Top 5 Times to Send a Food-Themed Gift Basket

Gift giving can be a challenge. Maybe you need something for a buddy you haven’t seen since college or a coworker who is having her first baby. No matter the occasion, gift baskets can solve your “what to get?” dilemma in a thoughtful way.

Adding food and snacks can make gift baskets especially practical too. Here are the top five times to send a food-themed gift basket.

New Baby

This is a no-brainer. New babies can bring sleepless nights, hectic schedules, and no time for grocery shopping, let alone cooking. Meal gift baskets can help by bringing all the ingredients for a great meal together in a decorative package.

Thank You

They helped you when you needed it, and now you want to say thank you. A personalized selection of goodies is a fantastic way to let your friends know how much their help means to you.

New Job or Promotion

When a friend or loved one gets a new job or a promotion, it’s one of those times you know you should get a gift, but you may not really know what to get. Take some responsibility off their plate by sending a food-themed gift basket.  Having a pre-planned meal ready to go can come in especially handy after a long day at the office.

Hospital Stay or Illness

Food might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you are shopping for a get-well present. It can be a great idea, however, especially when the patient has a family at home to take care of.

New Home

Whether it’s a first apartment, new house, or retirement villa, a move can be crazy and stressful. Take some of that pressure off your friends by making sure at least one of the first meals in their new home is already planned.

Gift baskets make excellent and thoughtful presents. Consider adding a complete meal kit for occasions when the recipient may be short on time, and your gift will certainly be a hit.
