Holiday Gift Basket Ideas to Create Memories

Looking for more Christmas gift basket ideas? Get a ready-to-go breakfast gift basket, or put together your own meat & cheese gift baskets. For decades, The Swiss Colony has developed the favorite holiday food gifts for millions!

We’ve already shown you why food gift baskets are some of the most popular—and appreciated—holiday gifts. In that article, we focused mainly on desserts and chocolates; now, let’s look at other Christmas gift basket ideas that will be big hits this holiday season with friends and family.

Breakfast Gift Baskets

We always hear that breakfast is the most important meal of the day; who knew it would also make a fabulous gift? The reason is that, in this hustle-and-bustle world, people love to slow down and enjoy some of life’s simple pleasures and comforts…like enjoying a hearty weekend breakfast in our pajamas. This is especially true when the family gathers for the holidays.

Food shopping online will reveal a wide selection of breakfast foods in gift baskets and boxes. You’ll find pancake mixes and syrups, plus a variety of breakfast meats: ham, sausage…and no one needs to tell you how popular bacon is today. In fact, that may be a key reason breakfast gift baskets are so hot today. For coffee lovers, look for a basket with a “blend” of fresh-ground flavors!

Today, when so many families are separated by hundreds—or even thousands—of miles, not everyone can be together for the holidays. Sending a thoughtful breakfast gift basket lets everyone wake to the aromas of coffee and bacon, and will make you part of the celebration even when you can’t be there.

Meat & Cheese Gift Baskets

If you’re looking for a great gift for the foodie, cheese has never been more popular! Cheese and wine tastings are a new entertaining trend, and cheese gift baskets are fantastic DIY gifts. Just order a selection of cheeses online along with a cutting board or slicer, find a decorative basket and prepare to amaze.

Summer sausage and cheese are natural partners, too, especially when everyone’s watching football and sharing good cheer…and they’ll really perk up that wine-tasting. Meat and cheese gift baskets and boxes have been very popular food gifts for decades, and are definitely trending upward. Those delicious foods shared with family and friends help create moments and memories.

Holiday Gift Baskets with Style

Some of the best Christmas gift baskets aren’t baskets at all. Flat gift boxes are easier to ship, and you can even find impressive gift towers composed of several individually wrapped boxes stacked and tied together with ribbon. Talk about a time-saver! You can shop in the comfort of your home, find a wealth of Christmas gift basket ideas online, and have them wrapped beautifully and delivered right to the recipient’s door.

So remember, when you’re looking for Christmas baskets, keep your mind open to other possibilities. As they say, it’s the thought that counts…and with just a little thought in selecting your Christmas gifts online, you can send a gift that will always be remembered.
