Creating a Corporate Gift Basket

If you're a part of the corporate world, there will come a time when you'll need a great gift for a boss, co-worker or client. Not sure what to choose? A corporate gift basket can be an appropriate and well-received choice. While there are plenty of gift basket companies out there that offer many different types of corporate themed gift baskets, it's often more affordable and personal to create one yourself.

The first thing you'll need is a basket, of course. There are many different sizes and shapes out there these days. Choose a basket that's deep enough to accommodate filler material as well as the gift items you'd like to include. Filler can be anything from faux moss to shredded paper. It's always good to choose a color scheme to make your basket look more professional. Conservative, classic colors like navy blue, burgundy, or dark green make great colors for a corporate basket.

When it comes to what to fill the basket with, there are lots of options. For someone you don't know very well, gourmet food is always an appropriate choice. Gourmet cheeses, smoked meats like salmon and summer sausage, jams, jellies, crackers and candies are all perfect non-perishables to fill your basket with. A coffee theme is always a popular choice as well. Fill the basket with brown shredded paper, then add two attractive coffee mugs and an assortment of gourmet coffees and flavored non-dairy creamers.

Food isn't the only thing you can fill a corporate gift basket with. Funny or interesting boxed desk calendars, stress-relieving squeeze balls, and decorative stationery or a variety of colored ink pens are all good choices. Many corporate executives enjoy golf. If you know for a fact that the recipient is an avid golfer, then that can be the theme of the basket. Fill a golf themed basket with grass green filler then add items like golf balls, golf books, videos, DVDs, a golf-related desk calendar or anything other golf accessories you come across.

It's important to make your gift basket appear as full as possible. There should be very little filler material showing. Experiment with different arrangements to find the most aesthetically pleasing one. After your items have been artfully arranged, finish with clear cellophane and a ribbon or bow that matches your chosen color scheme.

If you'll be shipping your corporate gift basket, make sure to pack it with care or take it to a store like the UPS store that specializes in packaging and shipping.
