Gourmet gift baskets offer enough variety to satisfy everyone's taste. Whether you choose to order or create your own gourmet food gift basket, you'll probably want to have each basket follow a theme. For a south of the border gourmet food gift basket, add fresh tortilla chips and a variety of salsas. Appetizers and hors d'oeuvres make great gourmet gift basket items. Some wonderful selections include pepper and onion relish, fresh crab cakes, shrimp cocktail with sauce, smoked salmon samplers, crackers and cheese, and a variety of spices and vinegars. Other gourmet food baskets might center around fresh fruits and nuts, including strawberries, pears, apples, oranges, pistachios, chocolate covered peanuts, almonds, and pecans. Gourmet cheeses and crackers are also great gourmet gift basket choices.
