Gourmet Gift Baskets Valentine’s and Spring Season Gift Guide


by Philippa Lane                               





I love to give and receive gifts and I have discovered a gem of a company that makes delectable, delicious, desserts, and beautiful gift baskets. They are professionally designed and made for any occasion such as Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, Birthdays, Valentine’s Day, Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, Hanukkah, Weddings, and much more.

Valentine’s Day is a very special day on which we give gifts to express how much certain people mean to us. I was able to sample three Gourmet Gift Baskets Products that are great to give on Valentine’s Day or on another special occasion to someone you love or just to enjoy yourself.


Here are two of my favorites:


Fondue Delight Gift Basket: I love to eat chocolate and fruit, so fondue is a great way to mix these two elements together in a unique and special way. The Fondue Delight Gift Basket is a wonderful way to entertain guests and serve them something sweet that is also healthier to eat. This fondue kit comes with a variety of delicious seasonal fruits, such as apples, oranges, pears, and a 12.5 oz. jar of chocolate sauce that is really tasty too. The fondue set also comes with a red ceramic bowl to warm the chocolate sauce in. The bowl sits upon a strong stainless steel stand that also comes with a tea light candle, that when lit, keeps the chocolate sauce warm. There are four fondue forks that are used to pick up the fruit and dip into the sauce before eating. I found that the bowl did not look like the one in the picture on the website, but I love the bowl that came in the kit I received, because it is quite large, sturdy, very attractive, and is perfect for warming chocolate and caramel sauce. I have made my own sugar-free sauce with carob powder, almond milk, and four packets of Stevia. I really like the Fondue Delight Gift Basket and think it makes a great gift for any special occasion.


Valentine's Day Cookie Cake: Is it a cookie? Is it a cake? Well, it is both! This is a supersized cookie cake that is in the shape of a heart with writing on it that says, “Happy Valentine’s Day”. I must say that if you like cookie dough treats, then this huge cookie cake is great to give as a gift for someone you love or for yourself. It is a big 9 inch cookie cake that is chewy with chocolate chips and high quality milk chocolate. My daughter and I loved eating this Valentine’s Day Cookie Cake, but I think that I ate the most of it. I highly recommend this cookie cake to anyone who really loves chocolate chips and cookie dough. This cookie cake is one of Gourmet Gift Baskets best products and is a perfect gift to give for Valentine's Day.


I have just shared with you two of my favorite Gourmet Gift Baskets offerings for Valentine’s Day, but there are many more delicious products to choose from.

Best Gourmet Gift Baskets Cheesecakes for the fall Season

by Philippa Lane                                              


Well, it is that time of year again, when autumn leaves start to fall and the weather becomes a little bit more brisk. During this special season I start to think about the scents of cinnamon, apples, pumpkin pie, and enjoy these delicious smells in my home. It is also during the fall season when I enjoy the taste of pumpkin and GourmetGiftBaskets.com has two wonderful cheesecakes that are perfect for this time of the year and would make great gifts for someone you love or for yourself.  

GourmetGiftBaskets.com is a company that began with two family members in the basement of a flower shop and specializes in making and creating gourmet gift baskets, cakes, cookies, and cheesecakes for all seasons and occasions.  The cheesecakes are so delicious and taste much better than any I have bought from grocery stores. I also have attempted to make cheesecake from scratch from home, but none of the ones that I made look and taste the way the ones from GourmetGiftBaskets.com do.

Two of my favorite cheesecakes from GourmetGiftBaskets.com for the fall season are:
                                                                         
Pumpkin Cheesecake: Yes, this is a cheesecake that tastes just like a pumpkin pie, but only creamier and more decadent! It is large in size- 9 inches and can serve 10 to 14 people, so it makes a perfect cheesecake to serve to guests.  Not only does this cheesecake taste wonderful, but it looks beautiful too, and is made with a graham cracker crust, a special cream cheese/pumpkin puree mixture, and a whipped cream topping that is very creamy and thick. I also love the cinnamon flavor, which is not too overpowering, but adds the perfect spice that helps make the cheesecake taste so good! This is a perfect dessert that would finish off a meal or can be enjoyed just by itself for the fall and winter season. Price: $42.99

Thanksgiving Gift Cheesecake: Now this is a great cheesecake for anyone who loves variety and is perfect to serve during the Thanksgiving holiday, but really it can be enjoyed any time of year. I really should have eaten this cheesecake in moderation, but I do not think that I did. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed this Thanksgiving Gift Cheesecake so much that it was gone in 3 days. The Thanksgiving Gift Cheesecake has eight flavors, such as- Cherry Almond, New York, Turtle, Cookies & Crème, Strawberry Swirl, Amaretto, and Triple Chocolate. My favorite flavors are Cherry Almond, Amaretto, and New York. I love to eat a slice of the cheesecake while sipping on a cup of Matcha Green Tea. The cheesecake tastes very rich, thick, and creamy, but it is good to let it dethaw a little before eating it. There are two slices of each flavor, which makes it perfect for sharing with someone else. My daughter and I shared the slices between the two of us, but I ate the most.  This cheesecake makes a wonderful gift to give to someone you love or to enjoy on Thanksgiving Day with family and friends.  Price: $54.99

GourmetGiftBaskets.com offers a variety of delicious cheesecakes to choose from and I highly recommend checking out their website. The two aforementioned cheesecakes that I shared with you are some of my favorites for the fall season. All I can say is that they are scrumptious, yummy, and delicious!
