Summer is officially here, yet again! The long warm days make the ideal setting for outdoor parties and fun for all ages. Poolside gatherings and firing up the grill are ideal ways to spend those long lazy days, and for the host of the gathering, you want to take along a fun gift that shows your appreciation for their thoughtfulness. Luckily, The Gift Basket Pros are here to help you pick the ideal gift out of our large assortment of warm weather gift baskets.

First, the quintessential gift would be a luscious fruit basket! Overflowing with perfectly ripe orchard fresh fruits like Granny Smith Apples, Imperial Comice Pears and Navel Oranges, not only would this gift make an excellent warm weather treat, but the fruits inside would be perfect additions for a cold batch of sangria to enjoy at the party! Fruit during the summer is an excellent choice since it instantly refreshes and hydrates, not to mention the vitamins fresh fruits provide during those super hot summer days!

Next, we would suggest a summer themed gift like the Mrs. Fields Summer Time Cookie Pail. This "Summer of Fun" themed yellow pail holds two dozen fresh baked Mrs. Fields mini cookies, that are ideal for sharing! Also included are two yellow frosted butter cookies and delicious vanilla taffy. Everyone loves cookies and this would make the perfect appreciation gift for your summer soiree.

And lastly, you can't host a barbecue without all of the necessities. Our Barbecue Basket is a must have gift that includes everything to get the summer bash off to a great start. A bamboo cutting board, grill cleaning brush, barbecue sauce, tumbler cups and so much more make up this summertime favorite. When everyone sees what a wonderful guest you are for giving such a considerate gift, you will surely be invited to everyone's summer parties!
