Starting a New Job Gift Baskets

Getting a new job is something to celebrate. Everyone looks to be gainfully employed especially after college. Maybe a promotion has been in the works for a few months and it has finally happened. Use these ideas for how to say job well done as a jumping off point for your gift baskets.

Let’s drink a toast to your good fortune. An ice bucket filled with packing peanuts (instead of ice), a bottle of bubbly, and some glasses begins the celebration. If the person with the new job doesn’t drink, exchange the champagne for a bottle of sparkling cider. The sentiment is still the same.

More than one person can go in on a funny gift basket. Start with an old fashioned wash tub. Fill it with fake money. Hide gifts in with the money. You can scrawl on the side, “Swimming in the dough.” They’ll have fun searching for what everyone put in the basket.

Maybe the new job is in a different city. Friends and family will be sad about the move but it is still a time to celebrate. Since the new job involves a new place, a basket that is themed around the new city shows your support and well wishes.

A traditional basket or one made out of something different, add travel books, restaurant coupons, gift cards, gas cards, and you get the idea. The basket can be themed according to the new job that they are beginning. For a doctor or other healthcare professional, dress a skeleton or inflatable doll with your gifts. Adorn them with a lab coat (personalized of course), stethoscope, tie (for the guys), watch, tongue depressor, pens, and other medical accessories.

There’s also nothing wrong with a basket filled with goodies: cookies, candies, and fruit. These scrumptious edibles can be enjoyed later. You can purchase cookies that are molded and decorated in different shapes. Create a cookie bouquet basket that reflects the new job.

Finally getting the job that you want should be marked as a special occasion. If you are getting a gift for someone like this, bring them a gift basket that says “Congratulations!” in your way.
