The winter holidays are coming up and will probably be here before we know it, so it’s a good idea to begin planning your gift list now. That’s true in particular if you have a lot of people to buy for. It’s also important if you’re like me and have a significant other who’s picky. It took a while but I eventually discovered that Italian gift baskets work particularly well for him. He gets an assortment of things he likes and I get to give a spectacular-looking gift that doesn’t cost that much. And I don’t even have to leave the house to get it, so we’re both happy. As a result, I’ve actually become a bit of a gift basket freak. The people in my life have come to expect them from me when I give them a present. And they tell me they really like them, so that confirms I’m on the right track.
The great thing about giving gift baskets is that they come in so many varieties. When I want to send gifts to people who just finished moving into new homes, I usually send wine and cheese gift baskets. Those also do double-duty as bon voyage gifts or when someone has finished remodeling a home. Still, there are occasions when I’m not really sure what to give, so I do a search by the person’s gender. Doing an Internet search for “gift baskets for her” or the opposite ordinarily will give you a list of sites that offer a large selection of baskets that range from items that appeal to Baby Boomers to wine to desserts. So something usually pops up that I haven’t seen before.
The only problem I have with shopping for gift baskets online is that I usually end up buying something myself! But that’s OK; I’ve gotten some really fun stuff that way. In fact, I’m still enjoying some South American wines I bought in a gift basket I found while searching for a friend’s gift last month. As I write this I realized I should finish those bottles soon. I’m going to start my holiday shopping any day now and I’m sure I’ll be buying plenty more for myself!
