Gift baskets are such an easy gift idea. Find an awesome one that your recipient will love on this 10+ Great Gift Baskets To Give list.

At some point in the holiday shopping season, you are probably just done. You’re tired of putting stuff together and just need something easy.
I think we’re at that point, guys.
But don’t worry. I’ve got you covered. We’ll make it to the finish line together.
I put together a list of the Great Gift Baskets To Gift, filled with both sweet and savory gift baskets, some with food items and some without. There’s really something for everyone on this list.
If you get a gift basket filled with things your recipient loves, they’ll love it. But if you just grab a random one off the shelf and don’t even look at its contents, it’ll look like a last-minute gift that you didn’t put any thought into.
So yes, this may be a last-minute gift. But if you pick the right basket, no one needs to know that.
Also, we’re talking about the holiday shopping season, but you can gift these for as a birthday gift to a friend who lives out of town too. Most times, when you order online, you can schedule the delivery date to make sure it arrives on your friend’s birthday.

This list is split into two sections. The top are gift baskets you can find on Amazon. That way, if you really need something quick, you can order it for two day delivery with Amazon Prime. The second section is gift baskets that aren’t on Amazon. Some are from Walmart, because I figured most people live close enough to order at Walmart online and pick up in store, and some are from other online stores.

Dried Fruit Gift Basket
I’m actually obsessed with this Dried Fruit Gift Basket, and it has little to do with the dried fruit. Like, whatever. Dried fruit is fine. I like it, but it’s not exciting.
But — BUT — this is my favorite gift basket on the entire list because the basket is actually this very cool, reusable, Transformer-like tray. You can use it as a flat tray to hold your dried fruit now or as a charcuterie board in the future. Then, you do some hocus pocus and the basket opens into a basket that holds fresh fruit.
We have a bamboo fruit basket that we love, but it takes us so much space on the counter. This would have been a much better option.
Jerky Gift Basket
Jerky is such a good snack. Pete would take it with him to work every day if it wasn’t so expensive. That’s why this Jerky Gift Basket makes such a great gift. It’s something your recipients want, but probably won’t buy for themselves.
This version comes with 26 different pieces (23 pieces of jerky and three cheese/jerky combo packs because who doesn’t love cheese?).
This gift is priced much lower than I expected it to be, so it really is a great value.
Retro Candy Box
Nostalgia always wins. Keep that in mind when you’re looking for a gift. If you can’t think of something, think of nostalgia. That’s why that car brand had all those commercials with He-Man and Skeletor a few years ago. He-Man didn’t make a comeback. The brand was pulling on nostalgic heartstrings. And I’m sure it worked.
You can do something similar when you purchase this Retro Candy Box. It’s filled with sweet treats from your recipient’s childhood. They’ll love it.
We got my dad a similar box for Christmas a few years ago and he really liked it. It was a really nice variety of items, all from the decade he was a child. If you have someone with a sweet tooth on your list, definitely get this.
The Taste of Italy Gift Basket
I always say I should have been born Italian or Mexican because I like their food. If you’re shopping for someone who would agree with me, this The Taste of Italy Gift Basket is a fun idea. It comes with basically everything you’d need for a nice Italian dinner.
It comes with olives and Italian pretzels to start, pasta and Italian seasoning for the main course, olive oil to drizzle as a finish, and then Italian chocolate and cookies for dessert.
All your recipient needs to add is a sauce for the pasta. Maybe suggest our homemade alfredo sauce or some Rita’s Wooden Spoon, Pete’s small batch marinara sauce?
Dan the Sausageman’s Paint Bucket Gift Basket
I absolutely love this Paint Bucket Gift Basket from Dan the Sausageman. It’s probably the most unique “basket” I’ve ever seen. The paint bucket is filled with summer and roasted garlic red pepper sausage, olives, cheese, granola, and some other savory snacks.
What I really like is Dan the Sausageman is a small business. It was started in 1988 in Seattle. Dan won the U.S. Small Business of the Year for Washington State in 2018. And now he’s selling gift baskets with sausage and other specialty items, many from the Pacific Northwest, on Amazon.
Chocolate Bliss Handmade Assortment Gift Basket
When all else fails, go with a gourmet chocolate gift basket. Everyone loves chocolate. And everyone will love this Chocolate Bliss Handmade Assortment Gift Basket. It’s filled with peppermint bark, chocolate dipped pretzels, dipped Oreos, a chocolate Christmas tree, chocolate bars, and more.
It’s Christmas themed, so it might not be great for a special occasion like Mother’s Day, but it’s perfect for Christmas.
Nuts Gift Basket
If you’re looking for a gift for my dad (or someone like my dad), this Nuts Gift Basket is great. Well, it’s not really a basket. It’s more of a gift tray, if you want to be picky, but either way, it’s great.
There are seven sections and each one is filled with a different variety of nuts, which is fun. They’re all plain, which is great. A few years back we bought my dad a similar gift, but with flavored nuts and that was … well, it wasn’t the perfect present like I wished. Let’s say that.
Plain is much better way to go.
Iconic London Sights Tea Tins
I’m being very lenient calling this Iconic London Sights Tea Tins set a gift basket. Because it’s six tins in a plastic box. But, it’s the absolute perfect gift for a tea lover, so it makes the cut.
This gift has tins of tea, each with a different London image on it. You can buy the set of six or a set of three.
Each tin is filled with loose tea. If you’re not sure if your friend can use that, we have a list of Cute Animal Tea Infusers To Gift. Pick one of those to pair with this tea for a complete gift.

Ghirardelli Gold Glitter Sleigh Chocolate Gift Basket
This Ghirardelli Gold Glitter Sleigh Chocolate Gift Basket caught my eye when I saw it in the store, so I’m sure it’ll catch your gift recipient’s eye as well.
It’s super glittery, which is fun because the sleigh is intended to be reused. So it’ll be a great Christmas decoration after the treats are done.
And the treats are great. They’re all Ghirardelli chocolate squares, chocolate covered pretzels, and more, which are delicious.
Black and White Plaid Tote Gift Basket by Houdini
This Black and White Plaid Tote Gift Basket by Houdini is the one that’s in our main photo up at the top of this post. I love it so much because of the actual basket. It’s such a nice holiday-themed basket. I mean, everyone loves the red and black lumberjack this time of year. So it’s worth it just for that.
It’s filled with treats from Godiva, Lindt, Ghirardelli, and other really popular brands. So even though the basket is the real selling point, the treats in this are great too.
Ultimate Bee-Themed Gift Basket
This Ultimate Bee-Themed Gift Basket is filled with a great variety of bee- and honey-themed gifts, like a beeswax lotion bar, beeswax lip balms, organic honey candies, honey sticks, and more.
Everything comes from an apiary (bee farm) in Florida, which is so cool.
So your supporting local and giving a luxury gift basket filled with items that you’re friend can’t just buy at the store.
Hygge Gift Box
This absolutely looks like the coziest gift box and wouldn’t you know, it’s called a Hygge Gift Box. Me, not having any idea what “hygge” means Googled it and, by definition, it’s “the Danish Obsession with Getting Cozy.” Well, this is perfect gift basket for that then.
There are actually a few different versions of this gift box at the same listing, all with really cozy items like fuzzy socks and bath salts, coffee mugs and tea, plus lots of other self-care items. It’s all so perfect and each one is color coordinated, which just adds to the serenity of it.
And, you know, most of us don’t do enough self care. So giving this to a friend is the perfect way to help them unwind and take some time for herself.
Purchase Gift Baskets Online:
These aren’t the only gourmet gift baskets you can buy online. Just our favorites. We had to leave a bunch off, like the Comfy And Cozy Chocolate Lovers Gift Box above.
For a wide selection of gift baskets, check out the following stores online:
Be sure to double check a store’s minimum cart total to qualify for free shipping. And, if you’re buying a gift basket as a gift, consider shipping it directly to the recipient rather than shipping it to yourself. That way, you won’t have to pay shipping charges twice.
Also, don’t forget about looking at your local grocery store’s website and ordering via Instacart. You could actually choose your gift recipient’s address for delivery too, if you don’t live in the same town.
