Perhaps you are facing a dilemma: you need to give a special family member, friend or work associate a lovely gift, but you are not sure what gift. You go online and there are so many choices that it is hard to know where to begin searching. There is one easy solution, however, that is sure to please everyone on your list, and that is a gift basket. Gift baskets make great gifts because of their versatility. They can be personalized to each recipient's particular tastes, can be designed around particular themes, and their presentation makes them a delight to receive.

One reason why gift baskets make such fantastic gifts is their ability to be arranged to each recipient's specific tastes. An empty basket is an open vessel waiting to be filled, and you can make sure each and every gift recipient is happy when you take advantage of personalized gift baskets. If you have a sports enthusiast on your list, for example, you can include sports-related gift items focused on this special someone's activity. It might be tennis or golf, or any host of other athletics, but a basket can hold several different accessories or supplies that will make your friend or relative smile with delight. Maybe you would like to pamper someone. One way to do that would be to give a gift basket that offers spa treatments, lotions, body creams and sponges, and other special items that your friend would especially enjoy.

Gift baskets also make great gifts because they can be arranged around a particular theme. Some common themes include holidays, events, and even colors. Let's say it is Easter, and you would like to give some children lovely Easter holiday gift baskets. The holiday of Easter sets the theme of the basket, and items such as chocolate rabbits and eggs, marshmallow chicks, and other confections can go inside the basket. Also plush toys such as rabbits and chicks make enjoyable additions. Pastel colors are often associated with spring, and the season in which Easter falls, so you might opt for the candy and toys to be in pastel colors. Finally, you can select your recipient's favorite colors and use them as a focus for not only the gift items in the basket, but also for the colorful wraps, ribbons and bows, as well as gift cards.

Another example of why gift baskets make an outstanding gift is that they are gorgeous to look at even before you open them up. You can go all out with presentation. Color-coordinated ribbons and bows allow you to layer on colors, and achieve a richer overall effect. No matter who gets the gift, they will be delighted with your thoughtful gift basket.
