As we get older, we find it harder and harder to buy for those family members who tell us they don’t want anything for Christmas. Whether it’s a sister, friend, or parent, these gift baskets could help answer your gift-giving struggles.

1. New Chef

If you know someone who’s just gotten a new home or apartment, getting them a gift with the cooking essentials could save them on dinner nights. Create a cute basket with all the basic tools, gadgets, spices and gourmet condiments a new home owner might need.

2. DIYer

Know someone who loves to tackle projects? Find a basket made of mesh, chicken wire, or a galvanized metal. Pick some vintage-inspired tools, gadgets, and include protein and carb-filled foods to keep them working hard on their projects.

3. Baker

Support your friendly baker with chef-quality ingredients to help them with their baking passion. Pick a fan favorite baking item: pancakes, cupcakes, cake, pie. In their basket, include the mix topped with condiments and tools to perfect their dish.

4. Entertainer

This basket is perfect for someone who enjoys having company. Add glass containers with a bunch of finger food desserts. Provide different cookies, popcorns, and pretzels in decorative snack bags to add a little character to the basket.

5. Film Buff

This is the perfect gift for a stay-at-home movie night or for those who like to go see movies in the theatres. Pack the basket with sweets, snacks, or gift cards and purse-sized snacks for a night at the movie.

6. Tea or Coffee Enthusiast

A basket for the coffee or tea lover in your life can help with variety for a gift. Either choose a full tea cup set or a single cup, and add any gourmet ingredients, coffee, or tea bags to give them a variety of options.

7. Wine or Beer Connoisseur

Use a picnic basket as your choice to wrap it and pick a favorite wine or beer for your friend/ family to try. Pair it with the appropriate snacks like flavored nuts, crackers, or cheeses.
