About Gift Baskets & Other Art
(A True Story)

A few years ago I came up with the idea to buy gift baskets for a couple of people on my Christmas list.

I wanted the gifts to be fun. I pictured gummi worms and gold fish crackers in a theme basket for the fisherman on my list and garden gloves and tools for my gardening friend.

It seemed that all of these extras weren't available in the basket store I was visiting, although the owner said I could go out and buy them and she would insert them into the basket. At the time, I didn't see anything wrong with this but after, I remember thinking "How come I had to do all the work. I thought this was supposed to be a gift buying service to save me time and stress."

Anyway, that experience started me thinking. I began to notice some of the plain gift baskets that were offered and I realized that I was creative enough to offer beautifully designed gift baskets which would be customized to suit the recipient and which would reflect my customer's good taste.

I want my gift creations to be fun, and lovely to look at. I want the gift you give to be the best one at the party. All I need from you is a few minutes of information then you can go back to what you were doing and I will create a gift that will make you look like a star.

Please take a peek through my web site at some of the ideas I've put together. I'll come up with something that will suit both your recipient and your budget.

The difference between ordinary and extraordinary, is that little extra.
