A few things to keep in mind

1. First and foremost set a price limit. Gift baskets can cost as little as $25 or upwards of $200. So it is vital that you decide how much you want to spend before committing yourself.
2. The cost of the basket will also depend upon the kind of person to whom you want to send the gift. You might wish to send a corporate gift basket (to business partners, associates etc.), to family and friends, a baby gift basket (to a small child) or to a wife or husband.
3. You can get together a gift basket for the fraction of the market cost if you assemble one yourself. Buy items in sets and divide them among different baskets. For example buy a four-pack of nail polish for four ladies baskets or buy packs of whistles or other party favors for the kids. Buy the baskets at garage sales or at dollar stores.
4. Personalize the gift basket by attaching a hand made card to the basket and adding a hand made gift to it. It may be a small thing like a hand embroidered handkerchief or home made cookies.
5. A gift need not be very expensive to be appreciated. It can be as simple as a handful of tea bags in a tea cup tied with an attractive ribbon.
