite chocolate bars along with hot chocolate mix.
** Holiday Gift Basket #1 � a Christmas holiday gift basket idea could include small stocking stuffers, candy canes and homemade Christmas cookies.

** Coffee Gift Basket � Your favorite coffee lover will enjoy fresh gourmet ground roasted coffee (or their favorite brand), flavored creamer, cookies and a fun coffee mug.
** Italian Gift Basket � include a variety of dried gourmet pasta like spinach, whole wheat, or dried tomato, two jars of pasta sauce, fresh mozzarella and parmesan cheese, garlic bread and fancy olive oil.
** Tea Lovers Gift Basket � you can include several varieties of black tea, green tea and herbal teas, a mug and homemade butter cookies adds a nice finishing touch.
** Champagne or Beer Gift Basket - the champagne basket would be elegant: includes a bottle of fine champagne, cheese and crackers, and fancy chocolates; the beer basket includes several domestic and/or imported beers, lagers, or ales, chips, pretzels and nuts.
