When it comes to Christmas or even another special occasion like Mother’s Day, an anniversary or a birthday, we are always on the lookout for the best possible gifts. Baskets make great gifts for a variety of reasons. Not only do they look great, but they are also packed with a variety of high quality items that make the recipient feel pampered and special. Of course, not all are created equal and the recipient may have some health issues that prevent them from purchasing any regular gift hamper.

 

Diabetic hampers

A common condition that many people suffer from is diabetes. Regardless of what type of diabetes they have, don’t risk making it worse by sending a basket of chocolates or one filled with candy. The good news is that special diabetic gift hamper options are available. These baskets have been carefully crafted to accommodate people with diabetes without sacrificing quality. This type of gift will give the recipient the feeling of being pampered without worrying about whether or not they can squeeze into the delicious contents.

 

Gluten-free

Another common condition is known as celiac disease and involves an intolerance to gluten. Gluten is found in many products that we normally consume without even thinking twice. It is good to know that, just like a gift hamper for diabetics, there are also gluten-free baskets specially prepared for those suffering from celiac disease.

 

Pamper hamper

Another idea for those with diabetes or limited to a gluten-free diet is a gift hamper filled with pamper products. A basket filled with luxurious bath and body products is a great way to pamper the recipient with some goodies to help them relax. Since these are body products, you don’t have to worry about the recipient’s diet limitations and your shopping cart won’t be at risk.

 

Hidden ingredients

In this sense, if you are thinking of sending a wine basket, you should be aware that some ingredients used to make wine may contain gluten and traces of gluten may remain in the wine. That said, some wine products like port are believed to be gluten-free due to the distillation process. If you’re not sure, it’s best to check the label and ask the recipient or loved ones what types of wine, whiskey, or other spirits they might like.

 

Diet watchers

If you want to send a gift hamper to someone you know is watching their weight and you don’t want to upset their weight loss plan, you can opt for a healthy basket with fruit instead of foods high in sugar and carbohydrates. Even cheese and wine baskets can be a well-deserved treat that won’t completely destroy your diet, as long as they’re enjoyed in moderation.

No matter the occasion, the most important point to consider when shopping for a gift hamper are the needs of the recipient. When you keep them in mind and you take a good look at the contents of the basket, you can never go wrong.
