If you’re looking to send some sustenance to keep your dorm dweller fueled during finals week, here’s a great idea. Instead of snacks, send a tasty meal.
Quick, easy and nutritious. The gift of a delicious meal is also a great housewarming gift. Consider timing your gift to arrive just after moving day – the new homeowners will be ready to enjoy a first meal at home, but not yet ready to cook. How thoughtful!

The gift of cheese is a great choice at the holidays. Exotic cheeses are fun and luxurious and far more nutricious than most gift basket fare. Cheese will also keep well for quite a long time, taking some of the pressure off the holiday waistline. The best thing about the gift of cheese is its affordability. The cheesiest gifts are pure cheese. No basket. No crackers. No funky mustard. Cheese. Cheese. Cheese. So even if your budget is under $30, you can put together a lovely and impressive assortment of delectible treats. And, of course, from there the sky’s the limit.

Whether shopping for yourself or for a gift for someone else, fragrance gift sets are an a terrific option, especially when it comes to getting more for less. Even when purchased at full retail price, fragrance gift packages represent an excellent value. A gift set generally includes at least one full sized item (body lotion, soap, bath gel) along with a full sized Cologne or Eau de Parfum – and generally sells for the same price as the fragrance by itself. You’re usually saving about 25% to 40% off the retail value of the products. A really terrific gift set might also include a couple other small items like a purse spray or some travel size bath and body products. In general, you’re getting something for free – even if you’ve paid full retail price.
And, of course, savvy online shoppers can do even better – there are quite a few online fragrance outlets offering 100% authentic designer perfume and cologne and fragrance gift sets at discounts of up to 70% – sometimes even more. Always comparison shop your fragrance of choice at several different places - and always expect to find a wide variation in prices between sites. It’s well worth a few extra clicks - prices can vary by more than $25 for a single, identical item. If you’re shopping for more than one fragrance, don’t be at all surprised if a site that was the most expensive for one product offered the best price by far for the other.
Fragrance gift sets make a great gift for any occasion – holidays, birthdays, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day. Pick one of her all time favorite fragrances and go to town. And if the pre-packaged gift sets don’t seem quite bountiful enough – add a few more products and create your own gift box.
A do it yourself fragrance gift set is an easy gifting option and an excellent choice for last minute shoppers. Overnight delivery is generally available. A quick trip to your corner Walgreens or CVS for a decorative gift bag, coordinating tissue and the perfect card and you’ve created a thoughtful and luxurious gift with no stress at all.

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again. It’s ALL about the food. Yes, a nice container is lovely. Of course it is. But you can’t eat that for a snack. For gift baskets that are sure to thrill – focus on the food. A really terrific assortment of treats is going to be just as exciting even if they’re placed in nothing more than a decorative shopping bag. Trust me on this one. We all have more than enough wicker trays, ice buckets and bread baskets.
A gift basket does not need to be ridiculously huge or expensive to make a great statement. Well selected items of a common theme can pack an impressive gift punch for as little as $30 to $40 and go up from there. Items from a specific country or region work together nicely, as do a set of items intended to go together as a complete meal. A selection of three or four similar items such as cheeses or smoked fish is also very well received. You can’t go wrong with coffee and pastry or chocolates. Champagne and caviar? Ooh la la! Wine, cheese and crackers always works well. Add some olives, dried fruits, nuts or chocolates and you’ve created a complete feast.
See what we mean? It’s ALL about the food.
If you really want to create holiday gift baskets that thrill, add a personal touch. Assemble the packages yourself and include a personalized item or two. Wine, chocolates, coffee and many other terrific gourmet items are available with your own personal logo, photo or message. Pack your items in something attractive but not expensive. If you are delivering your gifts locally, you can certainly opt for a decorative shopping bag and a bit of festive tissue. You might even want to add those same personal labels to the packaging.
Whether you decide to prepare your own or have them packed and sent by the pros, focus on the food and your gourmet gifts will be sure to thrill.
