Gift giving is part of our culture - a way to express love, appreciation and thanks. We give gifts on obvious occasions like birthdays, at Christmas and to mark anniversaries, but also for many other reasons.

Baby Gift Baskets - Flowers are lovely, but speaking from personal experience, once the excitement of childbirth is over and you've held your baby for the first time, no expression of congratulations is more cherished than a well-chosen baby gift hamper. Be it a beautifully presented bundle of tincy wincy baby clothes, a basket of sweet-smelling lotions, soaps and talc for mother and newborn to share, or a colourful hamper of toys and baby books, a baby gift basket is both practical and thoughtful and will be gratefully received.

New Mum Gift Baskets - Any mum will tell you that a hamper of aromatic bath oils, soothing body lotions, lip balms and hand creams are always welcome, but especially when you've just had a baby and are giving all you TLC to your new bub. It's great to give someone the excuse to spend some time on themselves.

Pamper Gift Baskets - Why not pop indulgence in a gift box and send it to someone special? Relaxing bubble baths and rich, creamy body butters make wonderful gifts for a girl (or boy!) friend. Make Valentine's Day special this year and order a luxurious, cosseting gift basket from your beloved's favourite beauty salon or day spa. And why not make them feel really spoilt by throwing in a gift voucher for a treatment or 2 as well?

Fruit Gift Baskets - Fruit makes a wonderful gift. Bright, bursting with colour and smelling fabulous, it has 2 big advantages over other type of gift: it's healthy and delicious, and there are no misleading connotations that can be read into sending it. And the choice is almost endless. You could go seasonal and pick whatever fruit is at its best or perhaps you'd like to theme it with a particular colour? You could have a fruit basket made up of tropical fruits, or fruits from a certain area. You could order a hamper filled with many different varieties of a single fruit, or simply create a basket containing all of the recipient's favourite fruits. It's up to you.

Personalised Gift Baskets - Nothing says, "I care" more than a gift that has been carefully chosen to provide or represent something unique and of significance to the person who receives it. It may seem contradictory, but there are companies who would be quite happy to put together a personalized gift basket for you. Tell them specifically what you want in the hamper, from items to colour scheme, and they will run around and source the contents for you. With the time poor lives we lead, a little delegation can still result in something fabulous.

Themed Gift Baskets - Think outside the box (or basket!) when you're planning your gift basket and you could come up with something really fantastic. A footy mad mate would love a hamper of football memorabilia - mugs, scarves, posters and maybe tickets to a game - done out in their teams' colours. Does the person that your buying the gift for have a hobby or interest that would work well in hamper form? A scrap-booker would adore a gift of papers, beads, sequins and other 'crafty things whilst a 'rev head would go nuts for car or bike accessories and tickets to a motor show. With a pinch of imagination, the options are endless.

Chocolate Gift Baskets - Chocolate is one of these magical things that give so much pleasure to so many people! Whilst it might not be the healthiest of gifts, a big box of handmade chocolates is not something that many people would decline. There are companies who will make you up a hamper of whatever chocolates you like - soft centres or hard, pralines or whole nuts, truffles or liqueurs - and deliver them to your lucky friend's front door.
