The Ultimate Guide to Creating Custom Holiday Gift Baskets

Wed, Dec 06, 23

There’s no better way to share joy and warmth this holiday season than with a carefully crafted gift basket. At Martin’s, we recognize the significance of crafting memorable moments that leave a lasting impression. Dive into this helpful guide as we walk you through the process of tailoring custom holiday gift baskets for everyone on your holiday list.

Give Your Custom Holiday Gift Baskets a Theme

With so many great options, narrowing down your top choices while curating custom gift baskets can be challenging. Sticking to a theme is a great way to avoid feeling overwhelmed with all the options. It may help to consider sticking with festive colors, like red, blue, or green. For example, our premade basket Green with Envy Gift Basket #3 is decked out in festive shades of green. It’s holiday-ready and brings a real wow factor that recipients will love!


Everything in the basket is unified by complementary green packaging. From Monomousseau Sauvignon Blanc Touraine to Gilliam Old Fashioned Watermelon Sanded Drops, all items in the basket follow a festive green theme, bringing instant Christmas cheer to your gift.


Craft your custom holiday gift baskets inspired by our Green with Envy basket. Let festive colors or other fun holiday themes tie everything together for a holiday gift that’s both aesthetically appealing and deliciously festive.

Reference Local Flavors

Who doesn’t appreciate supporting local businesses during the holiday season? Elevate your gift-giving by adding a personal touch with the inclusion of local flavors. Drawing inspiration from our NOLA Flair Gift Basket #6 is a fantastic way to showcase this idea.

Uncork the joy with NOLA Label Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, thoughtfully paired with Café Du Monde Beignet Mix and Coffee Roasters Southern Pecan. 


Dive into the rich tapestry of Cajun cuisine with Cook Me Somethin’ Mister! Jambalaya Mix and satisfy your sweet cravings with Cajun Pop King Cake Popcorn and Pointe Coupee Sugared Pecans. Let Louisiana's vibrant and bold flavors serve as a guide for making your holiday season merry.

Include Our Curated Staff Selections

Navigating the vast world of wines can be a delightful challenge. Our staff understands the nuances and has recommended some of their favorite options. These premium wines have been carefully selected to provide a diverse and sophisticated tasting experience. Including these favorites in your custom gift basket ensures a thoughtful and appreciated gift for any wine enthusiast. 


And, if you’re looking for something special outside of this list, the experts at Martin’s will be happy to help you find the perfect pick. Let our staff assist you in building perfect custom holiday gift baskets for the season.

Add Sweet Treats

Sweet treats are a must for any gift basket. They complement the savory snacks and wines, creating a well-rounded culinary experience. For example, take an example from our Simply Scrumptious Gift Basket #8. While our baskets often feature exquisite wines, this alcohol-free basket offers a range of treats. 


This basket has something for everyone with a wide range of treats including:  


Whether starting from scratch or adding a personal touch to one of our premade selections, a sweet treat can be the perfect addition to your custom holiday gift baskets.

Balance Sweet Treats With Savory Snacks

No gift basket is complete without savory snacks to balance the sweet treats. Our baskets often include items like J&M Cheese Straws or Mr. Martin’s Nut Mix, which pair excellently with our selection of fine wines. Craft a well-rounded taste profile that satisfies every craving.
