Don't you find that birthdays and Christmas's come around so fast and before you know it you need to come up with ideas for gifts. This can become very frustrating for most of us. Well, I have decided that a wine basket is a great idea to give to adults, especially those that seem to have everything.

This is especially good also for people that you do not know that well, like business associates or teachers and so on. Obviously you need to know that they drink wine first. All though wine is not the only thing you can put in a wine basket. I usually put chocolates, cheeses, nuts and dried fruits as well and sometimes I put in a couple of wine glasses to accompany the wine. Really it is up to you with what you would like to add.

You can make the basket as big or little as you wish and fill it with as much as you can afford. There are many shops where you can find baskets at a good price. Then you can wait to find wine or champagne on special if you are on a budget. Add whatever you wish and then cover with some clear cellophane and tie with a ribbon. What a beautiful gift you will end up with.

You can even choose a theme if you wish. Something different for everyone. For example instead of wine you could put in beer along with something sporty like tickets to a football game or a football cap, scarf and so on. For the businessman maybe a bottle of port with a tie, pen and a calculator. I mean the sky is the limit. You just need to use your imagination.

This concept can even be put into action for the non-drinker. Instead of a wine basket you can do a coffee or tea basket. You can add coffee mugs, cups and saucers, chocolates, biscuits and in fact anything that you like. You can buy baskets such as what I have described but I assure you it will be cheaper to do one yourself plus you have the liberty of putting together what you want in there and not just what the shop has put in.

Don't forget the children either as this concept is great for baby baskets along with baskets for small children through to teens. You just have to add what is appropriate for them and go from there. People love getting gifts like these as they look so grand and inviting.

There are so many occasions that involve gift giving and the wine basket idea is a great one to think about. Remember, apart from birthdays there is Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, weddings, engagements, anniversaries and housewarmings just to mention a few. All of these occasions are worthy of some kind of personalized basket. So, put your thinking cap on and go for it. You will be amazed at how creative you can be!
