Back in the old days on holidays when the Internet didn't exist, my mom would sit by the table with her empty wicker baskets that she bought at a local gift shop and would fill them up with gourmet foods, fruits , wine bottles ,and all sorts of edible goodies & toys .

I would stand next her while she would wrap those gift baskets like a kid opening up a present ,

and every time she would finish a gift basket her eyes would glitter and then she would say " Learn from mommy and one day you'll do the same " ( lol )

It Was Fun ! and above all worth it !

In those days making gift baskets was in , because buying them was not worth it , first of all , they were hard to find and second , the prices were ridiculously expensive .

Prices are inexpensive due to the competition , and ordering them is so convenient , with a click of a button you can send a gift basket in no time .

The online gift basket industry is increasing dramatically every year , and making them I guess is on a decline unless your are selling them .

But there's one thing that will never ever change about " The gift basket " Is whether you make them or buy gift baskets online ,they will always remain the ultimate holiday gift .
