We’d all like to think that our gift baskets are appreciated, even coveted, but the truth is that many end up consigned to the back of cupboards – if they even make it any further than the nearest bin. Happily, just a little thought can avoid this scenario, and once you discover how to make gift baskets that are well-received, you’ll be able to do it again and again.
We’ve all seen the guy frantically shopping for a Valentine’s gift suitable for his frill-hating girlfriend – not easy when everything on offer is pink and cutesy – but much as it’s vital to consider the recipient, it’s as important to take into account the circumstances in which your gift basket will be opened if you want to achieve success.
If you’re giving your gift basket in a place where there’s no refrigeration and it will be a while before there’s any available, make sure that it contains no fresh food. While you should take advantage of unusual containers when preparing your basket, it should be possible to view the contents in their entirety so that the recipient knows if they need dealing with immediately.
Be sparing with glitter dustings and confetti if it’s likely to make an unwelcome mess – in the reception area at work, for example. Also be mindful of common allergies – the people who can’t even be around a peanut without courting disaster are rare, but the dryer-sheet you’ve tucked discreetly into your baby basket to give a scented lift could cause a nasty reaction in the person you most aim to please. featured article by Diana Lane
When figuring out how to make gift baskets that will actually be wanted, if you consider where they will be opened as carefully as you consider who will be opening them, you’ll find it hard to go wrong.
Gourmet (def) a connoisseur of the delicacies of the table. Of a standard required by a gourmet: first rate.
From the Old French for wine merchant's man
Hamper (def) a large basket... made from cane wickerwork etc.
When defining a Gourmet Hamper, perhaps it is best to relate to the root of the word where wine merchant's man is decribed. Can you picture a medieval wine salesman, travelling around the villages of southern France, meeting the local pastry chefs and supplying the local Inns with wine? And the experiences he would absorb as he shares with all manner of providores and shop owners who have presented him with their own fine food wares? This is where we are coming from we when think of gourmet.
