Celebrate Spring Weddings with These Hampers

Picking an engagement gift, or indeed one for the couple on the actual wedding day, is a brutal affair. You have to go through a ton of friendship photos, look through their social media like some sort of new age stalker; all this just to get a feel for what they like. It is even worse if you have been invited to the wedding as a plus one, or this is a friend you have not been in contact with for a while. This is where gift baskets come in handy.

The way they are set up, they have a little bit if everything which makes them ideal for opening and sharing the sunshine with friends and family. They are also very light on the pocket; in most cases, a properly done gift basket will cost you between $90 and $400. This is entirely dependent on the contents, the packaging, and the amount of work that went into putting the gift basket together. It could also depend on whether you have asked for any extras, or whether this is a special order hamper with specifically requested items; those tend to cost more.

Most weddings are scheduled for spring, since this is the season of rebirth and love. Here are a few hamper options to choose from when looking for a decent wedding gift baskets:
