A gift basket is a great idea, as it can incorporate many different smaller gifts into one. They can be very professional and great for staff and they can be very personal, perfect for family members and friends. Here, we've listed the different types of gift baskets suitable for every occasion. You are sure to find a basket perfect for the person you are buying for in our list below.

For new born babies-When someone has a new baby a gift basket is an ideal present, suitable for any budget. There are gift baskets that include towels, wraps, body suits and nappies, all things that parents can't get enough of. If you are wanting to get something a little more extravagant, perhaps a gift basket full of silver plated baby accessories such as a birth certificate holder and a baby album would be better suited.

As a wedding gift-Rather than getting them a toaster or an iron, what about a beautifully decorated gift basket full of chocolates, champagne and other treats for them to enjoy on their honeymoon or on their return? You can pick an elegant classic gift basket, or opt for one that is a little more cheeky if you prefer. There are so many to choose from that you are sure to find one to suit the happy couple.

As a birthday present-Gift baskets make such wonderful birthday gifts as there is such a variety and you can choose what type of basket will suit them best. Gift baskets are all about enjoying things you wouldn't usually because it is a special occasion. What could be better than receiving a bottle of champagne, an array of Belgium chocolates and a bottle of premium bubble bath presented in a beautiful gift basket for your 21st birthday?

For a colleague- Corporate gift baskets are a great idea to give to clients and to employees. These can be branded with your businesses logo and include products that are in line with your brand but also include fun, edible treats such as nuts and beer, or wine with a selection of cheeses and crackers. Whatever your business or budget, there is sure to be a gift basket perfectly suited to your gift giving needs.

Make your own- If you have time and a great idea for the perfect ingredients for a gift basket, why not make your own? It will have a real personal touch to the gift which the person you are giving it to is sure to love.

What's great about gift baskets is not only is there one to suit every budget, but they are also wonderfully presented and seldom need any extra wrapping. For Christmas, Birthdays, anniversaries and so many other occasions they really do make a great gift. I hope we've given you some great gift basket ideas for the next time you encounter any kind of gift-giving occasion.
