The Structure of a Gift Basket



When I decide a design of a gift basket to see whether or not it is, in my opinion, a good design, I consider a few things to make up my mind.

First of all, I consider balance. When you look at the gift basket, does it feel unbalanced and chaotic, or does it feel very much balanced and calming? Within my gift baskets I like symmetry. I like to make my gift baskets, such as this deluxe movie gift basket, symmetrical and balanced to the eye.

Next, when I look a gift basket to see if it is a great gift, I look at the contents. Is this basket full of items that your recipient will love, or is it full of a bunch of filler items like huge boxes of crackers filled mostly with air? I, personally, do not get many people request gourmet gift baskets, however that doesn't mean they are not delicious. My business focuses on snack gift baskets filled with junk food items that seem to please everyone. For the health conscious we are about to launch our baked gift basket line filled with items such as baked chips, nuts, and sugar free candy.

Now, the next thing I look for in a great gift basket is overall design. Does it look great? If it looks great, contains enough contents and good products for the price, and feels right, then it will probably be a hit to your recipient.

We hope you decide to order a unique gift basket today. Order from Thinking of You. Your recipient will not be disappointed!

New Gift Basket Designs and Images




As I began reworking my website: Unique Gift Baskets, I realized that I need to take better quality images of my gift baskets. I love making gift baskets. It is a great way for me to use my artistic abilities to make something great. One of my favorite baskets I have made recently is a candy bar gift basket - pink chocolate that was ordered for valentine's day. This beautiful gift basket I designed using a pink chocolate gift box and metallic pink poofs. I placed 50 candy bars/variety chocolate candy, in this beautiful gift basket. The result was a great gift.

Gift Baskets can be time consuming to make. I hand cut and made each of the pink metallic poofs in this basket. I also designed the gift basket to be somewhat symetrical. I like a nice clean look of symetry better than a jumbled mess of food. As our business grows we are learning more and more what we feel makes a great gift basket. I have decided to primarily stick to junk food gift baskets, candy gift baskets, and snack gift baskets. I feel that is what most of my customers enjoy. I also do baby gift baskets and baby time capsules, and wedding towel cakes and wedding time capsules. Currently, I am working and brainstorming some new and exciting gift basket designs that I think my customers will love. I am planning to not only add designs, but also add different items such as cokes, that used to be custom orders only. I hope everyone will keep an eye out for our new gift basket designs. I can't wait to show you my new gift baskets!

Snack Gift Baskets


Hello everyone!


I have been working hard to decide a good direction for my business. In order to discover my niche I have crunched numbers and looked at previous orders over and over. I have recently come to the conclusion that snack gift baskets are my best sellers! Since I adore making snack gift baskets and chocolate candy gift baskets, I am thrilled. My customers have been pleased with their snack gift basket orders, so I am very happy to announce that we are primarily focusing Thinking of You Gift Baskets to offer as a majority of our selection, snack gift baskets.
Currently, we are updating our site and hoping to get some new, cleaner, better images as the one above so that our customers can much more easily see the type of gift they are purchasing. We are hoping to have some new designs as well as new images to show them off. We love creating new snack gift baskets that everyone seems to enjoy.
