Checking Our List #25: GourmetGiftBaskets.com Review and Giveaway

It's hard to believe, but the end of November is already here! With December just a day away, I, like many I'm sure, am busy checking my list and finishing up the Christmas shopping I still have left to do. I like to get my shopping done early, however it comes down to the last few family members or friends that I just don't know what to buy them. I always like to find unique gifts I know they'll enjoy, and depending on the person...it can be quite a difficult task. That is...until I was introduced to GourmetGiftBaskets.com!

Whether you're shopping for an anniversary, birthday, Christmas or something else...GourmetGiftBaskets.com is your one-stop-shop for all your high quality gift basket needs. They offer a large selection of handmade gift baskets made with award-winning gourmet foods for every occasion imaginable. No matter who you're looking for...man, woman, or child...you're sure to find something that suits them perfectly. And, with a 100% satisfaction guarantee you can't go wrong.

When I first came across GourmetGiftBaskets.com, I was not only impressed with their great selection, but also how easy their site is to navigate. Using the categories located along the sidebar, you can search by price, occasion, gourmet food, and more! I was able to browse around and find their Christmas Gift Baskets within no time!

We were sent the Christmas Gift Basket Classic to review.

When the gift basket arrived, I was immediately impressed with the presentation. Everything was easy to see through the clear packaging, and to top it off...there was a beautiful bow that gave it a finishing touch. I love when companies go above and beyond to make sure their products stand out and make wonderful gifts...this definitely did!


It was so neatly put together that I hated to open it...but of course, I couldn't not check out (and taste test) everything included! As I pulled out each item...I got more and more excited. There was a variety of 10 different award-winning gourmet snacks.

Ours included:

• Robert Rothschild Farm Raspberry Honey Mustard Pretzel Dip
• Dipping Pretzels by East Shore Specialty Foods
• Dark Chocolate Pecan Caramel Patties
• Brent & Sams Cookies - Chocolate Chip Pecan
• Metropolitan Trail Mix by GourmetGiftBaskets.com
• Single Serve Chocolate Covered Cherries by Marich
• Signature Dark Chocolate Bar by Lake Champlain
• Salted Peanuts in Box by Feridie's
• Buttered Peanut Crunch by Old Dominion Peanut Company
• Petite Cheese Biscuits by Salem Baking Co.
  

With everything from chocolate, to almonds and pretzels...there was something sure to suit everyone's taste in our family. The kids absolutely LOVED the dipping pretzels, hubby enjoyed the cheese biscuits, and my weakness...well, of course anything involving chocolate. I especially liked the Chocolate chip pecan cookies and chocolate covered cherries. YUM! I was pleasantly surprised with how good each snack was. They were delicious!

The basket itself was even impressive! I love the sleek and simple look. It's great that this is a gift basket where the recipient has something to keep after all the goodies are gone. It could be used for almost anything and given it's excellent quality...is sure to last a very long time.

I am very happy with the Christmas Gift Basket Classic I received and think it would make a great gift idea for anyone on your list this year. It's unique, practical and includes delicious goodies everyone is sure to love.
