Interesting Holiday Gift Baskets

By Elba Fenwick


Gift baskets are popular holiday gift items. They are a great way to say thanks to a special client or company with whom you do business and they are easy to order and send to loved ones that do not live nearby. Sometimes, though, the choices seem a bit uninspired and ordinary, such as a bland fruit basket or a tin filled with processed cheeses and meats. This year, make the holidays truly special and give people the gift of a spectacular and unique gift basket. Here are just a few ideas.

They holidays are time of happy indulgence and what better way to indulge than with chocolate? Chocolate Pizza Company offers some amazing, gourmet treats that are definitely out of the ordinary. Their specialty is creating gourmet chocolate pizzas, which they actually present in a real pizza box. Imagine the delight of family, friends or clients when they receive this special gift. The pizzas are created by mixing the finest gourmet chocolate (milk or dark) with English-style toffee, all of which they make on the premises by hand. Once the "crust" has been created, a myriad of toppings can be added. There is also a divine white chocolate version made from the best white chocolate, dried cranberries and slivered almonds.

Chocolate Pizza Company offers a variety of gift towers and gift baskets featuring their signature pizzas as well as other fun treats. The Chocolate Super Combo is a fantastic gift and includes a large milk chocolate pizza and small dark chocolate pizzas as well as two tubs of Peanut Butter Wings. The wings are created by blending crispy potato chips with creamy peanut butter and dipping this mixture into dark or milk chocolate. Another great gift basket is their "Dreaming in Chocolate" basket which features Peanut Butter Wings, three slices of chocolate pizza, chocolate covered pretzels and potato chips, assorted truffles and much more. There are many other options, but you can also call Chocolate Pizza Company and create your own custom basket.

Another delicious idea would be to send a gift basket featuring beverages rather than food items. Obviously, there are quite a few companies out there selling wine baskets, but you also can find beer gift baskets and whiskey-themed gift baskets. For a non-alcoholic treat, you could create a gift basket filled with a variety of unique soft drinks and root beers. Coffee baskets or tea baskets are a few other options to think about.

If your gift basket recipient is a guy, there are some very interesting gift baskets on the market just for men. One company packs its items in manly looking crates and offers options suitable for many different interests, including fishermen, poker players, barbecue experts, golfers and much more. There are also fancy shaving kit baskets, baskets filled with items featuring sports team logos and more.

For women, consider a basket that will ensure that they enjoy some luxurious pampering, such as a deluxe spa basket with a fluffy robe, some bubble bath and a CD of relaxing music. If your loved one enjoys cooking, a basket filled with high-end utensils and cooking gear is sure to be appreciated. You could even purchase a fitness basket with a cool workout outfit, a water bottle, a gym towel and maybe a sports watch.
