12 Gifts that Go in Baskets

June 25, 2008 · Filed Under Products and Supplies 

There’s lots of focus on gift basket foods and snacks, but what about gift items?

Gifts are a welcomed addition in every basket.

Baby, corporate, and personal gift items were my first pick as inventory because I wasn’t sure about food laws in my state.

I was determined to start selling, so instead of buying foods, which may have been against the law, I began by offering customers gift items in unique containers.

Some of those items included:

  • Spa products
  • Mugs
  • Photo frames
  • Tea cups and saucers
  • Paperweights
  • Baby products
  • Kitchen utensils
  • Sports items
  • Stationery
  • Coasters
  • Switchplates
  • Pet accessories
  • When you begin attending trade shows this summer, consider complementing snacks with gift products. Recipients will treasure the gifts long after the foods are gone.

    Before taking my advice, make sure that gift items will be appreciated by clients and receivers. Perhaps people in your region are more likely to buy all-food baskets rather than food and gift collections. Stick to the plan that sells your baskets.
