Giving an eco-friendly or environmentally friendly bath and spa gift basket is a great way to help the environment. Whether you buy the gift basket or make it yourself, the environment will be better off for it. Think recycled paper (100% post-consumer, waste/process, chlorine-free paper), organic where possible, and recycling. Just follow these simple instructions for making your bath and spa gift basket.

First of all you’ll need to decide whether you’ll be using organic items or products, fair-trade items like soaps, items of clothing like new socks made from recycled cotton, or recyclable used items. You probably won’t want to use any chocolate or food items in this basket. They generally don’t go well with fragrance items. But use your judgment.

Next decide on what items will go into the environmentally friendly bath and spa gift basket.

For an organic and vegan bath or spa gift basket you can use: natural fiber sponges, pumice stone, towels, scrubs, organic and vegan soaps, fair-trade soaps, all natural toothpaste, organic lotions and shampoos without hormone-disrupting methylparabens or other toxic preservatives or additives, terry cloth and other types of bath pillows (very popular), spa pillows (very popular too), spa supplies, natural hair brushes, natural foot brushes, candles, aromatherapy goods, organic cotton socks, CDs of nature sounds or other soothing music, handwritten poem on recycled paper, birthday poem, inspirational book, book of poetry, Zen alarm clock, fair-trade art, handmade costume jewelry, stones, crystals, beautiful rocks, homemade items or a no-expiration gift certificate to a store that specializes in environmentally friendly items.

Now that you know your theme and what items to use it’s time to put your environmentally friendly bath and spa gift basket together.

For gift containers — some ideas: fair-trade baskets, wooden baskets, wooden bowls, fiber baskets, straw baskets, locally made pottery, buckets, non-aluminum, non-Teflon cooking pots and pans, large tea pots, potted plant holders, wire baskets, large pasta bowls, large popcorn bowls, clay pots, colanders, fabric gift bags, used baskets and containers from Goodwill Industries and Salvation Army stores or anything recyclable.

For gift basket liner — some ideas: shredded newspaper, organic cotton tea towels, organic cotton dish towels, organic cotton hand towels, colored recyclable napkins, organic cloth napkins or fabric pieces.

For gift basket filler, if needed, you can use: crumpled newspaper comics, straw or use your imagination.

And for gift basket wrap and tie — some ideas: recyclable paper, butcher paper, newspaper, newspaper comics, or reusable brown paper bags. Also check with the Salvation Army or Goodwill Industries stores for inexpensive recyclable wrapping paper. Tie with jute or raffia twine for a simple rustic look or leave the gift basket unwrapped.

Now the instructions for putting your environmentally friendly bath and spa gift basket together — first start with your chosen container. Place the liner inside and add the basket filler. Arrange the items with the tallest in back. If needed, fill any holes with organic wrapped candies or crumpled shredded recycled paper. Cover with wrap and tie with jute or raffia twine. Don’t forget the personalized, recycled card. If you’re using a homemade card include a great, happy, positive uplifting, spine-tingling favorite quote or saying. That’s it! You should have a fine-looking eco-friendly or environmentally friendly bath and spa gift basket!

When Purim comes around each year, we are faced with what to give each other. Some people make their own gift baskets and put together their own gifts. That is certainly special when your work goes into your gift giving.

But for those of us who are not quite so handy, let’s just purchase baskets and figure out what to put in them. There are plenty of things to fill our baskets. And preparing the proper foods is just as thought worthy as making baskets and gifts.

Item number one on the list is Hamentaschen. Poppy seed and prune are the traditional fillings, but apple butter, cherry and pineapple preserves are certainly delicious fillings that work quite well. The three sided treat is often attributed to Haman’s three cornered hat.

If you make them yourself, be sure to fold in the sides with one corner of each side under another and the opposite corner of each side over the other. Some lesser experienced cooks have tried to fold two adjacent sides in and then fold the bottom flap over both the other two sides. That doesn’t work because the flap will open and

it’s just not fun to eat that way.

If you would like, fulfill the mitzvah of sending Shalach Manot to a stranger by sending a gift basket to an Israeli soldier. On active duty at the Labanese border, plenty of soldiers would love to receive special gift baskets sent directly to them. It would certainly let them know that we are thinking of them in these hard times.

Visit the specific Israel Website to place your order in time. The cost isn’t much and you have fulfilled your mandate for Purim. Now, start putting a basket together for a friend.

While gift baskets full of sweet foods are great gifts to give to the needy, there are other ways to give of yourself during the celebration of Purim. Being creative, funny and informative, you can put together a skit that you can then perform for people in hospitals, day cares and nursing homes. You never know, you just might be the only person who visits them this year.

Help with the setting up of a Purim carnival. Volunteering your time is an act of giving just as much as a gift basket is to the needy and a half shekel is to charity. The act of giving is in the heart and without you, there may not be enough people to put together a Purim carnival. So, don’t hesitate to ask.

Purim is a wonderful time of year. Even though the weather may not be the greatest, Spring is just around the corner just like victory was just around the corner when the Jews seemed like they were in their darkest days when Haman was casting lots, or “Purim” to determine the

day he would annihilate the Jews. Even though brighter days are ahead, these days are the best to show people that you care.

The Jewish community stands strong together just as we did some twenty five hundred years ago. That’s the message. That’s the reason we have of celebrating. So, drink and be merry until you can’t tell the difference between “Blessed be Mordecai” and “Cursed be Haman.”

But, give of yourself and you give the best gift worth giving.



Modern Lighting Choices

Thomson Chemmanoor asked:


The best way to present an everlasting thoughtful gift basket would be to shop online where you can find numerous gift basket designs with unique style and great assortment of products in it. Searching online vendor is time consuming since you need to go website to website. But if you understand the taste and likeness of the recipient you can make a great selection online. While picking the right basket online you need to check with the online gift basket vendor whether they have a good assortment of products in their baskets. Some online gift basket merchants have very expensive gift baskets but don’t worry about the money look at the picture they have displayed on their website if you think that matches with the tastes of the receiver buy it which will make your recipient delighted.

Usually when you know about the person’s likings shopping for gift baskets is easy. While shopping online make sure to visit the website policies like shipping policy, return policy etc, because most of the gift baskets are filled with food, fruits and snacks which is perishable products. If the shipping doesn’t arrive in time it might be decay and would be of no use to the recipient. Also if it is the fault of the shipper make sure it arrives in a proper way. Now a day’s most of the online vendors have shipping insurance with their packages. Also while you order a gift basket make sure the recipients’ address and zip code are correct. Incorrect address may be delayed and returned. If this happens a reissue or reshipping may cost more. To avoid these hassles make sure while ordering a online gift basket to your loved ones you have all the right information about the recipient for example: his/her tastes, correct address, shipping info and return policy of the website. If you have these things right sending a unique online gift basket to your recipients will be a great experience.
