Although we might think of gift baskets as a modern way to give gifts, gift baskets have actually a rather long legacy. Spanning years and cultures, there are several fascinating stories of gift baskets that have been given throughout history.
Likely one of the earliest accounts of a gift coming in a basket is the basket of young plants that the pagan goddess Eostre carried in a basket, to be used as a sacred offering. Although some scholars argue the place of Eostre in Easter history, nevertheless this is the likely source of the idea of what came to be the modern-day Easter gift basket.

Often a gift basket will have a theme, such as for an occasion, like Christmas, Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Thanksgiving, graduationbirthdayanniversarybaby showerhousewarming, or Valentine's Day.
