Gift baskets often get a bad rap, and many deserve it for their uninspired or mismatched components: stale crackers, gritty chocolate, Red Delicious apples that are anything but. We wanted to find the standout choices, gift baskets that would be delightful all year long.
After considering more than 125 gift baskets since 2018, we found 23 outstanding options. We found other baskets that we thought were worth mentioning, too. So under some of our main picks, we included baskets that we thought you may also like.

Wirecutter contributor Anna Perling wrote our original guide to gift baskets in 2018, in close collaboration with contributor Winnie Yang. Both are food-media veterans. For our original guide, we asked a panel of 16 Wirecutter staff members to weigh in on gift baskets and to consider their presentation, taste, variety, and value.
We took note of what each basket contained, as well as any potential allergens (if you have serious allergy concerns, always check with the purveyor). We discussed each contender in depth and asked tasters to fill out forms evaluating each basket.
For a classic Easter basket, we love the Pottery Barn Kids Seagrass Easter Basket because it gives off big Beatrix Potter energy, and it comes in two roomy sizes so you can fill it with a lot or a little. The bigger basket (15 inches in diameter) can hold a large stuffie and plenty of treats. The smaller size (12 inches in diameter) is no slouch, either, if you want something easy for young kids to carry. Pottery Barn Kids also sells several customizable liners in ginghams, plaids, and seersuckers, and it has a similar white basket in slightly different sizes.

Your team can either procure all your bottles from the same sponsor (such as a liquor store) or ask individual supporters to donate one or two bottles and them combine them into a basket before the event.

It took a little planning and one night to put them all together but they turned out wonderfully and were a hit with the recipients.
Sometimes coming up with thoughtful and useful gifts can be difficult on a budget. Themed gift baskets are a great thoughtful gift idea that really can be done at any price point. Below are creative gift basket ideas that you can easily do for $20 or less.
Buy baskets on the cheap when you can. I always buy baskets when I find them on sale and just keep them in the closet for future gift baskets. I also ask friends and neighbors if they have any baskets laying around. Local thrift shops and second-hand stores usually have a significant selection to choose from. Other places like HomeGoods, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and Ross usually have affordable baskets that are great for gift giving.
Wine Night Gift Basket
Friday nights are cocktail nights at my house so this basket totally speaks to me. Consider giving a subscription to a wine of the month club or a bottle subscription like, Winc or you can just give a bottle or two of wine, some wine tags, wine glasses, and a bottle stopper.
