In the basket, arrange a small pack of cheese, a bottle of salad dressing, dry cranberries, croutons, and a pair of fancy fork, knife and spoon. The salad needs to be consumed fast else the veggies might get spoiled.
• If the salad basket does not excite you, you can even try making a savory soup basket. Purchase a couple of interesting flavors of soup can or ready-to-cook soup packs.

• Whether it’s fresh fruits, salad or soup, gourmet baskets are always a hit. To avoid being repetitive, try a mix and match gourmet basket.

• Since ill health proves to be stressful, you can even consider gifting a soothing spa basket which includes scented candles, herbal massage oils, rolled-up towels, aromatherapy candles, bath salts, body lotions, shampoos, soaps, pumice stone and foot brush. This might be an ideal relaxation idea.
• If the person you are visiting is a child, you can think a little differently. Besides of the chocolates, you can buy some activity books, perfect for his/her age, a box of crayons, a children’s story-telling CD or a cartoon DVD. You can even consider buying a set of comic books or some indoor game, which the child can play, when alone. Leisure reading is something everybody enjoys.
