Sweet On You

Good Morning Sweet Friends!

For five years I have been a gift basket specialist and I have never experienced more of a creative rush than when I am sketching a design for a client. I have never crossed an individual who didn't enjoy a basket that was personalized especially for them. My motto has always been, "Passion, not mass production" and I have never created an identical order. Sure, there is a long lead time and I don't take a lot of orders at once, but when a job is on the work table it becomes the job.

A favorite basket design is meant for a young couple on Valentine's Day. It is specifically designed for a couple with young children who cannot afford a sitter. Those couples need special attention. I remember our humble beginnings and not having enough to buy gifts, go to dinner, pay a sitter, buy gas...

The "Sweet on You" basket in the photograph allows a couple to make a nice dinner for two at home. It is flowing with things to eat, a single red rose, a two-piece box of chocolate truffles, pretty tableware, a lovely cd, and more. The recipients will put the little ones to bed, boil some water for pasta, open appetizers and enjoy!

I'm so thankful for the couples who were older than us that took our children in for an evening, or invited us over for a meal. Young love needs to be taken care of. Those young people deserve a little intermission and encouragement.

I'm confident that we all know a couple that could benefit from some of these ideas. I hope that these suggestions are useful to my dear readers. We are all creative. Perhaps there is a basket positioned in a closet waiting to be filled.
How sweet it could be!


Thinking ahead,
Alis
