Passion From several Custom Gift Baskets


One of my husband's co-workers married recently. For months leading up to the wedding day, I was completely clueless about what an appropriate gift would be. I wanted something unique that they would truly enjoy; a traditional toaster just wouldn't cut it. I wanted our gift to really demonstrate how thrilled we were for them.

In my quest, I visited a dozen stores and picked through a ton of toasters, bed sheets, and towels. Nothing seemed to say "unique" or "surprise." They all said "ordinary." I gave up and decided to try and find something online. I found some interesting suggestions, a gift basket of chocolates, or a bottle of wine. This grew into an idea of making my own gift, a wine gift basket!

It seemed like the perfect idea. Everyone loves a good bottle of wine, and it sets the right mood for a night of romance! I used a picnic basket and purchased two wine glasses and two bottles of wine. I added a corkscrew and charms for the glasses, when it suddenly occurred to me, "What is wine without cheese?" Into the basket went specialty cheeses and crackers.

It was surprisingly simple to assemble this elegant gift. My husband was very impressed when he saw the basket. He thought I must have spent a small fortune on something so extravagant. He was delighted when I told him this was my own creation. He was ready to finance a gift-basket business of my own! I was very proud of the gift I'd made for our happy couple, and shocked at how simple it was to do.

After the wedding, we became quite close friends with the couple. They told us they had taken my basket along on their honeymoon, and that they hoped to take the picnic basket to the park with their children. It was a nice feeling to know that they appreciated this gift and that they would long enjoy it's use.

I can't wait to be able to make more of these for my family and friends. I do not want to tell anybody about my new found love because I hope to surprise them with their own. They are so versatile that they are perfect for any adult at any stage of their live. My husband said he wants one for our next anniversary. I will have to think of something extra to add so that he is surprised. Maybe tickets to a show we can see before our picnic would be a nice addition.
