Sunday, November 11th, 2007
Right now, there are two separate people in my immediate family who are up for jobs they really, really want. Hopefully, in a few weeks I’ll be buying something like this Champagne Celebration Gift Basket. I’d love it if I could bring one to Thanksgiving for everyone to enjoy.
It’s also a great birthday gift, retirement present, or even new baby gift, depending on the person. Just make sure you have an adult around to sign for the package, or else the delivery person won’t leave it.
Birthday Tower Basket - Brownies!
Thursday, August 16th, 2007 Food and Candy GiftsA good friend of mine has a birthday this week, and I’m sure he’s going to be pleased when this Birthday Tower
shows up on his doorstep. It’s actually one of those scenarios where I purchased what I’d want for myself, but in this case, I think it will work. Who doesn’t love jumbo brownies, brownie cookies, and bite-sized brownies, all in a fun and festive tower.
Between the incredibly bright packaging and the sheer volume of chocolate, I’m sure all the women in his office will see it and stop by his office. For that, he owes me.
Back to Nature Fruit Basket
Thursday, August 9th, 2007The fruit basket is such a classic that a lot of people overlook it when they’re considering a gift. While it’s probably not the best gift for your chocoholic aunt, this Back to Nature fruit gift basket is a wonderful gift for any health-conscious loved one.
Unlike a lot of baskets that make promises about specific fruits, this one uses whatever is freshest at the time. Package prices range from $49-69.
Couch Potato Gift Basket
Tuesday, July 31st, 2007 Food and Candy GiftsI absolutely love this Couch Potato gift basket. Even if you’re not a sports fan, you’ll appreciate the delicious contents - Chips Ahoy, Oreo Cookies, sausages, tortilla chips and salsa, nuts, pretzels, peanut brittle…and you can choose just how nice you want to be. They have a price range from $49-99 that determines how much is actually in the basket.
The Gift of Summer Coffee
Wednesday, July 11th, 2007With the possible exception of iced coffee drinks, most people don’t think of summer and coffee at the same time. It’s just too warm. That hasn’t stopped Boca Java from coming up with a great summer coffee gift basket, though. Instead of the usual heavy coffee gift basket stuff, this one has an iced sugar cookie, two summer coffees, a mug, and flavored swizzle sticks. They also give you the choice between whole bean and pre-ground coffee in the gift set, which is a relatively rare occurrence.
Cheese Basket for Alcoholics & Others
Tuesday, July 10th, 2007It’s not often that a cheese basket gets me this excited, but the Alcohol Kissed Cheese Basket is definitely worthy of attention. At $129, it’s not exactly a gift for your casual friends, but if you’re out to impress your favorite cheese lover, this basket will do the trick. Just look at what’s included:
* Whiskey Cheddar
* Brillo Pecorino DiVino
* Winey Blue
* Chicken Normandy Terrine with Calvados
* Irish Mustards
* Mimosa Jelly
* Ah! Some Chocolates - 4 Piece Assortment
* Schlünder Liqueur Cake
* Flambar Pineapples in Gin:
* Vino de Milo All Natural Simmer Sauces
While I could do without the Mimosa Jelly (probably not bad, but I’d be forever picturing the actual Mimosa Tree), the rest sounds divine. I’m a sucker for good cheese, though.
