A gift basket , or fruit basket is typically a gift that is delivered to the recipient at their home or workplace. There are different varieties of gift baskets. Some contain fruit only and others contain only dry or canned foods such as tea, crackers and jam, but the typical gift basket will have have a selection of both. Gourmet gift baskets are very similar to the standard gift basket, although they typical include more unusual or high-priced fruits, and often include good quality cheese and wine. Nonfood items often are also included.
Gift baskets for occasions
Sometimes, a gift basket will have a theme, such as Christmas, graduation, birthday, anniversary, baby shower, housewarming, or Valentine's Day. A basket can be made to suit the recipients' needs, such as diabetic, vegan/vegetarian, or gluten intolerance.
