Semi-Homemade and A Little Something for You.
I had a small group of people to give a gift to this year. They all needed to be the same (equal) and they needed to be gender and age neutral. So I copped out and got gift cards to a store that I know they all shop at. The gift cards alone seemed very impersonal so I tried to come up with a more Christmas-y delivery system. Thank Goodness for the "Gift Basket" I found myself with the same problem as before. What to put in the basket with the gift card. Well this is what I finally came up with. The Anatomy of a (my) Gift Basket. I started with a plain bushel basket from Michael's and hot glued some ribbon around the sides and added a bow. To accompany the gift card I added: A small bag of mini candy bars. 2 sample bags of flavored coffee. A small bag of my homemade Snickerdoodle cookies. A music CD that my husband put together of Mannheim Steamroller Cristmas songs. And last but not least....drum roll please.................................. My Grandma Deen's FABULOU
