Special occasions like welcoming a guest in your home or celebrating birthdays and anniversaries make me thing about preparing and giving a gift basket. It used to be no big deal for me to prepare or give gift baskets until the time came when I received one.

A couple of years back while I was travelling, I received a gift basket. This one was filled with fruits and some chocolates. It was something that was totally unexpected and yes, greatly appreciated. The experience made me think about giving gift baskets when I can and when the occasion calls for it. It’s a great way to make someone smile, to make someone happy.
