No matter the number of co-workers you would like to give gifts to this year, you can find the perfect food gift basket that will show just how much you appreciate them. Give a dried fruit basket collection as a healthy option for associates to snack on at their desks, or present them with a carefully selected assortment of roasted cashews, almonds and pecans. For the athlete at heart, a workout DVD or gift card to the local sporting goods store could also be a hit.    

* Sausage and cheese

Rise above the crowd with a gourmet food gift basket for your boss. A sausage and cheese gift basket will be enjoyed by your supervisor and appreciated by his or her family at their holiday celebrations. Pair gourmet sausage and cheese with other favorites, like crackers, nuts and fruits, for the perfect match of flavors, or make it a whole meal by choosing a wine gift basket to complement the savory flavors of the tasty treats.

* Assorted sweets

Show your gratitude to clients and vendors with Christmas sweets, which are a great way to say thank you for someone’s hard work and dedication. From peanut brittle to gourmet fudge or peppermint chocolate cookies, Christmas sweets are the perfect complement to any gift for your most valued recipients. If you work with someone who loves to bake, a dessert cookbook is a great way to give them some new recipes to try during the holiday break.
