Edible gift baskets – or drinkable ones, make a great retirement gift ideaYou can order a special chocolate shape to reflect the person’s interests or career. Think of chocolate business cards, a model car, almost any shape you want. Recently I was given a beautiful chocolate airplane I could hardly bear to eat – but I managed! Wondering where you could find something special like this? 
If you know they adore food,get an edible gift basket of gourmet taste treats, maybe matched with a suitable wine. You have an almost infinite number of choices, such as mixtures of fruit, chocolate, cookies, cheeses and attractive little jars of gourmet jams. An edible gift basket with just glorious fruit can be brilliantly pretty to look at as well as delicious to eat. This is a great choice for people who are watching their weight but enjoy food treats. 
Hmm... People who are watching their weight but love to eat food? Come to think of it, that's almost all of us, isn't it? 
Drinkable gift baskets. Is the person a wine lover? A contribution to their wine cellar, or one of those nifty wine refrigerators might be perfect.Does he or she love regular or herbal tea? You can get baskets with a lovely assortment of teas. A coffee drinker? Same thing. Shop in the specialty coffee cafes for a selection of coffees. Package them in a basket, wrap with transparent colored paper, tie with a ribbon and you have a great drinkable gift. (You can find the transparent colored paper in craft shops, and often in dollar stores.) What, you wonder, might a gift basket of over $500.00 contain? Well, a couple of bottles of classy champagne along with treats like smoked salmon and top quality chocolate can quickly boost the price up.But the beauty of these baskets is that you can pretty well choose the price range you want to pay.
Edible and drinkable gift baskets have other special advantages too. Not only are they suitable for almost anyone, they don’t leave the recipient with an item they have to store. And because they are consumable, they are environmentally friendly too. So shop with confidence. After all, almost everyone loves food and specialty drinks, whether alcoholic or not.
