Why Gift Baskets Work for Every Occasion — and How to Pick the Right One

We’ve all been there. Standing in the middle of a shop, staring blankly at shelves, trying to figure out what on earth to buy someone who already has everything — or someone you barely know well enough to guess their taste. Flowers feel impersonal. Vouchers feel lazy. A random scented candle? A gamble.

That’s exactly where a well-chosen gift basket earns its place. It’s layered, it’s thoughtful, and it says a lot about how well you know someone — even when you’re pulling it together under time pressure. It’s no surprise that popular gift baskets have become one of the most searched gifting options year-round. 

According to Business Research Insights, the global gift basket market was valued at USD 10.6 billion in 2025, projected to hit USD 19 billion by 2035. That kind of growth doesn’t happen unless people keep coming back to the format — and they do, because it works.

Project 365 – January 2026

I wasn’t sure if I was going to do this again this year! It was such a fun project, but at the same time, I got a little redundant with writing up my day each day. I also feel like we do a ton, and this really highlighted how much we do pack into our lives. I absolutely love having a packed life with so many adventures – Robin calls us an Adventure Family, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. In the end, I wanted to continue on and do another year, though I do have a feeling (and know for a fact) that this year is going to be a bit different to last, with so many fantastic plans in store. There is just so much going on, but I do love sharing our day to day in these sort of diary entries, each month. At the bottom of this post you can check out some fantastic bloggers who are also taking on this challenge, though some post weekly or even daily!

All You Can Eat Sushi at MOJO Japanese Kitchen

When looking for a place to eat in another country, we often go towards Asian food. This is because we both really love this type of food! While on a canal tour, the tour guide recommended two Japanese places, one of which being MOJO Japanese Kitchen, so we had to go. This sushi place was right along the canal, which had beautiful views especially as the sun set. There were outer tables, which had robot waiters coming to deliver food, but we were sat in the very centre by a beautiful blossom tree.
