Gourmet Gift Baskets: What’s in a Name?
Today I’ve been thinking about words, more precisely, the words we used to name our gift baskets when we were designing our new website around this time last year. The question back then was, how do we convey the essence of a complex item like a gourmet coffee gift baskets in one or two words? 
What follows here are the names of our five gift baskets along with my own personal description of each one. I think we did a pretty good job.
The smallest of our gift basket we named Classic Elegance. With an elegant selection of a few classic products, it says “Thank You” or “Congratulations” without breaking the bank. The Sweet Desires and the Office Party baskets were next. I imagine the Sweet Desires basket as being just right for a romantic weekend. A sweet selection of our premium treats, it’s the perfect way to say “I love you.” 
The Office Party was the most fun to name. We designed this gourmet coffee gift basket with an office holiday party in mind. It includes larger portions of several of our classic products, and a 12oz bag of our organic, fair-trade coffee, or course. The Decadent Bliss Gift Basket is a truly decadent selection of basically all our favorite things in the world, while the Ultimate Nirvana is an absolute cascade of amazing deliciousness that will send its recipient straight to chocolate-lover’s heaven.
If you’ve received any of these baskets, or even if you’ve just looked at the pictures, we’d love to know how you would name them.

Baskets of Goodies
It seems to me that everyone likes the idea of gift baskets, but in actuality most of them are crowded with strange
food you would never actually buy for yourself. Not so our elegant vegan gift baskets which come to you (or your loved one or colleague) abundant in a gorgeous selection of our exquisite, premium quality products, plus a hand written gift card. Ranging in size from the Classic Elegance, which offers tasteful desserts for 2-4, to the Ultimate Nirvana with enough goodies for an entire office, staff, or holiday party, our vegan gift baskets are a great way to introduce your friends and co-workers to how just beautiful, delicious and compassionate gift giving can be.
