Seeing all the beautiful wicker baskets filled with gifts, wrapped in cellophane and tied with a ribbon still gets us very excited after many years.
Wicker baskets have played an important role throughout the history of the world. Being made from reeds, strips of oak, birch, or other fibrous materials, they have a long lasting durability and a simple rustic appearance. Because of their simplicity and inherently functional nature, baskets have also served as a very popular form of ‘wrapping’ for gifts... for friends, family, baby showers and corporate gifting occasions.

of gift baskets given to loved ones or colleagues when they aren’t feeling
very well. If you have someone recovering
from a surgery, it’s not uncommon to see a basket of delicious treats and ways
to pass the time set by their bedside.
There’s something about a basket of delicious food and treats delivered to us that makes
us feel loved, cherished, and considering the abundance of treasures inside,

fill them out, and the limitless ways you can decorate them to suit any occasion. For a new mother you can have

and all the other little accoutrements you need to deal
with bringing a new beautiful baby into the world and taking care of its every need.
