When To Send Luxury Gift Baskets

Gift baskets come in all price ranges, from simple, fun gift hampers and cookie bouquets for under $50 to luxury gift baskets that cost $100 or more. If you have a loose gift budget, the selection in each price range might be intimidating. When should you go all out with a luxury gift basket? Clare’s Gift Baskets of Canada specialized in helping people send gift baskets to Canada that fit the occasion and even hosts a blog at to provide suggestions for gift basket purchases. Drawing from this experience, they’ve compiled the following advice about when to send a luxury gift basket.

A Tasty Executive Perk

Luxury gift baskets are practically the only choice when the recipient is a manager or other executive. Even in small businesses, leaders appreciate the extra effort because beyond the gift basket itself, choosing the luxury option demonstrates respect for his or her position. Luxury gift baskets also come wrapped with enough sophistication to occupy a place of pride at an executive’s desk. This is an important consideration because when your basket is likely to be on display, visible to visitors and other employees. A simple gift bag looks out of place. Finally, managers are likely to share these gifts with staff, so choosing a luxury gift basket with a wide variety of treats helps give it maximum appeal throughout the office.

An Elegant Family Option

A luxury gift basket has one obvious advantage: It’s bigger! This makes it a suitable family gift. Many Gift Baskets of Canada clients are from Europe and the UK and send gift baskets to family in Canada, so they need to account for not only sons and daughters, but grandchildren, too. This leads to a counterintuitive benefit: A luxury gift basket can actually cost less than sending a number of separate gifts, even in a single bundle. The gift basket also comes elegantly packaged and from a supplier like Clare’s, can be shipped with a personal message as soon as the next business day.

Bringing it to the Party

One of the most painful social situations to be in is when you can’t attend a critical social occasion – one that’s either important to family or close friends, or is a must-visit business occasion. This is a time when a luxury gift basket is an ideal way to make your presence known, even if you have to be on the other side of the world. One again, a luxury gift basket brings three advantages to a wedding shower, Christmas party, birthday milestone or other important occasion. First, its packaging makes it noticeable so that it’s more than just party of an assortment of appetizers. Second, a luxury gift hamper features a wide assortment of treats that fits the number of people and variety of tastes in attendance. Finally, a gift basket delivery service can send the gift basket with your personal message on the day of the event, so that your gesture doesn’t miss the party, and perhaps even draws attention with its arrival.
