More About Gift Baskets

Good Things Come in Big Baskets!

Few presents are as thrilling to give as they are to receive. Eli's Gift Baskets really are. The recipient opens a French, wooden basket so over-stuffed with wonderful items--mostly made by Eli Zabar himself, or when not, almost impossible to find anywhere else that the top does not close properly. The giver then has the pleasure of receiving a note or phone call and gets to hear exactly what was in the basket -- what was on the top layer, what was in the middle, how they have been unpacking things for days and the bottom is nowhere in sight and what they are willing to do for another one soon.

We have baskets for any occasion imaginable -- new babies and new brides, celebrations and bereavements, lonely New Yorkers exiled to the hinterlands and unable to find real food, a basket for your friend the choco-chocoholicholic who could really use a fix, baskets for an overdue thank you, and baskets that are designed to please a large crowd.

Each basket is available in several sizes, from modest to magnificent. The bigger baskets contain a larger collection and quantity of our House-Baked Classics and pantry essentials, but even the smallest basket is a joy to receive. Each one is packed to order, festooned with ribbons and lined with a useful tea towel. They can be shipped anywhere in the USA, any time of year. These baskets are very popular during the holidays. But how people do swoon when they receive a basket, say, in March, mid-mud season, from a friend who just wants them to know that they are grand.
