Gourmet Cookie Baskets Make Wonderful Gifts

By Lori Warner


Giving unique gift baskets for special occasions is hardly anything new. Whether these baskets are filled with gourmet cookies, wine or any other kind of specialty foods, they are among the most well received of gifts by any recipient.

While gourmet gift baskets of all kinds are always a hit, gift baskets filled with homemade gourmet cookies are one of the most popular of all. Just about everyone likes cookies and especially gourmet cookies, which are not the kind of thing that most of us would buy or bake for ourselves.

There is a very real kind of excitement that comes from unwrapping a gift basket, especially if it is a basket filled with lovingly crafted homemade cookies.

Better still, it is incredibly easy to tailor these unique gift baskets to the tastes of the recipient, including their favorites while omitting cookies that they do not like as much. You can also ensure that any food sensitivities or preferences are catered to as well. For instance, you can prepare a gift basket of dairy free or gluten free cookies for people with allergies or dietary restrictions or simply make a basket of just almond cookies for someone who loves this type of cookie above all else.

Whether it is to celebrate a promotion, for a holiday party, a wedding anniversary, graduation or anything else, everyone loves gourmet cookies and will enjoy your gift. You can also decide exactly how you want to decorate the basket; the only limits here are your creativity and to a lesser extent, your budget.

Combinations of favorite colors and treats will be sure to bring a huge smile on the face of the person who opens up the gourmet gift cookie basket and smells the heavenly aroma of deep chocolate and coconut or rich buttery shaped cookies with sour cream frosting. Gourmet gift baskets are worth giving all year long for any occasion!
