When one puts together a gift basket, you are creating a one-of-a-kind gift; a gift that is truly personalized for the recipient as well as for the occasion.

Planning Kitchen Gift Baskets

What kind of cooking or baking does the recipient enjoy? Maybe he or she is a beginner in the kitchen and wants to learn how to make a favorite food.

You may want to decorate kitchen gift baskets for a holiday, birthday, etc. Choose a container, use colors, or decorative items that will indicate the event or theme.

If you are working within a limited budget, you may want to visit my Cheap Gift Baskets web page for lots of tips and frugal ideas.

Another option is to include homemade food items or mixes in your gift basket. You can find dozens of recipes at my Gifts From The Kitchen web page.

Who doesn't enjoy a homemade muffin on occasion? This is a nice (and unusual) theme, which would be perfect for the beginning baker. A wicker or wire basket is the ideal container; add shredded brown paper as a filler that will help hold the gift items in place. Include gifts such as measure cups, measuring spoons, cupcake papers, muffins mixes, pot holders, and a tea towel. Individual silicone muffin cups are readily available in many colors and would make a lovely gift addition.

There are many other baking themes; bread, cookies, pies, etc. Instead of the traditional basket, consider using a mixing bowl, bread pan, or pie pan as the container. Line it with a pretty terry cloth towel and fill it with appropriate gift items. Small cookbooks are always nice or handwritten recipe cards with your favorite recipes.

Since everyone eats salads, they make useful kitchen gift baskets also. Use a salad bowl or a colander for the container. Line it with a decorative kitchen towel and fill it with gifts like salad dressing mixes, tongs, wooden spoons, a pepper grinder, cheese grater, garlic press, bacon bits, small bottles of olive oil and gourmet vinegar, croutons, or any other items used in salad making.

This web site has many specific pages dedicated to specific food or beverage Theme Gift Baskets that will suit your needs, I'm sure.
