What interesting things are packaged in Valentine gift baskets?

If you are like me, the day after New Year’s Eve is when you start thinking about what to get your sweetie for Valentine’s Day. This year I think I might get her two nice big Valentine gift baskets.

Like many other folks, I have been aware of the gift basket phenomenon, but I have not had a reason to take a closer look at the baskets and the absolute limitless variety of items that are packaged in one of these baskets. I recently spent some time browsing the internet and eBay and I was positively amazed.

You can order a basket stuffed with massage oils and other massage items, but did you know that you can get baskets with bath soap, lip balm, body lotion, aromatherapy things, and other stuff from Bath & Body? One basket came packaged with pink grapefruit body lotion. There are gift baskets with nothing but Avon products. I guess women like smelly soaps and things like this. I don’t know about you, but if someone gave me a gift basket with soap in it, well, I wouldn’t exactly know what to think about that. Do I smell?

You can buy your lover a Victoria’s Secret gift basket. It includes a $20 gift card she can use to purchase the panties that actually fit her, rather than the lacy pair included in the basket.

Since we are talking about naughty stuff, I found one gift basket that includes a “Naughty Journal”, whatever that is. Other baskets come packaged with nothing but romance novels.

Wine, tea, coffee, and champagne are popular gift basket items. For only $129 you can buy a basket containing a bottle of Dom Perignon. (Sorry, the Cristal gift basket is sold out.) What about beer, you ask? I did not find one single gift basket that contained any kind of beer–what a shame.

Food. How would you like a Valentines gift stuffed with cheese and crackers? (Hopefully not the smelly cheese.) You can get a gift basket with ice cream in it. One basket comes with a candy jar in the shape of a cupcake. Maybe the candy jar is to hold the chocolate.

Chocolate is so common, my informal survey found that 90% of the baskets come with at least one piece of chocolate. There are chocolate kisses, chocolate bars, hot chocolate, chocolate roses, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and every other type of chocolate thing imaginable. Even the basket stuffed with smelly bath soap had space for a few chocolate kisses. I think chocolate is the second most popular Valentine’s gift–roses are most popular.

There are baskets filled with many different types of roses. How many different rose “things” can you fit in a basket? There are real roses, of course, but there are also feather roses, roses made of bath soap, glass roses, gold plated roses, chocolate roses, candy suckers in the shape of roses, plastic roses, roses made of paper, and on and on and on…

By now, dear reader, I think you get my point. It is possible to get literally anything you want in a gift basket for your Valentine. Like I said earlier, I will be buying my sweetie two nice gift baskets on eBay–one of them with a stuffed teddy bear and a feather rose and heart made of chocolate. The other basket will be the one with the smelly bath soaps. I’m sure I’ll find the perfect basket, there are bound to be hundreds listed with delivery in time for Valentine’s Day. Why don’t you buy your Valentine gift baskets on eBay too?

Customize Your Own Holiday Gift Basket

December is quickly approaching, and many people have no idea what to get their loved ones, co-workers, friends and acquaintances for the holidays. Most people frantically search every inch of numerous department stores, malls and outlet shopping centers, poring through over-crowded product displays for the perfect gift. It is no surprise that the congested traffic, erratic shopping hours and busy stores leave many people burned out by the time December rolls around.

How can you avoid the chaotic shopping rush while still finding the perfect gifts for all of the important people in your life? Is there a way to avoid the holiday rush while still finding the right gifts for you friends and family?

Holiday gift baskets are the ideal gift for even the choosiest of employees, friends or family members. Many of these baskets include meats, cheeses, chocolates, jams, cakes, cookies and mints. With such a wide selection of holiday gift baskets to choose from, you can undoubtedly find the right basket for your gift recipients.

Why are holiday gift baskets so popular among gift-givers?

  • They’re convenient. Many holiday gift baskets can be ordered online or through the telephone.

Ordering through a company’s Web site is quick and convenient for the user.

  • They’re versatile. Gift baskets can be specially ordered to suit a variety of personal tastes and preferences. Almost everyone enjoys crackers, cookies, meats and nuts. A holiday gift basket can please even the most discriminating gift recipient of any age. No matter which types of gifts your loved ones or friends prefer, you can find the right gift basket for them. From a ladies pampering basket to a Pittsburgh-themed basket, holiday gift baskets make an ideal gift for loved ones, co-workers, employees and friends.

  • They’re flexible. You can always add more items or remove products from your gift basket to suit your gift recipient. Buying a holiday basket for a sports lover? You may want to add a sports DVD or tickets to a football game. Looking for ways to add to a holiday gift basket for a movie connoisseur? Include passes to your local theater. By creatively tailoring your basket to suit your gift recipient’s personal tastes, you will ensure that their gift is both unforgettable and meaningful.

They are aesthetically-pleasing. Gift baskets are always colorful, attention-grabbing and festive-looking. Holiday gift basket designers know how to correctly place gift items like chocolate, coffee, pretzels and nuts into a basket to give it a professional appearance.

Help! I want to make a gift basket for a friend for Valentine’s day. What should I put in it?

We do a secret cupid thing at my work and the person I drew is a good friend. What can I put in a gift basket for her? I am not supposed to spend more than $15, but I already have the basket. She said her and her husband will not be doing anything for the special day because of the kids sports. I was kind of thinking a “spa” type of basket. I think she is on a diet so not to much candy or sweerts. Any Ideas? What would you like in a gift basket from a friend?
Or maybe a healthy snack basket? Dried fruit, nuts, granola, tea and dark chocolate?

Scented tea lights, and some lotions, soaps? Or maybe some pretty note pads, some gel pens, and miscellaneous desk stuff, on the “fluffy” side, that she wouldn’t normally buy herself.

what can i put in this gift box?

hi all, i am planning on getting my best man and maid of honour (theyre married) a trip to london as a thank you for being so great to us through the planning and generally being amazing friends. We are struggling to find good ideas to put in there tho, please help, so far we have:

- train tickets down there
- hotel for the night
- tickets to see billy elliot in the west end (she has always wanted to do this)
- a bottle of wine
- chocolates (for a romantic night in the hotel without kids!)
- and a card saying thank you

but i would like some quirky ideas as little extras….. i am going to put a london tourist guide in too but cant buy that until the new year so its relevant haha!

thank you

Wow, this is the best gift i have ever heard of! Great Idea.
I don’t think there is really anything else you can put in there. Maybe some candles for their romantic night and a disposable camera to take photos of their trip. x :-)
