 My Thoughts

For me, the hardest part of holiday shopping is getting gifts for family members who live far away. I'm located in New Jersey, but I have family in Ohio, Georgia, and even LA. Trying to find gifts for all of them, wrapping them, and shipping them is just too much of a hassle. So I look for companies that offer beautiful gift baskets like the ones you can find at Gourmet Gift Baskets. You just pick the perfect basket from their huge holiday selection, and Gourmet Gift Baskets will send your gift on its way, saving you both time and money.

We were sent a few of the  holiday gift baskets to try out, and they are awesome. Each one is loaded with tons of tasty treats including peanut brittle, toffee, hot chocolate, jams, and chocolate covered pretzels, to name only a few. All the items stay fresh for months and are individually wrapped so there is no worry about them holding up during the shipping process.  Many of the baskets come with decorative accessories or containers with a  holiday theme.  With prices starting as low as $20, these baskets are a reasonably priced gift that will save you time and aggravation but will also make the recipient very happy.

I also got to try out some of their tasty gourmet flavored popcorn . It comes in nine different varieties that taste like all your Thanksgiving favorites. There's everything from turkey to pumpkin pie. Personally, I enjoyed the dessert varieties the most, but the garlic potatoes and cranberry were tasty too.  All of the flavors just melt in your mouth and each comes in its own bag. They offer the perfect combination of salty and sweet so all your cravings can be satisfied. This would definitely make a unique addition to the table on Thanksgiving. The package even comes with its own plastic serving cups.

Of course,  the gifts at Gourmet Gift Baskets are not just limited to the winter holidays.
No matter what the occasion, you 're sure to find the perfect gift for any personality. They have congratulations baskets, fruit baskets,  baby gifts, and even Tex-Mex Baskets.
