Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Coffee gift basket

Consider food gift baskets -- not your typical fruit baskets from the grocery store, but themed gourmet ones. There are ethnic food gift baskets, as well as unique gift baskets built around a single ingredient, such as chocolate, coffee or pistachios.
Step 2

Think about the recipient's hobbies and interests. A golf theme, gardening collection or book lover motif would each make a fun and unique gift basket.
Step 3

For a truly unique gift basket, try a wacky, off-the-wall assortment. BUy or make a unique gift basket with humor as its theme. Include joke books, practical jokes, and other funny and wacky items.
Step 4

Buy a cultural or regional-theme gift basket for a more formal gift. This is great for civic events involving your town, city or state. The person being honored may be given a collection of local items and mementos in a attractive container, making a very unique gift basket.

Tips & Warnings

For your children's teachers, consider a unique gift basket tailored to their interests, food or a little pampering. "Teacher" themed gifts get a little repetitive for those with dozens of students in each class.
