Where I live, just near Byron Bay on the far east coast of Australia, we grow a lot of gourmet, boutique coffee.

Some of it has actually won prizes on a world scale and anyone here who loves coffee has their fav coffee shop on the beach (see the picture of mine on Shelly Beach Ballina) and of course a coffee grinder for the local brew.

Gourmet coffee gift baskets, why not? I’d love to receive one.

The type of treats that many people don’t buy for  themselves are great for a special treat from a friend or family member.

Jaws was on the tele last night.  I thought about it, but I didn’t watch it.  In fact I’ve never watched all or even most of it.

Living near the beach where every now and then a real live “Jaws” actually does take a lump out of an unwitting swimmer or surfer means I’d rather not be rattled by the movie.

However, having said that, everyone loves a good movie and movie themed gift baskets may just hit the right spot with the person you’re buying for.

What a good movie is varies from person to person and that’s the key to a great movie themed gift basket.

Some movies treats and snacks, a little reading matter and a DVD of a favorite movie – what gift could be better?

What should you put in executive gift baskets?

Hmm… well it depends how seriously your executive takes their position and how fun or serious you want to be in the giving as well.

It’s almost the start of a new year and it’s the right time for the serious executive to be tidying up their desk and setting out new nick knacks upon it, so desk organisation type items will be welcome in any executive gift basket.

A couple of little snacks, a calendar to suit the personality and maybe even a Dilbert item will finish off this themed gift basket nicely.

What’s in Italian themed gift baskets?

Good food and good wine (red, of course) is my idea of a great Italian themed gift basket (though I haven’t had a drink in 3 years, a girl can still fantasize)

Red wine, pasta, interesting little biscuits, crackers and fantastic cheeses would be a heavenly gift basket for any occasion. A nice photo book of the Italian countryside or an Italian cookbook would round out the gift hamper for me.

Can you believe that Gorgonzola cheese was banned as an import in Australia for many years until quite recently? Thankfully the authorities came to their senses and we can now enjoy this amazing Italian export without traveling to Europe.

Are you searching for the best christmas gift basket idea?

Take a moment or two to write a few things down.

Who is the Christmas gift basket for?

• Adult (friend, spouse, lover, frenemy…)
• Child (boy, girl, age, interests?)
• Family or
• Group of friends or colleagues.

What are you going to use for an appropriate themed container for your gift basket?

How are you going to fill that container?

• Food
• Drink
• Reading matter
• Toys
• Games
• DVDs

What sort of wrapping will keep it all together and looking specially good?

And finally, how are you going to get the basket to the people.

None of these things are a big problem on their own, but taken together, you may be better off buying a themed gift basket for your Christmas recipient and be done with the stress.

This is a great idea for gift baskets for men. If you are after the best gift for a guy, you cannot go wrong with sports themed gift baskets, unless of course, you totally ignore the sports your man is interested in and foist the stuff you love on them.

Whether your guy loves to play sport or watch sport, there is going to be a sport that takes his fancy.

Even my husband who is not a team sports person and hates watching football on TV (and has absolutely no idea what the meaning or purpose of cricket could possibly be) – even he loves sports themed gift baskets.

Because he loves competitive sports; motor and motor bike racing, the Tour de France, the gym.

Truly, when you think about it, gift baskets for men don’t come much simpler to work out than sports themed gift baskets.

Retired or rather retiring people are not what they used to be.

Nowadays, people are retiring older (if at all) with many more material goods than previous generations and they really don’t need big gifts to make their retirement easier or more comfortable.

In Australia, most retirees buy themselves a campervan (I guess you’d call it an RV) and head of for the almost obligatory trip right round the whole outside of our vast country.

They have their computers and GPS and mobile phones and so on. But they still need a really nice gift to be sent off with.

A gift that looks impressive and bright and user friendly.  Something useful and consumable to be enjoyed and savored over a period of time.

Retirement gift baskets from either individuals or as a group given present are a really good idea. You can go specifically to themed gift baskets that really suit the retiree and guarantee a respectful send off.

I saw the most amazingly cute of get well soon gift baskets last week.

It was chicken soup themed. The basket itself was a huge replica Campbell’s Chicken Soup can and the items inside were tending to the chicken soup theme, with a couple of variations to spread the interest of the recipient.

What a fantastic idea for a themed gift basket.

Mind you while a “Jewish penicillin” style gift basket is all fine and dandy for many adults and teens, I couldn’t help thinking, what variation could you go for with a very young sick child?

How about a vegan version?

While laughter is not the only medicine, this type of themed gift basket, raising a few chuckles as it’s bound to, really can’t hurt the healing process.

In the first instance, decide whether your Christmas gift basket idea will be for an individual, a family or a number of friends or co-workers. Occasionally it’s nice to give and to receive a gift for a group of people that can be shared and enjoyed in each others’ company.

Secondly think about the size of your themed Christmas gift baskets and what you are able to spend to create a great gift basket.

Now, choose a theme for your gift basket.

If the receiver is a gourmet beer, wine or food lover it is simple to collect a number of attractive gift items in this category and place them together in a suitable container.

A gardener will always appreciate a range of small items that can be used in and to remind them of their flowers and plants.

Movie buffs will appreciate DVDs, popcorn and sweet treats.

Spa and pamper gift baskets are fantastic for a wide range of women (and men) those near and dear to your heart, new boyfriends or girlfriends, lifelong friends and even fairly casual acquaintances.

It is relatively easy to make – but even easier to buy – gift baskets that are themed by time of day (Breakfast gift baskets), country (Italian gift baskets) and even region (Texas gift baskets – they’d be the big ones, I guess!).

While gift hampers are great to give and receive no matter what’s in them, a themed Christmas gift basket can add zing to the occasion even more with a little thought about what type of foods or hobbies or activities your recipient really enjoys.

And while it is enormous fun to put together your own gift baskets, often it is less tricky (and more economical) to purchase a themed Christmas gift basket from a dependable online company who can make up and deliver to order at this hectic time of year.

Your theme can be centered around a person (fathers day gift baskets) or an event (Christmas gift baskets) or a style of contents (beer gift baskets).

Just about anything you can think of has been made into a themed gift basket that is pleasing to the eye, with items in it that are very useful and if food or drink, very tasty.

If you are buying for a group, as in a corporate gift basket, just ensure that you choose a basket allowing everyone to have an item or two each and maybe something each to take home for later. It should be large enough for all recipients to get a share of the treats.

Fun and festive and joyful.

Lots and lots of little treats and surprises over the Christmas period will keep the whole family smiling and laughing.

The concept of Christmas gifts are too often fraught with fear and frustration of what to buy for each member of the family and friendship group as well as for colleagues.

Getting Christmas gifts just right is too often a focus that takes away from the enjoyment, love and spiritual contentment that Christmas is meant to be about.

If you are agonizing already about your Christmas gift giving responsibilities, consider christmas gift baskets as an idea that can work for an individual or a number of people on your Christmas list.

You can make your own themed gift baskets and a Christmas gift basket idea that really works is to get into a department store and buy up lots of interesting Christmassy treats to share across any number of gift baskets or even stockings, but the headaches are gone if you buy your gift baskets ready made or made to order and delivered for you.
