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 which have [[fruit]] only, some with dry/canned goods only (such as [[tea]], [[Cracker (food)|crackers]] and [[jam]]) although the standard gift basket will have have a selection of both. Gourmet gift baskets are very similar to the standard gift basket, although it will include more unusual/high end fruit, and often will have good quality [[cheese]] and [[wine]] included. |
|||
Sometimes a gift basket will have themes, such as [[Christmas]], [[graduation]], [[birthday]], [[anniversary]], [[baby shower]], [[Housewarming party|housewarming]] and [[Valentine's Day]]. Often a basket will be made to suit the recipients' needs, such as [[diabetic]], [[vegan]]/[[vegetarian]], [[gluten intolerance]]. Gift Baskets do not need to include food and drink, although it is the most standard practice. |
