What are the most popular items put into gift baskets?
The most popular items included in gift baskets are prepackaged foods such as popcorn, pretzels, chips and dips such as salsa, nuts, dried fruit, flavored mini hot or cold drinks, cookies, fudge and too many other products to mention. It is best to avoid items that are perishable especially if the basket has to be shipped. The recipient(s) should be notified if there is anything that can go bad, such as cheese or bread, when the gift is given to ensure that they refrigerate the items, or consume them quickly. Fruit is another item commonly found in gift baskets. Some baskets do not need food at all, such as baby baskets which commonly contain baby accessories and get well baskets which commonly include games and puzzles.
