Bountiful Harvest Fruit Basket

Gourmet Gift Baskets Review

Gourmet Gift Basket's Bountiful Harvest Basket scores big in the variety and quantity department for gourmet items. This basket had some wonderful things like Marich's chocolate and The Kings Cupboard Creme Caramel. Their mixes of dried fruit and nuts caught us by surprise; the packing is kind of lame but the contents inside were actually really good. We hope Gourmet Gift Baskets will change their packaging to match their product. The fruit in the basket was kind of an afterthought, probably since gourmet items are what Gourmet Gift Baskets primarily sells.

FRUIT

 

Three Red Delicious and One Granny Smith Apple - Not the highest quality apples we've received. Although they were shiny and had a deep red color they were a little bruised and the taste wasn't superior.

Two Navel Oranges - Pretty standard Sunkist brand Navel oranges, though one had a soft spot on it that was ready to spoil. One thing to remember about Gourmet Gift Baskets is that their company makes all kinds of gift baskets but doesn't really specialize in the fruit aspect. This is evident when you look at the quantity and variety of their gourmet items in the basket - they are more impressive than the fruit they included.

Three Argentinian D'Anjou Pears - The pears came in good shape, not too many scrapes and no bruises. Though they were a little on the small side they were a little nicer than the kind you buy in the grocery store.

SWEET GOURMET

Sweets for the Win - Gourmet Gift Baskets included a great selection of sweet gourmet items. The best item, in our opinion, was the King's Cupboard Cream Caramel - it was divine and perfect to disguise the kind of mediocre apples and pears. Other winners included Marich's Chocolate Covered Cherries, the only non-waxy/nasty/crayon-like chocolate covered cherries we've encountered. They are soft and melt easily in your mouth. The Marich Holland Mints were good too, with a light minty center. We liked the Brent and Sam's Chewy Chocolate Chunk Cookie but the website said "chocolate chip cookies" - it was just one cookie, so, kind of false advertising.

Mixing Things Up A Bit - Gourmet Gift baskets had a good amount of mixes in this basket - a sweet granola that was little sticky, mixed dried fruit that included dried pears and peaches, trail mix and mixed nuts. Sadly the packaging wasn't as nice as the contents inside - something that doesn't happen often. The granola was really tasty and had golden raisins, pecans, dried cranberries, pepitas, dried blueberries.

We Be Jammin - The Stonewall Kitchen jams were excellent. They came in small little jars but had big flavor. The orange cranberry marmalade was tangy and warm. The Raspberry Peach Champagne jam had raspberry seeds, little peach chunks and champagne - real champagne. Don't worry, all the alcohol has cooked out.

SAVORY GOURMET

Meats - We applaud Gourmet Gift Baskets efforts to include as much variety as they did. Most baskets don't even attempt meat because it is expensive. That is always exciting for the recipient to dig through their treasures. The summer sausage and smoked salmon gave the basket extra variety and yet, the quality was not as great. The salmon tasted like tuna canned tuna. The summer sausage was, well summer sausage - you either like it or you don't.

Cheese Fail - Gourmet Gift Basket's website says the basket includes "sharp Vermont cheddar cheese" - this is false. At least it was in the basket we received.We had to take off points for the Northwoods Cheese Company "cheese food". It looks like real cheese but it isn't. It is a "pasteurized cheese food product". It's basically like the pasticky American cheese singles but flavored like a nice cheese like gouda. The crackers seemed to be of a little higher quality but the box they came in was kind of hokey and generic looking.

Mixed Nuts - A nice balance of cashews, almonds, pecans, hazelnuts, Brazil nuts and peanuts. Not too salty and roasted to that point where they leave a nice nutty aftertaste. We wish the packing was nicer to compliment the quality nuts they include in their basket.

ABOUT GOURMET GIFT BASKETS

Gourmet Gift Baskets Fruit Basket History and Overview

Gourmet Gift Baskets is known for a lot more than just their great fruit baskets and wide variety of unique gift baskets. In 2009 they got publicity for entering into the industry's fight over the largest every cupcake and in recent months and years they have been featured on a wide range of TV shows, well known websites, and even some magazines.

If you were choosing your fruit baskets and gift baskets according to popularity, this could be a service that ranked at the very top of your list for all of this media attention. Yet, there is a lot more to the fruit baskets industry than just getting word out about the business. There has to be something very unique and extremely high quality to really win over customers in this super competitive industry.

Gift Baskets from Gourmet Gift Baskets

What Gourmet Gift Baskets has in their favor is creativity and variety. Some of the types of gift baskets they offer are quite unique, including:

• Beer Gift Baskets
• Gardening Gift Baskets
• Golf Gift Baskets
• Healthy Gift Baskets

You can also shop the site according to a specific special occasion or holiday and many of the fruit baskets and gift baskets offered are very different from what other companies are offering. Rather than offering the usual gift and fruit baskets like everyone else for these special holidays, they turn some of their more unusual offerings into special baskets for special holidays.

Their gift baskets are packed full of theme-oriented items from gardening gloves and seeds to sweet treats and chocolates. They even have gift baskets full of grilling and BBQ items!

Many of the gift baskets offered from Gourmet Gift Baskets would make excellent gifts for men. This is unusual since so many gift baskets on the market are out there for women who want or deserve something special. Many of the baskets featured from this service would be welcomed gifts to men as well as women, with quite a few being perfect just for men.

Fruit Baskets from Gourmet Gift Baskets

Fruit baskets are not the main product at Gourmet Gift Baskets, so you won't have as much selection here as you would with many other companies offering fruit baskets. They typically have 10-20 fruit baskets being offered and they are all very reasonably priced.

In fact, these fruit baskets will run  you quite a bit less than what you would pay with gourmet quality companies that focus directly on fruit baskets. This is probably because Gourmet Gift Baskets does not have their own fruit orchards and does not focus directly on this type of basket. They are more of a gift basket company offering a small selection of fruit baskets.

You can still find some good quality fruit baskets from their online store. Each is packed with an assortment of fresh fruit and some include other items like chocolate and nuts. There are also some gift baskets in this category that include a variety of nuts with dried fruits and sampler baskets that include cheese, crackers, and a wide variety of other treats.

There may not be a ton of selection in the department of fruit baskets with this company, but what they do have to offer is of reasonable quality. The benefit to ordering fruit baskets from them would probably be their prices. They are priced considerably lower than the bigger names in the fruit basket industry.

You don't see a lot of the creative basket themes in the fruit basket section. Those creative themes are left to the many gift baskets offered by the company. The fruit baskets offered are more luxurious and sophisticated. They would be perfect for someone you really want to impress or leave a lasting impression on.

Shopping with Gourmet Gift Baskets

There isn't much known about the history of Gourmet Gift Baskets, but it is clear that the company is owned by two talented and driven men in their 30s. They have gained a lot of publicity for the company by participating in quirky industry-specific contests such as trying to make the world's largest ever cupcake.

You won't find fruit and gift baskets from this company to be the best out there, but they do have some of the most unique baskets being offered today. They definitely stand out if you are shopping for gift baskets for men or very affordable gift baskets with tons of fruit and other treats packed in.

What you won't get from Gourmet Gift Baskets is organic fruit baskets or fruit that comes directly from the company's own orchards. You can get those luxuries from some other companies reviewed here, but this is not one of those sites. Their focus is not directly on fruit baskets, so they get most of their business from selling affordable and quirky gift baskets.

The gift baskets here are of high quality and could be one of your most affordable options. They just don't offer the wide selection that you can get elsewhere.

If you want gift baskets that are fun and unique, this is definitely a place to look. If you want a gift basket that will be well received by a man, this is the place to look. If you are interested in reasonable quality, lower priced fruit baskets, this is the place to look.

If you want top quality, beautifully hand-assembled fruit baskets with organic fruits, you will need to look elsewhere.

Gourmet Gift Baskets brings in fruit from many different states and countries so no matter what the time of year; you will be sending the freshest fruit in season.

So unlike most fruit basket companies in the Pacific Northwest where fruit is only at its peak for a short duration of the year, Gourmet Gift Baskets brings in Washington State Apples, Oregon Pears, Florida and California Oranges, and Costa Rican Pineapples. The result is a fruit basket that is filled with delicious fruit that is in season.

Gourmet Gift Baskets in the Media

GourmetGiftBaskets.com has been shown a lot of love by the media. Their gifts have been featured on Oprah, the Dr. Phil show, and the Food Network. Gourmet Gift Baskets have also been found in the pages of the following magazines: Gourmet, The Gourmet Retailer, Bon Appetite, Food & Wine, and Specialty Food.

For two years straight, Gourmet Gift Baskets has been voted by Alexa as the Official #1 Gift Basket Website. That is just one small example of how this company has proved themselves to go above and beyond the normal expectations. The Gourmet Gift Baskets Company has exceptional variety when it comes to their product line in this industry.

Variety is the Spice

Some of the most popular gifts rally around the themes of healthy, beer, organic, French, sea food, fruit towers, grilling and BBQ, breakfast and Italian. As you can plainly see, there are many options there that are not available at your local fruit basket supplier. Regardless of whether you are Christian or Jewish in your religious beliefs, Gourmet Gift Baskets is also available to take care of your Thanksgiving, Hanukkah and even your Christmas gift basket needs.

With prices ranging as low as under $25 on up to $125, you will be able to send whatever message for whatever price best meets your budget. There are specialty themes ranging from the Barefoot Contessa to Skiers and Football. Thinking outside the box may as well be the trade mark for Gourmet Gift Baskets and their product lines. Conventionality is not their thing. The Gourmet Gift Baskets Company likes to come up with the most useful, unique and artistic displays to keep you coming back again and again for your gift giving needs.

Pink for the Cure

Gourmet Gift Baskets Company is not just about supplying fabulous gift basket options. They are also passionate about going pink for the cure. It’s a way to donate to the Susan G. Komen for the cure to breast cancer. This company is not just about eating sweets, it’s about being sweet as they donate both time and money to the cause.

Their latest contribution has earned them a place in the Guinness world records. In an effort to raise money for Susan G. Komen’s Passionately Pink for the Cure foundation, Gourmet Gift Baskets has set forth to create the world’s largest cupcake. This feat seems both incredibly silly and incredibly impossible, but yet Gourmet Gift Baskets was able to accomplish this feat as a part of their goal to go pink. On August 15^th of 2009, Gourmet Gift Baskets Company had a cupcake that weighed in at 1,224 lbs. Indeed, the Gourmet Gift Baskets Company will continue to set and break records for a long time to come.

You want to send fresh fruit baskets, eatable fruit baskets, and ones that can be delivered right to the door of your loved one or friend. When choosing to deliver a dried fruit basket, a chocolate fruit basket, a cheese and fruit basket, or a wine and fruit basket, you need to know the tastes and likes of your recipient. Would they prefer a Florida fruit basket (FL), a New York fruit basket (NY), a New Jersey fruit basket (NJ) or a California fruit basket (CA)? Do they care more about fresh fruit or the gourmet items that are local or would they prefer the food and fruit come from another region of the country. The United States has four main areas that fruit baskets come from because the fruit is grown local. Oregon Fruit Baskets, Washington Fruit Baskets, Florida Fruit Baskets, and California Fruit Baskets are the most common. Gourmet Nuts, Cheese, Chocolate, Wine, Sausage, and Cookies are all good additions to make up a great fruit basket.
