Gift Basket Ideas Under $50

With a generous $50 gift budget, there's room to get a little creative with your gifts. Instead of focusing on one item, try mixing and matching smaller items to create a unique gift basket tailored to the gift recipients' interests.

• For the chef on your list, wrap up a new cast-iron pan or skillet along with a tasty cooking sauce or seasoning blend that they can experiment with. You can also include a cookbook.
• For someone who loves to bake, build the ultimate baking basket with fun cookie cutters and a set of sturdy measuring cups and spoons. Instead of a basket, try packaging your baking gift in a mixing bowl.
• For the friend who loves to host parties, bundle a gorgeous marble cheese board with a set of cheese knives to give them a head start on their next wine and cheese party. If there's room in your budget, add a bottle of wine or a corkscrew wine opener.
• For anyone with a sweet tooth, give the gift of a relaxing afternoon tea party by pairing fresh cookies or pastries with a tin of sweet loose-leaf tea. A new mug completes the gift.
• For the wine lover on your list, gift a pair of beautiful wine glasses and a wine aerator. An aerator allows them to skip the decanting process and enjoy a glass of wine at a moment's notice.
• For mixology enthusiasts, create a gift basket of must-have bar tools like a cocktail strainer, a bar spoon, ice molds and a muddler. A nice set of whiskey glasses makes a great addition to the gift.
• For the person who has everything, you can't go wrong by gifting a basket filled with sweet treats like chocolates and toffee. You can also throw in a gift card to Williams Sonoma, so the recipient can choose something they'll truly enjoy.
