Make this year's family reunion memorable by giving cheese and sausage gift baskets and other goodies to everyone. It is best to give relatives gifts which remind them of gatherings, especially for families which rarely see each other every year. Below are some tips on how you can make your gifts very special: Think of food items that your relatives would surely love. Find out what their favorites are, or what their children usually eat. If there are more kids in the family, include candies and healthy treats. Are they fond of eating meat? Do they love sharing pizza at home? If so, you might as well give them meat and cheese gift baskets to enjoy. If you have plenty of time to prepare, determine what each family's favorites are, and prepare different gift baskets suited to each of them. When you choose goodies to put in the basket, consider buying nutritious food items. Include vegetables or fruits, or organic snacks that everyone would surely love. Remember that you will be handing the fruit baskets to people are dear to you, so you might as well give
them healthy goodies. You can also make fruit and vegetable preserves for them. This way, you are certain that what you give them are safe and organic. Giving them no-cook food items is also a great idea. Weekdays might be very hectic to your relatives. Hence, they may have no time to cook and prepare meals. Put snacks or goods in the basket that do not need too much cooking such as no cook cereals, healthy canned fruit, and vegetables, non-fat cookies, and biscuits. Include home-made dips and spreads, so your nieces and nephews would enjoy eating bread and healthy salads at home. Be creative in decorating your food baskets. Base your decorations on this year's family reunion. Put ribbons on cookie jars or candy containers to make them look more colorful and attractive. Do not forget to label the baskets-put names of the families whom you are giving the gift baskets to. This way, they'll appreciate them more and feel you exerted much effort in preparing such food items for them. Put your food items in reusable containers so your relatives will have something to use for food storage. Plastic reusable containers are very affordable and perfect for giveaways. If for example you have decided to give meat and cheese gift baskets for everybody, make sure that the meat and blocks of cheese are contained and sealed in lightweight reusable plastics
