From a utilitarian carrying vessel made from reeds and canes, to an elegant display of bounty and appreciation, gift baskets hold a time-honored place in almost every culture. Partly because of this connection to our past, gift baskets carry a powerful, romanticized suggestion of gratitude and celebration, reserved for special people and special occasions.

Before the advent of modern day packaging materials, like paper and plastic containers, baskets were a common way people transported goods. But as new, synthetic materials made many products obsolete, the natural appeal and a respect for handcrafted quality improved the image of baskets in our society to the point where unique gift baskets now symbolize specialness. It's a new day in the history of baskets as their popularity shifts from useful transporters to ideal presents - gift baskets.

But the influence of history and the gift baskets of other cultures continue to impact the design elements used to create some of the most beautiful modern gift baskets. Flower gift baskets may have an origin in the ancient Japanese bamboo flower baskets, used in the Nara period (710-794) in the imperial palaces. In the secular world, tradition points to the first flower gift baskets created in appreciation of Chinese gift baskets dating from the early 1400s.

In Europe, the tradition of gift baskets is recorded in the comments made by people like Voltaire, and Vincent Van Gogh, both of whom were known to be fond of gift baskets. The historic origins of our modern gift baskets extend throughout the world.

Today's gift baskets reflect an art in their own right, with an incredible array of creative possibilities, limited only by the gift baskets designers. Eye catching collections of basketry, including, gourmet gift baskets filled with impressive gourmet delicacies, lavish chocolates and birthday gift baskets covered in ribbons and bows, can all contribute to the celebratory experience that is unique to gift baskets. Used to spread good will among both personal friends and business associates, business gift baskets have now become a tradition that seems here to stay. Gift baskets for women represent both a gift for the person and also a celebration of the person, the same goes with gift baskets for men. All are a token of appreciation that goes beyond words.
