Where Did the Basket Originate?
Since the beginning of mankind, man has woven grasses, straw, twigs and branches to create baskets. Early uses for the basket were to store dry goods and to transport food and materials. In biblical times, larger baskets were used for transporting people and goods on the water. Always a useful, sturdy container, it was a tool of man for tens of thousands of years.
The First American Gift Baskets
When the Mayflower landed on the shores of America, the European settlers were greeted with the first gift baskets. Dried fish and meats, corn, beans and other vegetables were presented to the settlers, by the American Indians, to welcome their arrival. In the 1700 and 1800's, individuals created baskets full of fruits, foods and candies for Christmas, Easter and other holidays. Today's gift baskets are crafted to the individual recipients tastes for holidays, special occasions or "just because gifts in israel giving. Fruits, foods and candies now share space in gift baskets with "useable" items for the baby, the bath, the kitchen or for play. The baskets or boxes themselves are designed to be creatively used as well by the recipient once they've enjoyed the contents of the gift basket.
