Gift baskets are popular for just about all occasions. Two distinct markets use gift baskets: corporations and the private sector. Access to a supplier who offers reduced prices for the items used in the gift baskets in important for profitability. Visit party supply stores and dollar stores to find inexpensive decorative items. Use your own talent in the kitchen to create snacks, cakes and cookies that work in the gift basket theme.
