("EMI"), "Gift baskets could be the closest thing to the perfect gift," because of the limitless possibilities to customize the gift basket to the recipient, the occasion and the price range. For business owners, creating gift baskets is an easy business venture to attract potential buyers and is a great way to be creative and entrepreneurial. Start off with a basket, add tissue paper or some sort of filler to the foundation of the basket, include a variety of treats, such as coffee, chocolate, tea or baked goods, and then select a few larger items to balance the shape of the basket, and presto, you have a beautiful gift basket. But what makes gift baskets a good choice for someone's special day? EMI says, "Just about everybody has the potential to become your customer. But if you try to sell to the entire world, you'll end up not selling much at all." So offering a great gift basket comes down to personalization. "...Identify the market, choose a niche, and then develop a plan to serve it," EMI stated. "The two primary gift basket markets are now the individual gift-giver and the corporate client. Both can be lucrative and fun to serve." Below are some great gift basket items for the novice baker, those coffee and tea lovers out there, and for those consumers who still haven't gotten the hang of cooking on stove-top, we've listed some microwavable-safe products that may come in handy.
