Now we all know when a milestone birthday comes around, you want your present to be as memorable as the day itself! Well, there’s only one way to accomplish that mission, and that’s with one of our Classic Birthday Gifts. Qualifying for Classic Birthday Hamper status with Basketsgalore takes some doing. In the past 20 years, we have excitedly waved off on their journey thousands of Birthday Gift Baskets and Hampers from our warehouses to addresses in the UK.  We have been present at the departure of every single one, often interfering and applying some last minute improvements or fixes.  We are definitely sticklers for details and on the way as we have matured, so too have our creations and our designs. Our classic birthday hampers are distinctive from our standard Birthday Hampers because several component parts of the gift celebrate the significance of the milestone occasion. A Mug, cake sleeve and a Birthday Card are all personalised with the recipients age, as personalisation is key in Milestone Birthdays. The remaining elements serve their function of complementing a top quality Birthday Hamper. The underlying role of these products is to base them in traditionality, whilst avoiding alcohol by making a specific point to centre the gift theme around Tea & Coffee. Why look for something extravagant when we know exactly what they want? We have created a Hamper which represents great value for money, is beautifully presented and has just the right amount of personalisation. Check out the Classic Birthday Gifts

In the previous version of this blog post from 2015, How We Create BIRTHDAY Gift Baskets - Top 5 Ideas  we talked about classic birthday gift basket ideas, focusing on five distinct themes that have been favourites among our customers: Themed Birthday Baskets, Recipient Themed Birthday Baskets, Age Themed Birthday Baskets, Food Themed Birthday Gift Baskets, and Fruit Themed Birthday Gift Baskets. These baskets included birthday essentials like balloons, party kits, and cakes, as well as specific items tailored to the recipient's age and preferences​​.

While those ideas remain timeless, the evolution of gift-giving trends has introduced new elements of gender, pricing and sustainability. Today, our modern birthday gift baskets not only embrace these trends but also build upon the beloved concepts from the past. For more inspiration from our classic ideas, check out our 2015 post below on creating birthday gift baskets.

At BasketsGalore Birthday Gift Baskets are one of our most popular ranges. You might wonder what goes into a basket to make it become a BIRTHDAY gift basket and over the years we have learned what works best. We've divided them into the 5 top kinds of birthday gift baskets to give you some inspiration.

These tend to include birthday balloons, birthday party kits, birthday cake, cute teddies and birthday mugs.

These include birthday gifts for boys, girls, teenagers, mums, dads, brothers, sister, granny and grandad's. They include items that each specific recipient will like and are themed with a mug, bookmark or gift card relating to that person.

For those milestone birthdays such as 1st birthday, 16th, 18th, 21st, 30th, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays. They tend to be themed with an age mug, fun plaque or gift card to mark the specific birthday age.

The possibilities are endless here! A few popular examples are tea & cake, bubbles & chocolate or wine & cheese. It is themed for a birthday with the addition of a birthday cake, card and/or balloon.

As the name suggests these contain juicy fresh fruit which not only tastes amazing, but adds a splash of colour to your birthday gift basket. You can get standalone fruit, fruit combined with chocolates, fruit combined with baked goods or fruit combined with cheese & wine. Again a birthday balloon, cake or gift card may be included to theme your gift.
