The holidays are here. Make Holiday Gift Giving go easier this year. Let Cooktique make up that special gift basket for you or for your special occasion or for your special client. Choose the items yourself or let us customize it for you; just tell us the theme your looking for and the price range and we'll accommodate you.

Our Baskets are appropriate gifts for the Holidays as well as Weddings, Showers or Engagements, Sympathies, House Warming, Hostess, etc. They can be created in a traditional basket or in a Pasta Bowl, on top of a book, in a roasting pan, in a colander or even in a pot!

Leave the worry to us. We not only make the basket, we also do the cards, the labels, the shipping and the tracking. We keep of running record of what we put in your basket, so ingredients and themes are not repeated (unless you want us to).
