Best Christmas gift baskets: 50 unique ideas for everyone

Whatever the reason may be, it’s not always possible to see your friends and family over the holidays. Despite the distance, there are plenty of ways to make them feel loved and appreciated this year.

If you ask, “What on earth do I buy them for Christmas?” — you can’t go wrong with a festive gift basket! Sure, they might not be overly personable, but they’re definitely better than a last-resort gift card (although, no judgment if that’s your go-to). Besides, who doesn’t love unwrapping a box full of fun goodies? Plus, it’s shipped directly to their door!
