College Care Packages Ahh

College Care Packages with Love When I was a teenager my parents would send me off to camp for the summer. The one thing I looked forward to more than letters from friends was a care package from my parents. Some girls got a care package each week packed with junk food, random crap that would make us laugh, and pictures. Even though I did not receive a package each week like some of the luckier campers, I treasured the packages I got more because they were more unexpected and much better created. Since my mother owns a gift basket company, my care packages were never carelessly tossed into a cardboard box, but instead were presented in a decorative basket wrapped in bows. Not only was the presentation incomparable, but my mom’s company has access to products which you can’t buy off the shelves in your local super store. My packages were always packed with gourmet food such as fresh fruit, exceptional chocolate bars, various snack mixes, tea and hot chocolate, and one of a kind cookies and candies. I would always share my baskets with my friends and for years after, my camp friends would ask me where my mom had found specific delicacies that they had only ever found in the contents of my camp care packages. Two months ago I moved out east for school after twenty one years of living in the same state as my parents. Although real homesickness hasn’t set in yet, it has been hard being apart from my friends and family and there are days which are harder than others. A few weeks ago I got a surprise package. I tore the box open to find a gift basket much like the ones my mom used to send me at camp. It contained ‘energy’ jelly beans, fruit and nut mix, gourmet chocolate bars and cookies, some of the best granola bars I’ve ever had in my life, and my bike bell which I had left behind at my parents’ house. inspiration gift basketsIt was the most welcome taste of home I could have hoped for and it reminded me that no matter how far from home you are, your family is always there to take care of you. It was the most wonderful surprise I’ve gotten in a while and it reminded me that my family is proud of my accomplishments and goals. As you get ready to send your student back to school this fall, think of the little things you can do to remind them that you care for them. Visit Baskets By Rita’s website to see our collection of care packages including our Oh The Places You'll Go Gift Basket which is the perfect gift for you to show your student how proud you are of them. Oh the Places You'll Go book by Dr. Seuss is the theme for this celebration basket that is great for all ages. For that special person in your life, help them celebrate with our willow basket filled with Dr Seuss book, Colorado Popcorn Company gourmet flavored popcorn, Brent and Sam's gourmet cookies, Ghirardelli chocolates, Nune's mixed nuts, Themed Snack Mix, and other great assorted gourmet treats. Whether for a birthday, graduation, or just because you miss them, a Baskets By Rita gift is the perfect gift for any student who needs a sentimental reminder of home.

Valentine's Beer to Say Be Mine

Everyone knows that Valentine’s Day is the time to communicate your love to your boyfriend. The problem is that it can be certainly very difficult for you women to figure out what to give to your guy. You could always get something hot for yourself and use this as your present to him, but for some lovers this just won’t work. jewelry is the customary gift, but seriously, women like these presents more than your guy does. You could buy him an a new bike, but then you might not hear a word from him for the next two weeks. So, with that in mind what are your other options? Let beer be the answer! I’m fairly confident he will think it’s a awesome gift. Now, don’t just go purchase a six-pack of any normal beer and present it to him in a brown paper bag; only other guys can be so not groovy.

Instead,start up your computer and search for basketsbyrita.com and order a Valentine beer tub to be shipped to his work. This will cost a bit more than that stand alone beer, but it will be SO worth it. Imagine his great surprise when the courier arrives (or FedEx package) with a Valentines beer tubBeer gift for Valentines day full of awesome micro brews and awesome tasting food items. Make sure to have the gift card says something like “I thought you’d love this almost as much as me. See you tonight! Love.” The work group will be jealous over this present. The women will all be saying “oh, how nice” and the guys will be thinking about what uncool thing their girl friend bought them. You can be sure the guys will be thinking “she really know how to buy the right gift!” We can even put a couple extra chocolates in the tub that he can share with you. If he’s really a very nice guy, he’ll share the beer with you. You won't make him feel bad if he doesn't right?

Champagne Celebration For Chirstmas

As a true Coloradoan, I have had my share of white Christmases. I often pity people who have never experienced the beauty of snow falling outside a well lit window with glimmering lights reflecting off the snowy terrain. Christmas decorations always seem more becoming when set upon a snowy white setting. While snow is not essential to have a merry Christmas, fine food is a must! A few of my favorite Christmas treats are hot chocolate, peanut brittle and caramels, cookies, dipped pretzels, caramel corn, candy canes, cheese and sausage, hot coffee, and baked goods. The best thing about all of these goodies is that even if I don’t have the time to make them myself, there are loads of good Colorado businesses which make all these Christmas treats not far from where I live. When I need a pick me up to get me in the Christmas spirit or a quick gift to bring with me to a Christmas party, send to my friends and family across the country, or need a merry table topper for my Christmas table, I sign on to www.basketsbyrita.com and purchase their Colorado Christmas Basket. It contains all my favorite Colorado Christmas goodies, bringing Christmas wishes to my friends and family without the hours of struggling in the kitchen to create all your favorite holiday treats. Our Colorado Christmas gift basket is an annual tradition for over 18 years. A fabulous blend of savory and sweet Colorado favorites are brought together in this holiday green willow basket topped off with a festive red and white candy striped bow: This gift selection is also available in an eco-friendly gift bag.

At home spa treatment AAH!

A long week of work and courses makes me ready to sit back and take it easy as soon as the weekend arrives. But we all know that the probability of me getting a weekend full of spa like services and peace and quiet is not really probable. Though I’m not working I usually wind up with a number of errands that’s stacked up throughout the week, a house to clean, and a heap of other miscellaneous projects that creep themselves into my life somehow. While I might be able to talk someone into giving me a five minute back rub, I don’t think I’ll have time for a facial and a massage. In this world where we live such fast paced lives, it is almost impossible to sneak away for an hour or two let alone a whole day to just put aside our crazy lives and spend some ‘me’ time. While I can perhaps add in a trip to the tanning salon or a waxing appointment once a month, it’s by no means enough to help me feel like I’ve truly treated myself. When a holiday or a birthday comes around and someone asks me what I want, the first thing that comes to mind is “gift cards” or “a new can opener.” Although these may be wise presents, they are necessities and buying these essentials doesn’t require much sympathy. candle and bath basketA present should be a thing you want, not a thing you need. Sometimes we forget our own merit and we need a friend to come in and remind us to take some time for our self. A gift should persuade you to take care of yourself, not help you run yourself further into the ground. Although I can say I wouldn’t have much spare time to arrange a spa appointment even if I received a gift card, I know a few home remedies that will do the trick almost as well. When I find a friend has been working too much and needs a some love, I order them a spa basket from Baskets By Rita to tell them to take a bit of time for their self. Baskets By Rita loads their baskets full of high quality spa products for an all inclusive, at home full spa treatment. The Candle and Bath Gift Basket is a great example of the varieties of products Baskets By Rita includes. This gift basket has a high quality Soy candle and Spa quality bath products that will impress and delight that special someone. Beautifully wrapped and tied with a bow and butterfly.. A gift basket for a woman is the perfect gift basket for any woman. For the person who needs to reduce a little stress and break away from the world for a few hours, order a Baskets By Rita gift baskets for a woman to let them see they’re deserving of a chance to settle down.

Give the Gift of Fine Wine and Cheese Gift Baskets

wine and cheese gift basket
Throughout human history, wine has been a celebratory drink savored in both social and religious events and rituals. For centuries wine has been savored for luxury, festivity, and religious functions. Wine was historically thought to have healing benefits and red wine is confirmed to be good for heart health. Though not all civilizations drank wine for recreation, almost every world culture has a wine history whether used as libation or medicine. In my life, wine is appropriate for festivity, leisure, and occasionally, as medicine. This fact alone makes wine the right gift for any occasion. Whenever I need a gift when visiting a friend’s home, as a housewarming present, or in order to say “thank you,” wine is my first choice. Wine is not only a fashionable gift, but it’s easy to pair with appetizers, meals, and desserts. Enjoyed in high class society, wine pairings and tastings are a great way to network and spend time with friends. What a great occasion to socialize and learn a thing or two as well!

Recently, I found myself in charge of organizing a relatively large social event. In all the turmoil of making arrangements, I forgot to notify one of the event sponsors of a change in date. The day before the occasion, we became aware of the error when I got a phone call from the sponsor. Because of the miscommunication, they were unable to be involved in the event and had blocked time out of their schedule in vain. My initial response in apology was to send the sponsor a wine and cheese basket from Baskets By Rita. For $150 I was able to send them a basket loaded with a variety of red and white wines, cookies, an assortment of cheeses, smoked salmon, gourmet crackers, summer sausage, olives, dried fruits, caramel corn, candy, snack mix, fine chocolates, mixed nuts, and more. I felt that this would be a gift that could be shared among all of their employees and I hoped it would convey my apologies for the misunderstanding. I would suggest a Baskets By Rita wine basket for any occasion for which wine is suitable. Whether you need to say thank you, send a housewarming gift, apologize, or present a gift when visiting a friend, Baskets By Rita has the perfect wine basket which include Wine and Cheese Gift Basket for the occasion.  Our wine and cheese gift basket is  the prefect choice for that special someone. Our split willow and rope basket is filled with Rodney Strong Merlot wine, assorted cheeses, crackers, sausage, chocolate bar, mixed nuts and snack mix. Our wine and cheese gift basket is a prefect hotel welcome gift, thank you, anniversary or even a birthday.  Want a different bottle of wine just call us.  Visit their cheese basket page to see their many designs and choices.

Golfers and Fishermen Love Summer Gourmet Gifts

The summer months allows for lots of time outdoor playing! When I think of summertime I remember growing up in rural America and spending more time outdoors than I ever spent inside. This is great for kids lots of fresh air, energetic activities and social time with siblings and neighbor kids. I learned that I could practically keep up with the boys and I love doing outdoor physical things. I probably I should have spent a bit more time reading books.

With that said I think of the food that we loved in this summer thinks like iced tea, watermelon, salt water taffy, fresh vegetables from the garden. Oh how sweet it was!
summer celebration gift baskets
Did you know that 40% of gifts are a disappointment to the recipient hence 40% of the gifts we give are unwelcome and the everyday person gives 29 gifts per year of an average gift costs US $52. Wow that is huge I highly recommend food gifts next time. Consider a Summer Celebration Gift Basket. We have designed a taste of Summer in a basket. This “sunny” stained willow basket is filled with taffy, crackers, cheddar cheese spread, beef summer sausage, almonds, Key Lime and white chocolate chip cookies, three cheese snack mix, popcorn, tortilla chips, salsa, Sunkist fruit gems, candy, a brownie and more. This makes a perfect Happy Birthday gift basket, Get Well basket, Congratulations gift, Welcome basket or Thinking of You gift basket.  .

“Taking care of the human facet of a company is one of the superlative investments a company can make in terms of growing morale and efficiency,” explained Corporate Relations Specialist, Marge Van Woerkom whose Denver/Fort Collins-based company, Baskets by Rita markets gifts for any occasion.  “As a specialist in corporate relations, we aid our clients in taking care of the human aspect of business.”


One way of shielding and growing the human feature of a company is seizing the opportunity to reward the people who make the everyday operations happen. “During my corporate career at HP, I discovered that an important part of acquiring a company was making certain that the key employees felt valued and would remain loyal because they were the company,” elaborated Van Woerkom. “Gift baskets are a great way to recognize the “administrative professionals.”

Eco friendly choices around the holiday

Let’s consider behaviors to be green for the holiday this season. Everyone is  to get on the band wagon of going green. Not only is it good for the economy but it is also beneficial for the pocket book. In the year of economic downturn and this eco friendly mind set let’s brainstorm various ways to be green and save money.


Buy a live tree or even a artificial Christmas tree. Live trees can be plant and enjoyed for years. If you don’t have a yard for planting one then get an artificial one you can use over and over again.


If you put up Christmas lights purchase led lights if you have the funds . If not, then be sure to have your lights on a timer and only run them from sunset until you go to bed. No need lighting up the nighttime when no one is out to enjoy them.


Wrap your presents it recycled paper and decorate them with old ribbon and sparkles. You can also do what we have done for a long time, and wrap your gifts in cloth bags that can used year after year. The drawback of these bags is that they are easy to open so someone could peek if they actually wanted to.


Purchase greeting card printed on recycled paper.  You could even forgo the snail mail this year and send e-card as a substitute.

Eco friendly colorado holiday gift bag
Avoid shopping at malls this year. Driving all over town trying to find the perfect gift wastes valuable time and money. You can shopping on line and even buy from local companies in the process. Mull over gift that you feel confident they will use, need and enjoy. Everyone enjoys high quality food and everyone has to eat so think about giving a gourmet food gift. Now take this one step further and decide on a gourmet food gift that comes in an eco-friendly shopping bag. These awesome bags come in reusable nylon or 100% recycled reusable. The nylon bag becomes a little rolls for easy convenient carrying in your car.  The 100% recycled bag doesn’t use any new materials to construct. They are both practical choices. I found that Basketsbyrita offers Eco Friendly Gourmet Holiday Gift Bag and an Eco-Friendly Colorado Holiday Gift.  Your holiday shopping just got eco-friendly since you shopped on line, got something useful, did something that was good for the environment and your recipient will love it. Done! Happy Holidays.

Chocolate and wine for holiday gift giving

Christmas Holiday Gift Baskets what a mouth full
Christmas is a very trendy time of year for many businesses to give presents. Many businesses follow, what I believe, is a very smart path by avoiding anything that has religious implications. That means that the gifts they give will not include the words Christmas or will they use the words Happy Christmas in their card. A company wants to give a gift that will be remembered and appreciated.  This time of year is so emotionally charged with the feeling of another year passed by and reflection on the year as a whole. There is also optimism about the coming year too. The corporate holiday gift is an important method for companies to say thank you for your business and along with that is the expectation there will be a feeling of loyalty for repeated business.  A Chocolate Christmas gift basket is an brilliant choice for a business.  A chocolate Holiday gift basket is great since everyone enjoys tasty food. However, take your time and choose shrewdly many gift baskets are quickly put together and contain foods that you can get in any grocery store. You want the presentation to be stunning and the food to taste fantastic. Otherwise the gift basket, which is a representation of your business, will create a feeling of quick dismissive. Giving gifts automatically creates a kind of social obligation to want to do something for the person.
chocolate christmas gift basket
Business often times give holiday wine gift baskets and beer basket at the holidays. I would encourage doing that only if you know the client well and you are confident that the alcohol will be esteemed. Corporate holiday gifts come in all sizes and themes so corporate gifts can be selectedchosen to suggest the import ants of the recipient. This conclusion might also be driven by the size of the group the gift basket is intended for. It often times is more gainful to gift a single gift to the team instead of one small one for each person.  The choice is yours.

Eco friendly choices around the holiday

Let’s consider behaviors to be green for the holiday this season. Everyone is  to get on the band wagon of going green. Not only is it good for the economy but it is also beneficial for the pocket book. In the year of economic downturn and this eco friendly mind set let’s brainstorm various ways to be green and save money.


Buy a live tree or even a artificial Christmas tree. Live trees can be plant and enjoyed for years. If you don’t have a yard for planting one then get an artificial one you can use over and over again.


If you put up Christmas lights purchase led lights if you have the funds . If not, then be sure to have your lights on a timer and only run them from sunset until you go to bed. No need lighting up the nighttime when no one is out to enjoy them.


Wrap your presents it recycled paper and decorate them with old ribbon and sparkles. You can also do what we have done for a long time, and wrap your gifts in cloth bags that can used year after year. The drawback of these bags is that they are easy to open so someone could peek if they actually wanted to.


Purchase greeting card printed on recycled paper.  You could even forgo the snail mail this year and send e-card as a substitute.

Eco friendly colorado holiday gift bag
Avoid shopping at malls this year. Driving all over town trying to find the perfect gift wastes valuable time and money. You can shopping on line and even buy from local companies in the process. Mull over gift that you feel confident they will use, need and enjoy. Everyone enjoys high quality food and everyone has to eat so think about giving a gourmet food gift. Now take this one step further and decide on a gourmet food gift that comes in an eco-friendly shopping bag. These awesome bags come in reusable nylon or 100% recycled reusable. The nylon bag becomes a little rolls for easy convenient carrying in your car.  The 100% recycled bag doesn’t use any new materials to construct. They are both practical choices. I found that Basketsbyrita offers Eco Friendly Gourmet Holiday Gift Bag and an Eco-Friendly Colorado Holiday Gift.  Your holiday shopping just got eco-friendly since you shopped on line, got something useful, did something that was good for the environment and your recipient will love it. Done! Happy Holidays.

Christmas Holiday Gift Baskets what a mouth full
Christmas is a very trendy time of year for many businesses to give presents. Many businesses follow, what I believe, is a very smart path by avoiding anything that has religious implications. That means that the gifts they give will not include the words Christmas or will they use the words Happy Christmas in their card. A company wants to give a gift that will be remembered and appreciated.  This time of year is so emotionally charged with the feeling of another year passed by and reflection on the year as a whole.

Bar Exam Gifts Don't Include Frogs

Usually the year starts out on a high note,nearly have their resolutions either writtenon paper or at least in their heads. This time of reflection on the past year gives us a perception of what we would like to transform going forward. Change is always excellent but hard to embrace and to bring about. As the employee charge withperks for the employees I find it challenging to pick the right gifts that consist of the correct product for the right event that will please the majority.  We all know that nothing is just the thing so it goes with gifts. I call it one size fits all which really means some will love and others will be mildly impressed. I have learn that there are people out there more apt to make these design choices than I am. I have been working with Basketsbyrita.com for many years now and they are completely trustworthy. stress relief gift basket

They write the following:

Many companies employ over worked over stressed employees that they count on to lead the company through these tough times. These employees are the future successors that are working to finish projects, pass the bar exam or perhaps taking on other duties where others have been laid off. These folks need a little TLC from time to time. If they are the new lawyer preparing for the bar exam send them a stress relief gift basket or survival gift basket the week prior to the exam along with a note stating ‘hang in there we are rooting for you’. If it a project in it’s final stages send the survival basket to their home to say “we appreciate all your extra efforts to keep the project on schedule.

The advantage this gift and message send far out way the dollars spent on these gifts. Statistics show that 60% of employees leave a firm because they did not feel valued.  Having working in HR for a large corporation I recognize what it takes to keep employees fulfilled. Most of all I have learned that relationships are critical to the success of any firm. http://www.basketsbyrita.com/Care-Packages_c_31.html

Cheese and Fruit Paired for Success

Boy could you go on for indefinitely about cheese. The French believe that the more stinky the better the cheese. Business people think that to hold on you need to realize that your cheese might get moved. Kids grew up with the stinky cheese man. Farmers know that if they can't sell their milk to a grade A dairy they can always sell it as grade B and it will be made into cheese. Wow that is a lot of Discussion about cheese without really saying anything. Cheese comes in so many types it is hard to keep up. I know that there are people that are as snooty about cheese as there are about wine. I have become quite fond of cheese over the years. I even have learned to love goat cheese. Basketsbyrita's recent task is to seek out great cheese that is shelf stable so we can put it for you in a gift basket. fruit and cheese gift basket

Basketsbyrita offers a cheese basket, a fruit and cheese gift basket, a wine and cheese basket and of course gourmet baskets which all have cheese in them. We provide everything from a smoked pepper cheese to a smooth mild Havarti cheese. The possibilities are endless so we are working hard to offer them all. Our recent offering is a beer cheese for our beer gift baskets.

So don't let the stinky cheese man steel your cheese and if he moves it stay at it until you find it and cut it share with your farmer friends okay!

A Man's Perspective on Valentine's Day

Everyone knows that Valentine’s Day is the time to convey your love to your husband.  The problem is that it can be really quite hard for you ladies to discern what to purchase for your man. You could always get something sexy for yourself and use this as your gift to him, but for some couples this just won’t work.  Flowers are the conventional gifts, but frankly, ladies like these gifts more than your man does.  You could get him an a new TV, but then you might not won't hear a word from him for the next two weeks. So, what’s a girl to do? Let beer be the answer!

valentine beer tub gift
I’m fairly confident he will think it’s a great gift. Now, don’t just go purchase a six-pack of any ordinary beer and drop it on his lap; only other guys can be so insensitive. Be creative,fire up your computer and look up basketsbyrita.com and order a Valentine beer tub gift to be delivered to his work in Colorado.  This will cost a little more than a six pack, but it will be SO worth it.  Think about his shock when the courier shows up (or FedEx package) with a beer tub full of well known microbrews and appropriate snacks.  Be certain to have the enclosure card says something like “I thought you’d love this almost as much as me.  See you tonight!  Love.”  The office staff will be flipping over this gift.  The women will all be saying “oh, how considerate” and the guys will be wondering what embarrassing thing their spouse/girl friend got them.  You can be sure the guys will be thinking “Oh man, how amazing!”  We can even put a few extra chocolates in the tub that he can share with you.  If he’s really a awesome guy, he’ll share the beer with you.  You won’t give him a guilt trip if he doesn’t will you?

Relationship Building Ideas For Business

One luxury apartment complex is not like the other! You might ask yourself what represents true high end living? Some expensive apartment complexes provide everything you could want except for the personal attention that is most important. Not so for one apartment complex in the greater Denver area. Not only to they provide everything from charminglyappointed unit they have a theater, fitness center, gardens, covered parking and a common area for socializing. This company approached us about a year ago looking for a new company to provide their new tenant gifts. They had been working with another gift basket company that just didn't seem to value them as a customer. We met to discuss what they needed and I provided them with some samples of gifts within their budget to use as welcome gifts to new and renewing leaseholders.
healthy food gift basket
One year later we are still filling their extensive orders for welcome gifts. The management wasn't sure which design to settle on so for a few months we were sending them half Colorado welcome gifts and half healthy food gift baskets. Finally after talking to leaseholders about the baskets the decided on the Colorado gift basket. Ever month we get a call requesting any where between 6 to 30 gifts baskets to be hand delivered in Denver to their exquisite condo complex. It takes about 1 minute on the phone and the order is complete and within a couple of days their baskets arrive by courier.
There's got to be a correlation between what they anticipated from their original gift basket company and how they treat their tenants

It often times is more gainful to gift a single gift to the team instead of one small one for each person.  The choice is yours.

Eco friendly choices around the holiday

Let’s consider behaviors to be green for the holiday this season. Everyone is  to get on the band wagon of going green. Not only is it good for the economy but it is also beneficial for the pocket book. In the year of economic downturn and this eco friendly mind set let’s brainstorm various ways to be green and save money.


Buy a live tree or even a artificial Christmas tree. Live trees can be plant and enjoyed for years. If you don’t have a yard for planting one then get an artificial one you can use over and over again.


If you put up Christmas lights purchase led lights if you have the funds . If not, then be sure to have your lights on a timer and only run them from sunset until you go to bed. No need lighting up the nighttime when no one is out to enjoy them.


Wrap your presents it recycled paper and decorate them with old ribbon and sparkles. You can also do what we have done for a long time, and wrap your gifts in cloth bags that can used year after year. The drawback of these bags is that they are easy to open so someone could peek if they actually wanted to.


Purchase greeting card printed on recycled paper.  You could even forgo the snail mail this year and send e-card as a substitute.

Avoid shopping at malls this year. Driving all over town trying to find the perfect gift wastes valuable time and money. You can shopping on line and even buy from local companies in the process. Mull over gift that you feel confident they will use, need and enjoy. Everyone enjoys high quality food and everyone has to eat so think about giving a gourmet food gift. Now take this one step further and decide on a gourmet food gift that comes in an eco-friendly shopping bag. These awesome bags come in reusable nylon or 100% recycled reusable. The nylon bag becomes a little rolls for easy convenient carrying in your car.  The 100% recycled bag doesn’t use any new materials to construct. They are both practical choices. I found that Basketsbyrita offers Eco Friendly Gourmet Holiday Gift Bag and an Eco-Friendly Colorado Holiday Gift.  Your holiday shopping just got eco-friendly since you shopped on line, got something useful, did something that was good for the environment and your recipient will love it. Done! Happy Holidays.

Chocolate and wine for holiday gift giving

Christmas Holiday Gift Baskets what a mouth full
Christmas is a very trendy time of year for many businesses to give presents. Many businesses follow, what I believe, is a very smart path by avoiding anything that has religious implications. That means that the gifts they give will not include the words Christmas or will they use the words Happy Christmas in their card. A company wants to give a gift that will be remembered and appreciated.  This time of year is so emotionally charged with the feeling of another year passed by and reflection on the year as a whole. There is also optimism about the coming year too. The corporate holiday gift is an important method for companies to say thank you for your business and along with that is the expectation there will be a feeling of loyalty for repeated business.  A Chocolate Christmas gift basket is an brilliant choice for a business.  A chocolate Holiday gift basket is great since everyone enjoys tasty food. However, take your time and choose shrewdly many gift baskets are quickly put together and contain foods that you can get in any grocery store. You want the presentation to be stunning and the food to taste fantastic. Otherwise the gift basket, which is a representation of your business, will create a feeling of quick dismissive. Giving gifts automatically creates a kind of social obligation to want to do something for the person.

Business often times give holiday wine gift baskets and beer basket at the holidays. I would encourage doing that only if you know the client well and you are confident that the alcohol will be esteemed. Corporate holiday gifts come in all sizes and themes so corporate gifts can be selectedchosen to suggest the import ants of the recipient. This conclusion might also be driven by the size of the group the gift basket is intended for. It often times is more gainful to gift a single gift to the team instead of one small one for each person.  The choice is yours.
