As the gift giving season approaches yet again, many consumers thoughts turn to gift baskets. They’re an easy, affordable way to give personalized gifts to your loved ones, friends, or coworkers. However, creativity is also key. Does anyone really want another seventeen-tiered popcorn tower? So what’s the answer?
A smoked salmon gift basket is an excellent way to impress everyone who receives it. An upscale treat, it’s a great breakfast for a holiday morning. But salmon and all of the food that goes with it can be quite expensive, and take precious time out of your schedule to gather.
But who wouldn’t want a brunch of smoked salmon? Now imagine that you have bagels to go with it, of all different kinds, and that they’re slathered in cream cheese and covered in capers. Now that would be an amazing breakfast!
Now, doesn’t that sound better than fruitcake? It does, and don’t think that there isn’t choice involved in preparing your gift basket, just because you’ve decided on the main ingredient. Each product that you decide to include can be personally selected by you, with the tastes of the recipient in mind.
First, there’s the choice of salmon. You can choose Alaskan smoked salmon, with it’s rich color and amazing taste. Or, if your friends enjoy natural and organic products, you could choose natural smoked salmon. Or you could combine the two, so there will be a salmon choice for all.
The choice of bagel is just as important. Wheat and white and whole grain, oh my! Pick the bagel that you like the best, and that you feel will best match the taste of your salmon, and the tastes of your friends. But don’t even think that’s your last choice.
How about the cream cheese, which is essential to an excellent smoked salmon gift basket. If your friends are health concious, go with low fat. If not, classic, regular cream cheese is a great option. And if you’re feeling the need for some added flair, whipped and flavored cream cheese is a tasty treat. Capers also add an unexpected kick to your salmon.
This year, gift a truly original gift basket, smoked salmon! A smoked salmon gift basket, with it’s bagels, cream cheese, and more, will be the hit of any holiday bash. It will be a surprise, and a great tasting one!
