Gourmet Gift Baskets for Foodies
If you are like most people you have at least a few “foodie” friends or family members. Foodies are people who love gourmet food and pay special attention to what they eat. Foodies love to cook, and they love gourmet foods or exotic foods. Gourmet gift baskets are the perfect gifts for your foodie friends and family for birthdays, holidays, and other occasions. For someone that loves food a basket full of exotic or gourmet treats will provide many great meals and will also give them bragging rights with their friends for each gourmet item in the basket. Here are the most common types of gourmet foods contained in gourmet gift baskets:
Fancy jams, jellies and preserves – fresh citrus fruit marmalade made from Clementine oranges or other premium fruits, or sweet Honeybell preserves with pieces of candied peel are the types of preserves that are often found in gourmet baskets. These delicious treats are great for breakfast or spread on scones for a snack. Because preserves keep well they can be enjoyed and shared for a long time. Handmade preserves in glass jars or preserves from small independent company are especially popular among foodies.
Chocolates – There are hundreds of different types of gourmet chocolate. Small batch chocolate, organic chocolate, or chocolate mixed with exotic spices like cardamom, black pepper, wasabi and other rose are very popular and often are found in gourmet gift baskets. Dark chocolate bars as well as traditional truffles and other chocolate confections combined with fresh citrus fruit makes for a delicious gift basket that any foodie would love.
Nuts – Premium nuts are a gourmet gift basket staple. Not everyone can have nuts, so be sure that your friends and family members are not allergic to nuts or nut products before sending them a gourmet gift basket that has nuts. Gourmet baskets of assorted nuts are also a great thing to have on hand at parties and events for guests to munch on.
Baked goods – Gourmet cookies are a very popular item in gourmet gift baskets. Small batch made artisanal cookies, brownies, breads and bars using rare or expensive ingredients are exactly the type of foods that foodies love. These delicious treats are sometimes available made with ingredients that are vegan, or gluten free for foodies that may choose to follow a vegan diet or have other dietary needs that prohibit them from eating a certain food item.
