Gift Baskets provides all the information you need to assemble delightful gifts without putting a large dent in your pocketbook. First section shows how to select an appropriate basket for the type of gift you have in mind, how to paint it, line, arrange the "goodies" in it, and wrap it. Second section is a portfolio of over a hundred complete gift baskets, each with a list of items and options to add if you like. Third section teaches you how to make a number of items to put in your gift baskets.
This book provides good background information for creating a variety of gift baskets. I donate themed gift baskets for local charity fund-raisers, and learned some new tips for presenting the materials more effectively than I had been doing previously. While other experienced basket-assemblers also might pick up some tips, I think the content of this book is more appropriately geared to newcomers who want to make gift baskets for personal use or for groups that are embarking on their first fund-raisers.
