Chicago’s winter can be a long, cold and harsh season which seems to go on and on. February and March can be just as bad as December and January except that you know that March and April are on their way. The first hope of spring can be when the baseball season begins. The Sox and Cubs start playing in Arizona and it is like seeing the first robin redbreast of the year. As hope springs eternal, the spirit seems to be reborn just as the first buds start showing in the ground. For the special people on your list in Chicago, sending a themed Chicago gift basket such as our special Chicago Cubs set is a special way to jump start their spring hope.

As the earth begins to warm and the ice and snow give way to the early buds of springs, Chicago’s gardeners are springing into action, preparing seedlings and the soil and dreaming about the growing season that is just ahead. One thing we know is that gardeners on your list would love to get spring gift baskets such as gardening gift baskets, which would help them to shrug off the winter doldrums and concentrate on the start of the gardening seasons.

Another sure sign of spring is when people take the covers off their grills, clean them up, and fire them up for the first time of the year. For those folks, barbeque gift baskets are the only way to go. Imagine the joy of getting a gift that celebrates the joy of grilling with special tools and sauces for them.

Can’t find just the right spring gift for that someone special? When looking around, think custom! Custom gift baskets can be put together very easily with the right partner. Start with a company who knows “gifting” and specializes in customizing their offerings to your specifications. Say you want to celebrate a birthday – start with a gardening gift collection and then just start adding your own ideas to it. Or, take ideas from all the themes of spring – gardening, spring, BBQ, or Chicago Cubs and combine them in a way that is total unique. What a thoughtful gift! Hey, come to think of it, we might just have to gift ourselves with a collection like that!
