I love receiving gifts, and let's face it...who on earth
doesn't. Getting flowers from my husband always makes me feel
special. The cards I get from the kids on my birthday and the
holidays are precious to me. Still, there is one gift I look
forward to more than any other. I have an aunt who I have always
been very close to and who sends me a gift basket every year for
Christmas. In over ten years of receiving gift baskets from her,
I have never had the same basket twice and I have never felt
anything less than sheer joy over what she sends. I have had
gourmet gift baskets of meats, cheeses and crackers, chocolate
gift baskets, wine gift baskets, home spa products baskets and
many others. I guess I just really enjoy the fact that it's so
many gifts in one. There's something incredibly special about
opening a gift and being presented with a wonderful array of
products to choose from.
No matter what the theme is, I feel like a kid in a candy store.
Each year, the hardest thing for me to decide is what to try
first. Over the years, I have come to look forward to and enjoy
the gift baskets more than any other gift I receive. Last
Christmas, my aunt ordered the basket late and it arrived a few
days after the holiday. Despite all the wonderful gifts I
received from friends and family, I really missed having a gift
basket. It felt as though something I enjoyed so much for so
long was absent. When it finally arrived, it was like Christmas
all over again for me. Since my aunt started sending me gift
baskets over a decade ago, I have sent her one each year as
well. We always talk after the holidays about what we enjoyed
the most. I think we're both addicted to them. In recent years,
I started sending them to other friends and family. Never before
have I felt so sure that my gifts were well received as I do
now.
Everyone seems to love them and I get a lot praise over my
choices. I think people enjoy sampling items that they might not
think to buy or that are unavailable is a real treat.
Personally, one of my all time-favorites was a selection of
Swiss chocolates that were better than anything I'd ever tasted
here in the States. I still think that if I had never tasted
them, I wouldn't know just how delicious chocolate could be.
The next time you are wondering what to send for a gift, I
recommend a gift basket. You'll be surprised at how much it will
be appreciated and enjoyed.
