Gift baskets are an excellent gift for many different occasions. There are so many reasons you might want to give someone a gift basket, including their birthday, Christmas, first day at a new job, or graduation. You may also want to give the gift of a shiva basket when someone you love is experiencing loss or grief.

No matter the reason, there’s a gift basket for every occasion and every type of person. Here are our five favorite gift baskets.

Give the gift of a gift basket

Gift baskets are a great way to say you care without putting together a huge gift for someone. You can create your gift baskets or buy them premade. Make a gift basket for someone you love is a fun and rewarding experience, as you get to pick out all the delicious items that go inside them.

However, there’s no shame in purchasing a prewrapped gift basket either. A prewrapped gift basket is just as good of a present, mainly because there are so many different options to choose from. You can give gift baskets to adults, teenagers, and even kids in your life. There are even gift baskets filled with toys that are perfect for children.

Some websites even allow you to customize your gift basket, picking out what goes inside before having it shifted off or delivered to your loved one.
