Gourmet gift baskets
Gourmet gift baskets can be very specialized. For instance, Italian
gift baskets contain authentic Italian food made from old world Italian
recipes that were used in a less hectic time. Breakfast gift baskets
feature award winning gourmet foods with special syrups, jellies, and
jams. Don’t forget the gift for the chocolate lover. Savor the
sweet taste of the finest chocolates made in exotic locales.
An example of very fine gourmet gift baskets is a bottle of 1999 Dom
Perignon, the champagne of kings, with Beaulieu Vineyard Private Reserve
Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley and Beringer Private Reserve Chardonnay.
Saraivanov salmon, brie cheese spread, roasted almonds, Beefeater olives,
and almond biscotti complement the fine choice of wines. This type of
basket is usually given only by the upper economic class and reserved
for very special occasions.
Other interesting gourmet gift baskets are for the serious coffee lover.
Inside, the recipient will find 10 to 15 exotic coffees and an assortment
of hazelnut and french vanilla coffees, chocolate macadamia biscotti
and gourmet cookies. These kinds of coffees are not for just in the
morning. They make excellent “anytime” coffees but are especially
tempting for an after dinner drink.
