Published on May 27, 2023.

At charity fundraising events all around the nation, one of the biggest hits are gift baskets. Whether you're presenting them as gifts of appreciation, including them in a silent auction, or something else, there are seemingly endless choices from which to pick.

Kick Your Silent Auction Up a Notch

Silent auctions, with the right items, can bring a decent amount of money in during fundraisers. Think about your crowd before you go hog wild on the gift baskets you include in your fundraiser, however.
If you’ve got a truly elite crowd, and there's some serious money in the room, you might want to go all out and purchase our Krug and Dom Perignon Champagne Collection gift basket. Just a few of the items contained within include – aside from champagne – crystal champagne flutes, cookies, almonds, chocolates, truffles, champagne wafers, and more. It's all contained within an oval, silvery metal planter.
Need something kosher and affordable? We've got you covered there, too. We have kosher farm fresh fruit gift baskets that range in price. You can even purchase one that contains a bottle of wine and/or snacks (that includes chocolate!) Consider our Sea of Galilee Fruit and Red Wine Kosher Gift Basket. Moderately priced, it's perfect for your auction table or as a gift.
