Need help on gift basket ideas?
Mrs. Travolta asked:
I would like to make sort of a gift basket to give to someone. The guy I am giving it to is rich, so I would like to have this gift basket be rather fancy.

I bought a bottle of 2005 vintage Champaign and am planning on buying cheese. What else could I buy? What about chocolates?
Thanks!

I would put in some shortbreads, wafer crackers, feta, goat, and other cheese, grapes, 2 champagne glasses, strawberries and chocolates, summer sausage, napkins and plates — great picnic!
I’m not trying to support any one story but this store has some wonderful things that could go in your basket:
1. wine glasses
2. fancy cork screw
3. lovely table cloth
4. candles
(cold cuts, fresh fruit, and chocolates from local market)
Think of stuff you would see rich people owning or eating. Put it in there.
How about making him something?
Here’s something creative that will be appreciated and you will have fun doing:
Make up a crossword puzzle and have all the hints be personal inside moments and jokes that only you two would know about. Put it on a poster board and add some clipart and some pictures to it!
The crossword puzzle could be time consuming and a bit frustrating … you could do the same idea with a WORDSEARCH or WORDFIND puzzle.
Put your computer skills to work! Use Excel, get clipart from Yahoo Images Search, copy them, and reformat them, use a gluestick to put on posterboard.
Use graph paper, and pictures from magazines if you are not as good on the computer, and it will give it a homemade feeling.
