Ethnic
& International Baskets spark desire for something
different !
The search for different and unique gift
items often leads to worlds of exotic tastes from other
cultures and countries. Gift providers, like all gift basket
companies, can reveal new cuisine experiences by
specializing in ethnic and international baskets.
Medini Pradhan owner of Elegantly
Expressed Gift Baskets in Pewaukee, WI has seen the rising
interest in ethnic and international gift baskets over the
years – particularly with Indian Gift baskets for which
her store is well known.
Pradhan’s interest in Indian cuisine is
rooted in her won ancestral culture and her birthplace in
Bombay, India. Living in the United States for 20 years, she
has found that many of her customers interested in ethnic
baskets are often 2nd generation Indians wanting
to be connected to their parents culture.
"I think there is a huge market for
ethnic baskets" she says noting that more and more
people are entertaining with different ethnic cuisines.
With experience in cooking and marketing
ethnic food through the CuisineCuisine.com website, Pradhan
describes her customers as someone with a personal
connection to India, people who have friends from India and
people who are just looking for something different.
One of the most popular baskets is the
Indian Gourmet Picnic Barbecue that the state-of-the-art
approach with Indian culture. In her Indian Cuisine basket,
she features mango drinks, Indian snacks, ready-to-eat
Indian meals and a keepsake wooden chest.
"These are great even for people who
want to expand and learn about the cuisine" she says.
And with the increase of gourmet dinner clubs, Pradhan is
often asked to bring one of her Idnian gift baskets.
"People are really getting back into enjoying the homes
and families" she says.
