When a friend or business colleague has reason to celebrate, often the first thing we think of to send are flowers. Now, flowers are lovely: they're the traditional way to say thanks or "thinking of you." But flowers please only two senses: the eyes, and the nose, and even then the pleasure is fleeting.

Simple or Luxe, Always Impressive
For the same amount of money one might spend on even a simple arrangement of daisies, sweet-peas and baby's breath, an impressive gourmet food basket from Wine Country Gift Baskets could be delivered to the same friend's door. Gourmet food baskets, like the very popular "Gone Fishin'," features fruit candies, almond roca, chocolate bon bons and ginger spice cookies--all made by famous gourmet food purveyors. It's delivered in a graduating stack of charmingly decorated fish-motif gift boxes, tied together with gold and blue ribbons. And, it costs less than $20 dollars!

High end options also exist. For the true gourmand, there's the "Weekend in Napa" gift basket, a beautiful oversized wicker basket overflowing with wine and savory items. The Weekend in Napa basket features three fine, excellently reviewed California wines--a merlot, a fume blanc, and a cabernet, for instance--nestled alongside smoked salmon, Camembert cheese, champagne and hazelnut truffles, sourdough bread rounds, olive tapenade, and fine European chocolates and confections. Impressive it sounds, and impressive it is!

Plus, at $175, it costs less than a high-end bouquet would from an exclusive florist. Wine Country Gift Baskets features over 100 unique ways to express your feelings to friends, loved ones, and business colleagues. After all, a rose, is a rose, is a rose; gift baskets are a feast.
