10 Special Times You Should Give a Gift Basket in 2017

As we start to put an end to 2016, we look ahead to 2017. This year, don’t allow celebrations to creep up on you without having a game plan. Below are 10 special times that are going to occur in the year ahead — and that make perfect opportunities for you to send a gift basket: 

#1: Birthdays

Every person has a birthday, and every birthday should be acknowledged in some way. If you want a simple way to show your caring and love, a gift box or basket makes a wonderful, fun and unexpected present. Any individual, child or adult, would adore getting a gift basket filled to the brim with goodies!

#2: Valentine’s Day

This is a no-brainer, but it’s worth mentioning. Valentine’s Day isn’t just about sending something to your special someone. It’s also a chance to do something sweet for friends and family members. Wouldn’t your mom love a Valentine’s Day gift basket that suits her tastes?

#3: New Baby

New parents, even if they already have children, are deserving of good cheer and well-wishes. Make sure they have something to give them a little energy by sending a gift basket brimming with candies, fruits, nuts and other treats.

#4: Professionals’ Days

From Administrative Professionals’ Day to Boss’s Day, there are plenty of professionals’ days that sneak up on you at the last moment. This year, you can get the jump on all these corporate holidays and be certain you don’t have to run to the store at the last minute to find a card because you forgot!

#5: Housewarming

Buying a new house or moving to a new home is definitely something that should be celebrated! Send a gift basket across the country or down the street to add some smiles and cheer to your friends or family.

#6: Anniversaries

There are so many anniversaries you can recognize with a gift basket — from the first time you and your special someone went on a date, to your parents’ 43rd wedding anniversary. Even if you intend to get other presents, a gift basket can be a complete, and well-received, surprise.

#7: Get Well Soon

Know someone who is feeling under the weather or who requires medical attention? Order a gift basket, pronto! Nothing helps bring some cheer to a sick day than having a gift box or tray delivered.

#8: Graduations

For many of us, we think of a graduation as the time we leave high school, but there are so many other graduations throughout the year! You can send a gift basket to a little child graduating from kindergarten or to your aunt who just got her Ph.D. at age 55. 

#9: Sympathy

It can be difficult to know what to say or do for those who have recently lost a loved one. Let a beautiful gift basket be there for you — and for them.

#10: Just Because

Of course, sometimes you should send a gift basket, well, just because! This is probably one of the nicest gestures you can make in 2017. Bring someone a smile!

Get out your 2017 calendar and start marking all the moments when you’ll send a gift basket this year. You might be surprised at all the options you have to brighten your friends’ and family members’ days!
