Anyone selling an alcoholic beverage (beer, wine or spirits) must have a license issued by the appropriate State liquor control agency, and that includes putting these products in gift baskets for sale. Sales without a license, at least in California, is a misdemeanor that can result in criminal penalties. Ouch! No one wants that. Good to raise awareness of this issue.

It's better to focus on what can be included rather than what's excluded. From there, you can promote and sell more to the people who enjoy selecting and giving the extraordinary gifts you create.

Home based gift basket businesses are flirting with danger if they elect to add alcoholic products to their gift baskets--and this includes chocolates filled with liquer.
