Gourmet Gifts

Creating gift baskets has been our livelihood and business for the last 13 years, and we’re always on the lookout for new types of gift baskets and gourmet goodies to include in them. We love to receive feedback from our loyal customers, and we noticed that more and more shoppers were asking for dinner gift baskets, filled with all the fixings for a delicious night in. We value this great feedback, and lo and behold, we’re happy to announce the addition of our new Meal Gift Baskets section!

We taste test all of the tasty treats inside our gift baskets (and oh yes, we love our jobs!), and we were licking our lips over the delicious appetizers, dinners, and desserts in our meal gift baskets. Let’s take a gander at some of our most popular meal gift baskets so far – but be sure to check back soon, as we’re always adding more!

Grandma’s Pantry Meal Gift Basket – Grandma always seems to have a little of everything in her pantry, doesn’t she? This is a robust gift basket that’s perfect for a big family, or a hungry one! It starts out with mozzarella cheese bars and baked potato soup, and transcends into an evening of angel hair pasta and gourmet sauce, a make your own pizza kit for eight slices, lemon bars, blueberry muffin mix, hand decorated cookies, and Irish crème coffee! We think that’s enough food for dinner for even two nights!

Gourmet Pizza Making Kit – A love for pizza tends to be that common dominator connecting most of us. Our make your own pizza kit features a mozzarella cheese bar, pizza kit for eight slices, sliced pepperoni, pizza stone set, an oven mitt, and an oven hot pad. It’s so much fun to make pizza at home and create your own topping varieties, and we think it’s just the thing for couples and families to bond over!

Hearty Chili Fixins Dinner Gift Basket – Enjoying a bowl of chili on a frosty winter day is so welcome! This meal gift basket includes two biscotti, corn bread, chili fixins, Wisconsin cheddar cheese triangles, gourmet crackers, amaretto cheesecake cheeseball dessert mix, hand decorated cookies, and vanilla crème coffee. Now simply enjoy watching the snow gently fall outside your home’s windows as you relax with a great meal and your loved ones!

Soup Bones Meal Gift Basket – Meal gift baskets are such a practical holiday gift idea, and if your gift recipient has a dog, include Fido in the gift, too! This soup-themed holiday gift basket includes roasted corn chowder soup, Wisconsin cheddar cheese triangles, wheat wafers, and a seasonal drink mix for the owner, and fresh, hand iced gourmet dog biscuits for Fido. Now the pooch in the family can have a treat to snack on while the rest of the family is enjoying soul-warming soups!

Meal Gift Baskets are going to be a popular holiday gift this year, as the gift of dinner is always a wonderful gift to give and receive. Our lives are so busy these days, so receiving a basket full of all the fixings for a hearty night in is the start of one fantastic evening. Happy holiday shopping from all of us at BisketBaskets.com!

It’s that time of year again. You’re planning out your Thanksgiving menu, whipping up those deliciously cheesy mashed potatoes, fluffing up the pillows in your guest bedroom, and…battling a case of the sniffles. First – Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at BisketBaskets.com! We’re so thankful to be in business for over 11 years strong, and we owe it all to our wonderful fans!

Now let’s get to the cold part. It’s never fun to have a cold, especially during the holidays. We’re based in Parker, Colorado, so we know a thing or two about how the cold, and stress of the holidays, can wreak havoc on your body. Here’s our BisketBaskets.com approved tips on fighting off that cold!

Vitamin C is Key: Vitamin C is important year round, but especially when you have a cold. Most people can only absorb about 250 to 500 mg a day, so be sure you’re taking adequate doses of Vitamin C when you’re sick, and continuing to throughout the year.

Sleep On It: Let’s face it, you’re busy trying to do all you possibly can during the holidays, resulting in less sleep than usual. You can’t turn back time when you’re sick, but you can rest and get some sleep now that you are sick. Do your best to always get about seven hours of sleep each night, and more when you have a cold.

Soothing Soups: Can chicken soup cure the common cold? Not exactly, but it sure can make you feel a lot better. Send a smile to a cold-stricken special someone in your life by surprising them with a Gourmet Soup Gift Basket, like our Comfort Soups Gift Basket, Country Christmas Soup Gift Basket, and our Soups On! Gift Basket. Soup gift baskets just seem to have that special dash of joy and happiness, just what you need when faced with a runny nose!

Call In Sick: Sure, calling in sick is a lot more fun when you’re not actually sick, but it’s important to dedicate yourself to getting better when you’re sick. By staying home from work, you’re decreasing the length of your cold, and also keeping your co-workers from getting sick. We give you full permission to spend the entire day on the couch watching talk shows and soap operas!

We hope you have a healthy holiday season free of colds, but if you do start coughing, you know just what to do! Consider Soup Gift Baskets your ticket to battling the achoos!

Wedding season is still in full swing and as we approach August, more and more wedding guests are starting to scramble to find the perfect gift. As you skim through catalogs and shop through stores, remember that you can always ask the special couple about a registry, which could really help you along in your search for the right gift. Most couples tend to register at various department stores so that wedding guests can avoid duplicating gifts, so be sure to ask around before you start to scramble. Who knows? Maybe you’ll be able to check off that wedding gift in just a few minutes by logging on and checking the online registry!

However, if you want to go beyond the registry and give the bride and groom something they can really enjoy, be sure to check out the Wedding Wishes Cookie Bouquet from BisketBaskets.com. This gorgeous and totally edible wedding gift features a stunning display of individually wrapped butter crème cookies that are hand decorated by our icing artists. As a special touch, you can also include a custom cookie message that wishes the bride and groom well. Trust us- they’ll just love this yummy and delectable treat!

Sure, a bouquet of roses looks beautiful and the gesture is always appreciated, but after about a week, they’re not always looking so pretty. A bouquet of delicious cookies on the other hand is just mmm and is a gift to delight both your senses and your stomach! This Valentine’s Day, check out the Red Roses Cookie Bouquet. You’ll be presenting your sweetheart with a deliciously sweet gift that looks breathtaking, too. We create each cookie by hand, ensuring it’s designed to look like a perfect red rose, and is about 3-5 inches in height (quite the cookie!). Enjoy, and remember, Valentine’s Day is fast approaching!

Teatime can be a great way to relax on the coldest of winter days. Besides being a ritual that invokes feelings of serenity, teatime possesses a culture all its own. Whether you prefer it to be social or personal, teatime can be just the thing you need to escape the winter doldrums.

Hosting teatime is easier than ever when you plan ahead. Start out by making cute invitations, then send them out to 5 to 7 of your closest friends. The more intimate you keep your group, the easier it’ll be to prepare snacks for.

Next, it’s time to plan the menu. Try looking at tea magazines or by visiting tearooms to get a glimpse of the type of fare that is typically served. Light sandwiches, salads, or soups are usually the norm, and of course there are always scones! Make sure you have plenty of scones or biscuits on hand for your tea party. In addition, remember to stock up on creams, butters, preserves, and other accoutrements. Finally, select your tea. Try to choose one that everyone in your party will like. Unsure? Try the staple: English Breakfast.

Now it’s time to host it! Decorate your dining area with delicate fabrics, colorful china, or even play dress up with feather boas and festive hats! This fun approach to tea time can make anyone feel young again!

Wishing to send some cheer to a faraway friend? BisketBaskets.com offers fantastic Tea Gift Baskets that you can send to someone who is feeling the drain of Jack Frost, but can’t take part in your tea time.

Kindness makes the world go round. If there’s someone you’d like to thank for doing something for you that meant so much, say it in a way that is unique, thoughtful, and memorable. Here are three great ways to say thank you to someone special in your life:

1.Write a Letter
Letters can be a personal expression of sincere gratitude. Show someone you care by sitting down and writing them a letter. Invest in some elegant stationary or a thank you card for an extra special touch. Be sure you spend time concentrating on your message. Receiving a letter is one of life’s simple joys, especially in a time where people can be so disconnected. Say “Thank You” and write a letter to someone you love.

2.Send a Gift Basket
Sending a gift basket that says “You’re Appreciated” can be a great way to express how much that person means to you. BisketBasket.com has a great selection of gift baskets that show how much their kindness meant. Filled with gourmet goodies, these baskets are perfect to let someone know that you’re thankful.

3.Treat Them To Dinner
Repay the favor by taking your guest out to dinner. Choose a restaurant that has their favorite type of food, or one that they’ve been dying to try. This new experience will be even more memorable if it has a bit of adventure. Try something new, whether it’s a featured wine or a specialty dish. Make sure to treat them to something special!
