Have you considered being in the business of surprising people and spreading a smile? Gifts are designed to do just that and gift baskets are the best way to do it….Or at least, millions of Americans think so! Believe it or not, the gift basket creation is one of the fastest growing businesses of this decade, thanks to the mushrooming of home based businesses and independent shops catering to the corporate world.

Why gift baskets are always ‘in’

• Special arrangement
• Many gifts are better than one!
• Custom-made option
• Prices are usually reasonable  
• Suits any occasion (whether birthday, wedding or anniversary)
• Can be modified to suit expressions of appreciation, sympathy or congratulation
• Sensible for corporate clients

Bath gift baskets – This includes all the toiletries (soaps, creams, scented oils, lotions) that play on the senses and make you feel well and truly pampered.

Shower gift baskets – These are designed for baby showers or weddings or other events that are celebrated among family and friends. These baskets are not only eye-catching; they contain very useful, timely items.

Food baskets - Who can resist these! Great for any occasion, these baskets can also please corporate clients.

Customized baskets – This is the basket of imagination! You can come up with just about any theme for this category. It actually depends on what your customer wants but you are free to offer creative input.

Here are some points to ponder:

• What kind of gift baskets do I want to make? What material do I use?
• How can I use my location in my business strategy?
• Will I focus on the corporate sector or target family celebrations?
• How much space do I need to allocate in my home?
• How will I reach my target market?

There are many opportunities and avenues to prosper in your chosen field. In a business that’s kind of like an art, it’s not easy to arrive at sensible prices. People who love your creations will perhaps pay more than what you expect. But you need to know the baseline.

A part time home based business is likely to bring in revenue of over $10,000 but this depends on how hard you work. If you are committed towards making the client perfectly happy, it will get you more word-of-mouth business too. A survey conducted for the Gift Basket Review shows that about three quarters of the respondents earned more than $ 50,000 per year. An annual figure of over $ 200,000 was reported by a few in this group.  Generally, profits are thought to average at about 20% of sales or more.
