gift basket ideas

[swedishcelt 0]

[Yes I googled. I got a thousand sites.]

What companies or places/ sites have you dealt with successfully before? This is for a relative who is going through a lot right now and I have no way of seeing them for awhile.

I tried that!! I guess I am looking for either a wine and fine chocolate or pure stress relief type of thing. I have no idea what is good out there. There are a thousand sites to choose from!!!

I use Red Envelope sometimes, but my coworkers sister works there and gets me a nice discount

Do you have to order online? If there's a store or wine shop near you that you like, why not ask them about putting together a basket and shipping it? You could even pick the items to put in there! It wouldn't surprise me if Trader Joe's did something similar, and any of the large department stores probably would too. I know Marshall Fields (local to the Chicago area) has a really good wine and gourmet foods department.

there is absolutely NOTHING near me

I thought of that but I would have to wait several days.

I've used these guys http://www.vansgifts.com/newsite/Shop/index.aspx before for customer gift baskets and they did a great job.

Send a ginormous fortune cookie!

They actually taste really good and they're a big kick. You can write whatever you want on the fortune. One of these would cheer me right up.

Have I mentioned that I've been feeling a little down lately?

Edit to add another place that makes great food baskets (but the fortune cookies are much cooler!):

Sorry! I was thinking of the best little wine shop near me! They'll put together custom gift baskets for any occasion! I even tried to see if they had a website, but I didn't find one.

Those are awesome. I have somebody else in mind for one of those!!

Of course. We'll drown our sorrows together in caramel, toffee, and chocolate.

Okay first of all:

Calling RevJim and 2fat2fly!!! (inside joke)

Sucks you're feeling down, but be careful as some people in this thread have already found out, I may take it as a personal challenge to cheer you up.

Oh, I'm sure once I see Gia and all the other cool peeps at the Byron Boogie I'll be in a fabulous mood. But you could send me a fortune cookie just be on the safe side.

Of course it's not quite as nice as waffles, strawberries, and whip creme
