Give A Delicious Food Gift
Selecting a good gift can be stressful and confusing. Maybe you have a good idea but just aren't sure about what size or color to choose. Forget about play guessing games with gifts of clothes and gadgets. Take the pressure off yourself and give easy food gifts. With so many different kinds of food gifts available you'll never give the same gift twice. Tap into the universal sweet tooth or appeal to the cheese and wine lover a delicious filled basket. Try some of our ideas for easy food gifts.
Recipe Gifts
Inexpensive yet caring recipe gifts make easy gift ideas. For this present you'll gather all the supplies needed to whip up a gourmet recipe and tuck them into a basket. This is a fun idea for the aspiring cook. Use a large wicker basket to tuck in any special cooking utensils, spices and pots that are needed. Wrap the whole thing up with cellophane and tie it off with a ribbon. Tuck a wooden spoon in the ribbon and attach the recipe on a 3 by 5 card. Keep in mind that perishable items like meat and dairy should be left out of the basket. Just list the needed ingredients on the back of the recipe card.
Candy Treats
If you have a knack for making sweet treats then your gift idea is a wrap! Make some divinity, fudge or other sweet snack and tuck it into a pretty box for giving. Tie it up with a fun and festive ribbon for added flair. Cooking isn't required, though. Visit your local bakery for some delicious gourmet cookies or candy. Tuck them inside a holiday tin. Or drop some cookies into a decorated cellophane bag. Chocolate-covered apples also fall under the easy food gift category. You can find candy apples at your local grocer or floral shop.
International Baskets
Easy food gifts are limitless if you think internationally. For the Italian food lover load a basket with some Italian bread, flavored dipping oils, tasty olives and some dried meats. Top off this gourmet basket with a small bottle of red wine. Make your basket Greek with fresh pita, delicious hummus and some baklava. Give a Mexican snack basket with some tortilla chips, salsa and queso dip. Add some fresh fruit and you've got a fun south of the border gift. Lay a cloth tablecloth inside your basket with few cloth napkins for a touch of elegance.
