Making a gourmet gift basket that is both eco-friendly and flavorful doesn’t need to be an expensive experience. The trick is to do it yourself and choose the right products to make a difference both to the environment and the recipient of the gift.
Gift baskets are a type of present that will never go out of style, and giving one that has personally selected items that are tasty, luxurious, and organic can add even more enjoyment for your friends and family.
The following are some great ideas for assembling these gourmet biodynamic wine baskets, which can be made to fit virtually any budget and can be customized for almost any recipient.
Start with a bottle or two of biodynamic wine. They come in a range of different prices and from many different regions. Have a glance at biodynamic wine sites online to watch for award winners for that extra flair to your present.
Next, shop around for additional eco-friendly gifts such as organic candies and packaged baked goods (such as cookies or fruit cakes) that have been made using organic ingredients.
Don’t forget to make sure that the basket itself is made out of environmentally friendly materials, to top off the greenness of your gift. Look for decorative recycled heavy cardboard boxes, baskets woven from organic straw, or totes made from bamboo or salvaged fabric strips. Use filler products such as crinkled recycled paper strips, organic straw, or even a bamboo towel that can become part of the gift and can be used by the recipient. Forgo the cellophane wrap, if possible.
Also, adding organic fruit gifts make for a nice finishing touch!
