Every year, you look forward to the holiday season for joy, laughter, family gatherings, and, most importantly, gift-giving. Not only a Christmas party with enticing themed food and a delightful menu; certainly, it's easy to purchase a holiday gift basket, but it's impersonal and expensive. Rather than spending a small fortune on a store-bought gift basket, you can craft one yourself for half the price or even less, tailored to your friend's specific tastes and loves. We've assembled a list of great DIY food gift boxes/basket ideas for everyone this Christmas.
Why food gift baskets/boxes are the best choice for Christmas
Send your Christmas greetings in a special way
With the busy season upon us, the time for choosing the right Christmas gift for loved ones, friends, or even co-workers is here. What do they want? What can I buy? Where can I buy it? These are just a few of the questions we can spend hours pondering, trying to think of the ideal gift.
There’s a huge variety of Christmas gift basket options, and they are ideal for any age, preference, and relationship. We can take some time to pack and wrap our fabulous and festive Christmas gift baskets, ready to send to our loved ones.
Something sparkling and special for every family member
Family gift shopping may be difficult at the best of times, especially if you know your younger siblings are still wearing the sweaters grandma gave them last year! You may feel you have to meet the needs of each family member while shopping for Christmas. However, sometimes a single spectacular Christmas gift basket with themed food may be perfect for the entire family and keep everyone happy!
You can never go wrong with delicious food gift boxes or baskets for Christmas. Most people enjoy the unique flavors and treats that come during the festive season, especially when they are presented in beautiful packages.
Seductive food gift boxes for your other half on Christmas
Not sure of what to present your beau or bestie for Christmas? Why not get them a gift box or basket to please and pamper? Instead of choosing between their favorite things, you can gift them all in one gorgeous hamper. It doesn’t have to be difficult; you can pick anything, from their favorite wine to their favorite gourmet delicacy.
5 DIY food gift boxes/baskets for Christmas
These DIY Christmas gift boxes or baskets are the perfect gift for all your foodie friends and family or those who already have everything.
Spice & seasoning gift box
Barbecue addicts get all the love when it comes to spices and seasonings and the giving of such gifts, but indoor cooks also need some love. With a gift box filled with spices, seasonings, and other flavor enhancers, you can show that chef you care.
Coffee gift basket
Show that coffee snob or coffee lover some love this season with a bag or two of their favorite beans. A cocoa-flavored sweet treat is a good addition, as is a coffee warmer to keep their beverage nice and warm. Nothing goes with coffee like chocolate, so both are recommended.
Items you will need to make this gift basket:
- Homemade dark chocolate hot cocoa mix
- DIY chocolate spoons
- Cranberry Pistachio biscotti
- A couple of different whole or ground bean coffees
- Disposable hot beverage cups
- A basket
- Red and green tissue paper
- Cellophane to wrap the basket in
- Bow to add to the basket (optional)
Other items to include:
- Coffee liquors
- Flavored creamers
- Chocolate-covered espresso beans
- A candle
- A good book
- A fun coffee mug or travel mug
- Chocolates
Food gift boxes for Christmas - Gingerbread goodies
Do you know how everything at Halloween is flavored with pumpkin? Christmas is exactly the same, only it’s all about gingerbread, cinnamon, and gingerbread with cinnamon.
Thus, it’s only natural at some point in your life, that you will receive a gift box that contains only gingerbread stuff, like gingerbread men, gingerbread decorations, and gingerbread houses. The best thing you can do with such a gift box is to use it as a centerpiece for your dinner table, and perhaps give the person who gave you the gift box as a present.
The great thing about this traditional dessert is that it's really simple to make at home, and you don’t need any special tools or any special skills in order to make a decent batch. In fact, when it comes to gingerbread, everything depends on your creativity, the shape you intend to give it, and whether you have enough glazing to decorate it whatever you like.
Chocolate lovers' gift basket
Any Christmas food gift boxes or baskets for a chocolate lover should include plenty of sweet options because the only thing better than chocolate is more chocolate. Instead of buying full-size chocolate bars, look for fun-sized varieties and assortments from different producers. Add a small tin of hot cocoa or chocolate syrup for even more chocolatey pleasure.
Items you will need to make this gift basket:
- Homemade dark chocolate hot cocoa mix
- DIY chocolate spoons
- Peppermint meringue cookies
- Disposable hot beverage cups
- Whipped cream in a can
- A basket
- Red and green tissue paper
- Cellophane to wrap the basket in
Other items to include:
- Different flavored marshmallows
- Different toppings like toffee bits, sprinkles, crushed peppermints, caramel bits, andies chips, coconut
- Salted caramel sauce
- Stirrers like cinnamon sticks, pirouettes, peppermint sticks
- Fun coffee mug or travel mug
- Cookies or candy to fill in the blanks
Wine lovers' gift basket
Give your wine-loving buddy a care package that will always be useful and let the professional choose the wine. A good kitchen towel with a cute wine-themed design is a good way to start. And there is no such thing as having too many corkscrews. A set of robust plastic wine tumblers would also be appreciated if your buddy likes to host events indoors or outside or has tile floors. Whatever bottle they choose to open, a bar of dark chocolate is a sweet complement to their drink.
