Novel Gift Baskets for a Day Out

Seneca, the famous Roman philosopher, once said, “A gift consists not in what is given or done, but in the intention of the giver or doer.” No wonder why it is extremely important to consider to whom you are giving the gift and for what reasons. Buying a gift for someone involves consideration of a number of factors and the giver's intention behind the gift is probably the most important of them all.  

If you are looking for gift basket ideas for a day out, food gift baskets would be the ideal option. Starting from gourmet delights, chocolates and cookies, to organic fruits and items meant for people with dietary restrictions (such as gift baskets for diabetics), you will have a lot of variety to choose from. You may even handpick some preferred items of your recipients to create a customized gift basket that would help him/her enjoy the outdoors while munching on some delicious food items.    

  • Wine and Beer Gift Baskets – No occasion is ever complete without popping a bottle of tasty wine! Consider picking up a basket that has world famous wines, perfectly combined with gourmet delights like crispy and crunchy crackers, robust cheddar cheese. Be it the Classy Wine and Cheese Gift Basket that packs a pinot grigio and a cabernet sauvignon, along with cheese, focaccia crisps, olives and almonds; or the Bountiful Vineyard Gift Basket that includes three bottles of delicious wines besides sweet onion crackers, deluxe mixed nuts (from Torn Ranch, Sonoma Jacks Parmesan Peppercorn Cheese and LeGrand 6 piece Truffles) you can’t go wrong with these gifts. If you would like to stick to convention, you can also think of beer gift baskets that include the tastiest craft beers as well as the most popular brews of the world.
  • Coffee Gift Baskets –Most people can’t do without their daily dose of coffee. If your recipients too have a penchant for coffee, you can buy coffee gift baskets to help them enjoy their cup even on a day out. Coffee themed gift baskets like Coffee Supreme or Coffee to Go Gift Basket that pack gourmet coffees along with delicious cookies and chocolates are ideal options for coffee enthusiasts.
  • Chocolate Gift Baskets– If your intended recipients are chocolate lovers and serious chocoholics or anything in between, you can take your pick from chocolate gift baskets. The assortment of chocolate-covered treats and chocolate bars can excite the recipient. These delicious items will be the right choice to quell any chocolate craving on a day out.
  • Sport Gift Baskets– No day out can be complete without a round or two of some sports where almost everybody chips in. By picking some sports gift baskets, help your recipients plan interesting sporting activities. From clay shooting and paintballing to golf, football and rugby, you can find many gifts that pack gears and equipment for such sports. Some sports gift baskets also include snacks, crackers and munchies to replenish the energy and satiate the taste buds of the sportsmen, which could be your ideal gift baskets for a day out.

Most gift baskets for a day out are packed with foods and delicious items as gift givers often say – our day out wish to you, less dishes to do. But if you want to give the common gifts like chocolates, cookies and other food items a miss, you can still take your pick from the ones mentioned above. Your objective should be to choose gifts that can help your recipients have an enjoyable day out. Therefore, send gift baskets for a day out that can let your recipients have a little mini party in style.
