However, when you choose to give someone you know a wonderful gift basket full of premium nuts of all sorts as well as a few delicate turkish figs, several dried apricots and a jar of apple butter, you are giving a gift that shows that you care. This type of gift is always well received whether you are giving it to a co-worker to celebrate a recent promotion or to a close relative who is turning a year older. Gourmet nuts, when given as gifts impress people and send the message that you actually took some time and care in choosing a gift.
