It used to be that when you could not think of something to get someone for any occasion, it was always okay to get them a box of chocolate. It seems very clich, but most people dont mind getting these, and most people like chocolate. Those getting them may not always think they were the best gift, but at least it was something that was sort of thoughtful. Today, however, there are other things you can get when you are stuck, and the muffin baskets you can get are usually really great ideas.
What is fun about muffin baskets is that you can make these up on your own very easily and you dont have to spend a lot to do it. You can get some great tasting muffin mixes if you dont want to make them from scratch, and even if you do start at the bottom, the ingredients are not that expensive. Muffins are usually very easy to make, and you dont have to be a great cook to get them right. You can then just wrap them up and put them in your muffin baskets and hand them out. Most people like muffins, and if you have a variety in your basket, there is bound to be something in there they like.
Muffin baskets can be great for the holidays, but it can be a pain to make up a bunch of them at the last minute. What is great about muffins is that they can stay in the freezer for a long time (about three months) and they will come out just as fresh as when they went in as long as you cover them properly. That means you can do up the muffins for your muffin baskets long before you are going to give them out, and you know your muffins will still be fresh. You can pack them up still frozen, and they will be perfect once they are received.
Just remember that unlike frozen muffins, those that have just been baked wont stay fresh forever. If you are going to send your muffin baskets far away, or you are not sure when someone may be getting theirs, you can save time and you can be sure they are safe by finding a company to make them up and send them out for you. That way you know they are fresh when they get there, and that they got some really great muffins. Either way, muffin baskets are always a lot of fun, and you can also add other things to them as well.
