A Delightful Gourmet Food Gift Basket for Celebrating Christmas

The easiest way to tell your hard-to-buy-for friends and relatives that you remembered them on Christmas is to send them gourmet holiday gift baskets. It’s now very easy to order these gifts online. You can choose a pre-made basket that has been expertly put together by gift specialists, create a completely custom one from scratch, or simply make a pre-made basket extra special by adding a special item or two before checking out.

Wondering what to put in your gourmet Christmas food basket? Let us take some of the guesswork out. Here are some treats and beverages that your recipient will surely appreciate:

1. A bottle of good shiraz: It’s the holidays—it’s time for some wine! You can’t go wrong with a full bodied red wine that goes with most staples on the holiday table, from meats to lambs to thick pastas. We recommend St Hallett Gamekeeper’s shiraz, which is an award winning wine.

2. Fancy crostini: When plain toasted bread won’t do, why not send a gourmet food basket? Giuseppe Rosemary & Sea Salt Crostini will surely be a hit. It’s the perfect base for holiday canapés. They go very well with cured meats and tapenades, and can beused to scatter over salads and soups.

3. Delicious cheese: Gourmet cheeses are the perfect appetizers for Christmas parties, and your recipient will surely appreciate them. We recommend adding soft and mild brie into your Christmas basket. This creamy cheese is a crowd pleaser.

4. Tomato salsa: Tomato salsas aren’t just great as dips. They can be used as pasta sauces, too. Your gift will help make male preparation easier.

5.  Traditional Christmas pudding: A Christmas table is not quite as festive without some cake, mince tarts, or puddings. This is a welcome addition to any gourmet gift basket.

The best Christmas food baskets are presented in acrylic salad bowls that your recipients can use for outdoor entertaining. Everything is wrapped in cellophane and finished off with a satin ribbon, plus a gift card that you can personalise with a message.
