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, graduation, birthday, anniversary, baby shower, housewarming, or Valentine's Day. One can
also send a sympathy gift basket or get well gift basket. A basket can be made
to suit the dietary restrictions of the recipient, such as diabetic, peanut
allergy, vegan, vegetarian, gluten or wheat intolerance.
