Personal Gift Baskets
When I need an especially personal gift for someone, I make a gift basket. Choosing the right basket, filling it with perfect things, and then covering it with tissue paper or ribbons is all very personal work. I get a few of my ideas from the article “Creating a Food Gift Basket for Any Occasion� and I come up with the rest from its suggestions. And I’ve also learned a lot about my friends this way. For instance, Julie really likes Pez dispensers of all things and Carmen likes gourmet pistachio nuts and chocolate. Charley enjoys salted foods, so pretzels, chips, and nuts are always good with him. So, when I put together a basket, I simply keep these things in mind, and then I design the basket especially for them.
