Gourmet Food Gift Baskets

When a friend or business colleague has reason to celebrate, often the first thing we think of to send are flowers. Now, flowers are lovely: they're the traditional way to say thanks or "thinking of you." But flowers please only two senses: the eyes, and the nose, and even then the pleasure is fleeting.

Simple or Luxe, Always Impressive

For the same amount of money one might spend on even a simple arrangement of daisies, sweet-peas and baby's breath, an impressive gourmet food basket from Van's Gifts could be delivered to the same friend's door. Gourmet food baskets, like many of our popular gift baskets feature fruit candies, almond roca, chocolate bon bons and ginger spice cookies--all made by famous gourmet food purveyors. It's delivered in a graduating stack of charmingly decorated fish-motif gift boxes, tied together with gold and blue ribbons.

High end options also exist. For the true gourmand, there's high end wine gift baskets, beautiful oversized wicker baskets overflowing with wine and savory items. One wine basket features three fine, excellently reviewed California wines--a merlot, a fume blanc, and a cabernet, for instance--nestled alongside smoked salmon, Camembert cheese, champagne and hazelnut truffles, sourdough bread rounds, olive tapenade, and fine European chocolates and confections. Impressive it sounds, and impressive it is!

Plus, at $150, it costs less than a high-end bouquet would from an exclusive florist. Van's Gifts features over 100 unique ways to express your feelings to friends, loved ones, and business colleagues. After all, a rose, is a rose, is a rose; gift baskets are a feast.
