Gorgeous Gift Basket


What is your attitude towards
product catalogs that you
receive in the mail?

Are they blah junk mail or
are they TADA! in that you
look through them and base
your purchases on them?

I think they're TADA! because
they tell you what's new and
also provide crafty ideas.

The Harry and David catalog came in
the mail recently.

You can order gift baskets for any occasion
and they'll deliver it for you.

Don't you love these festive boxes with sweet treats?

Or this basket of baked goodies?

Maybe even a selection of international delights?

These photos got me excited to
make my own gift hamper.

blah: an old basket {you can also use a pretty box,
crate, tote bag or small suitcase}

Fill it with your favorite foodie discoveries
like fruit, cookies, jam, pate' or chocolates.
For something even more TADA!,
why not things you made in your
own kitchen?

This serves as a generous gift for
a birthday, house warming or
for the holidays.

  2. I love them for the same reason as you do - to take inspiration for Gift Baskets. Every Christmas I make some and sometimes those catalogs bring combinations I hadn't thought about :).

    One of the sadness I have is that they don't look so good when you have to desemsamble to send by post for my foreign friends - I'm babying an idea for this Christmas sending to my polich friend. If it works well I'll share it with you - those postal boxes haven't seen the last of me ahahahah
