2018 Is the Year for Giving Christmas Gift Baskets
We’re back here again, Christmas is almost here. It is that time of year where we make merry, enjoy ourselves in the spirit of togetherness and spend time with our loved ones.
While you may want to buy one singular gift for those special people in your life, it may well be worth your time to get a gift basket.
Gift baskets are a set of items usually centred around a particular theme into one basket and offered as gifts. Baskets have the advantage of grouping up multiple gifts together (and thus getting a discount on the basket itself) and, through wrapping, can offer a neat and thoughtful gift to the recipient.
Also, gift baskets take out the hassle of having to figure out which specific items you should add to the basket. This is obviously because the baskets come pre-filled with multiple objects surrounding the theme of the basket. The only work is figuring out which theme is best regarding who one is buying the basket for.
Furthermore, for all of us who wait till the very last minute to get Christmas gifts for our loved ones (or for those of us who just plainly forgot), then it may be a good idea to get something that won’t take up too much time. There are a lot of gift basket providers who actually offer same day delivery for their baskets. This could even serve as a perfect way to get a surprise gift for your loved ones.
There are countless options to choose from when picking out a gift basket for your loved ones, but we are only going to look at the best manner to find out which gift is best.
Perhaps you may be looking for a project for your mother who enjoys luxury in all its forms. This could be as something as grandiose as sipping expensive champagne as she gets a message on a spa day or even something as small as taking long refreshing baths. For this mum, you might want to think in 3 generic directions: pampering through bath – related gifts, pampering through skin care – related products and pampering through a spa.
For baths, you may want to consider gift baskets including organic soaps, hair care products such as moisturiser and hair strengthening products, organic shampoos and perhaps seal the deal with a plush robe. For skin care products, you may want to get a basket consisting of organic lotions as well as premium petroleum jelly. The spa basket may be formed as an amalgamation of the previous 2 hampers and some additional products. So perhaps one could pick bath – related product here as well as a skin care – related product there, then drop in a nail polish/ nail care set (and maybe a spa voucher) and you’re done.
A prime example of this would be a Body and Soul gift basket. This basket offers premium hand cream, socks, a small bottle of wine and even a gift card to top it all off.
Remember it’s all about presentation! Half of a gift basket is all about the packaging and wrapping of the product (if any), and so one should be careful when picking out a gift basket online. The question of how premium the packaging should be is a balance between the utility derived from the items within the basket and the price of obtaining the packaging itself. The higher the perceived utility the recipient gets from the items in the gift the less the need for premium packaging. But since it is that time for giving then one should strive for the premium packaging. Finally, make sure to include a Christmas card in your gift basket to add that extra personal touch.
Merry Christmas and have a lovely new year!
