rubyee...I love putting together gift baskets like that. I've given many a basket away for Christmas, and mother and sister in law will be receiving them this year
I'm making a lot of gifts this year...due to some financial circumstances we can't afford to give a lot away this year, so relatives and friends (including my dad, who is pretty well off and doesn't need or want "stuff") will be receiving some of hubby's kickass banana bread. The rest of my shopping will be done this Friday, when I get an employee discount at a local store.
