Not another boring gift basket! No one wants that response when their gift is received, especially at Christmastime. Some people feel gift baskets are old-fashioned and tedious, a gift for when you’re unsure of what to give. Christmas gift baskets often conjure memories of stale crackers, dry cheddar cheeses, and tasteless summer sausages. Remember the gift baskets full of food items with brand names no one recognized? They were filled with goodies like jams, spreads, peanut brittle, cookies, candies, pretzels, popcorn and more that didn’t get eaten.
