Gift baskets have always been a staple for the holidays. If you do not know what to get someone for a gift, a gift basket is usually one of your safest options. Offering a selection of goodies or products based around a theme never fails to get the job done.
With the rising popularity of gift basket businesses on the Internet consumers have plenty of options to choose from, today. One excellent option is EdibleGiftsPlus.com. One of the best things about this business is that they offer hundreds of basket options ranging from Holidays to themes such as Birthdays, Get Well, Anniversaries, and other events. Each basket has a fun theme and a selection of prepackaged or business made goodies to enjoy.
We had the pleasure of receiving the Deluxe Copper Drum from EdibleGiftsPlus and were more than pleased. The basket includes a musical note cookie, Lindt dark chocolate truffles, a tin of European Cookies, Downey’s liqueur cake, Belgian chocolate covered Oreos, Belgian chocolate covered graham wafers, and a couple Belgian chocolate covered pretzels. Everything is packed into a copper drum that can later be used as a table centerpiece or as a planter, if you are so inclined.
As college students, we took the basket with us to school and passed out the goodies for some friends and a few professors to sample. We left the liqueur cake at home, of course, but are happy to report that it was delicious and we’re sure that everyone would have loved it. The biggest hits of the goody buffet were the chocolate covered items. The graham cracker/wafer and the Oreos were my favorite, with the Lindt truffles coming in a close second. Dominick loved the pretzels and Oreos and our son enjoyed the musical note cookie.
Speaking of the truffles, they went the fastest. They come in a bag and were labeled dark chocolate though it seemed that many people got different flavors. One of our professors got a milk chocolate covering with dark chocolate center and a few other people mentioned they got the same. I got a dark chocolate cover and milk chocolate center. The dark on dark were by far the best, though all of them were good enough to eat with no complaint.
The European cookies got mixed results. If you’ve had standard butter cookies that are sold by the droves during the holidays you should be somewhat familiar with these. However, these are slightly different. Some of them are mixed flavors. At least one person compared them to gingerbread and another commented that it reminded them of a chocolate/vanilla wafer mixed in the same cookie. There were also some mini-chocolate chip type cookies in there and plenty of the traditional butter cookies that have always been popular in our house.
While this is an awesome and truly yummy gift basket the fact remains that it is $68 and that feels incredibly pricey for some cookies and some fudge covered delicacies. I have no doubt that you could form a similar style basket for less money. Of course, if you’re looking for a holiday gift and don’t feel creative enough to assemble a gift basket (or do not have the time) EdibleGiftsPlus is certainly a good option. It’s also worth noting that this is just one of hundreds of baskets. There are several that are cheaper than this that still offer excellent options. You should have no problem finding something in your price range that has what you are looking for this holiday season.

[...] We loved everything in this drum, and so did those at the university where we brought this goody basket. The truffles were, by far, the crowd favorite, but the Oreos and Pretzels also went quickly. Of course, with a drum full of chocolate covered goodies, it is hard to dislike anything in this drum. The only downside to this drum is the price, but if you can afford it, the Deluxe Copper Drum is worth the purchase.
