Gift Baskets

I had an order for 5 gift baskets last week.

I always enjoy shopping for and putting these together!

This little business of Betsy's Baskets is 26 years old...

I can't believe that! haha.  It isn't a huge business and I

don't market it or advertise at all...just let the business

come to me and I'm happy the small size allows me to

do other things...like etsy! :)

My gift baskets are custom made and I always ask

what they would like in the basket...a theme or whatever.

99% of the time they say they don't care...just something nice.

Well, my favorite thing to do for that is to compile a group of

items that would be generally appreciated by most people.

Coffee, tea, gourmet chocolate, nuts and snacks

are my go-to.  And depending on the gender...

a candle, mug and other things can be added.

I try to choose items that coordinate by color.

That might be my OCD speaking, but I think it makes

for a nicer looking basket when it's all put together.

These turned out to be predominately blue

and full of beautiful things to eat and drink.

Yum.
