Those Herbs!
With rooting new herb plants and house plants on the brain, thoughts of future gift potential soon came along. I'll throw out some that crossed my mind. Have others to share? Please join in at amothersrewards@gmail.com. We can't wait to visit with you.
Gourmet gift basket ideas flooded my mind so fast that I'm not sure I caught all of them as they flew by! The following are the ones that hung around longest:
Whether simple or exceptionally indulgent, rustic or elegant, gourmet gift baskets can be assembled for very little expense; especially if a person is able to make much of the items themselves. Not only does creating gifts using their own hands save a person money, gifts made by hand with love also tell the receiver they are extra special. After all, someone took the time to create a uniquely handcrafted, one-of-a-kind gift "just for them". Herbs and plants grown at home could enlarge gift-giving potential tremendously. Abundance eagerly anticipates your own ideas for gift basket giving. Remember, you can share them at amothersrewards@gmail.com. See you there!
Gourmet gift basket ideas flooded my mind so fast that I'm not sure I caught all of them as they flew by! The following are the ones that hung around longest:
- potted herbs, jar of homemade tomato sauce, homemade bread sticks or bread, recipe for pasta meal, handcrafted card all tucked together in a rustic basket, which was found at a garage sale or thrift store, of course
- jars of handcrafted herbal beauty products, herbal bath sachets and/or bath salts, some spa articles such as sponges, loofahs, pumice stones, etc. handcrafted card peacefully arranged in an attractive container, perhaps lined with a luxurious bath towel, found on sale - oh yes, this could also be accompanied by a small house plant that had been propagated from a plant already owned such as a parlor palm (don't forget a handcrafted chocolate truffle)
- potted herbs and a recipe book detailing a variety of ways to use them
- homemade pasta, jar of homecanned sauce, and several bunches of herbs all gathered together with love
- a newly potted plant, current phone book with numbers of important businesses highlighted, coupons for local restaurants and attractions, a list containing the names and numbers of the best babysitters (with the permission of the babysitters and their families of course) and a card for a welcome to the neighborhood basket
- herbal cookings oils (handcrafted from herbs grown at home) with bunches of herbs and recipes
- homemade herbal cleaning products, crocheted dish scrubbies, crocheted dish rags (cotton yarn best for this) with recipes for the cleaning products
