Wine and cheese gift baskets are very popular and show good taste, as well as a basket of chocolate or even the original idea of adding fruit.
These baskets can be made to fit your budget, so if you are feeling a bit gracious, you can by all means, spend more money on the basket.
However, if you would like something nice, but more with a smaller budget in mind, these can be custom-made as well.
You can have a basket made from numerous different materials such as wicker, bamboo, wood and some may even be made of woven paper.
