Wine Throughout human history, wine has been a celebratory libation enjoyed in both social and religious celebrations and traditions. For centuries wine has been savored for luxury, festivity, and religious purposes. Wine was historically thought to have healing qualities and red wine is confirmed to be good for heart health. Although not all civilizations drank wine for recreation, almost every world culture has a wine history whether used as beverage or medicine. In my life, wine is ideal for festivity, fun, and at times, as medicine. This fact alone makes wine the ideal gift for any gathering. Anytime I need a gift when visiting a friend’s home, as a housewarming present, or in order to say “thank you,” wine is my first choice. Wine is not only a fashionable gift, but it’s easy to pair with appetizers, meals, and desserts. Enjoyed in high class society, wine pairings and tastings are a great way to network and spend time with friends. What a great opportunity to socialize and learn a few things as well! Recently, I found myself in charge of planning out a rather large social event. In all the mess of making arrangements, I forgot to notify one of the event sponsors of a change in date. The day before the event, we realized the error when I answered a phone call from the sponsor. As a consequence of the misunderstanding, they were unable to take part in the event and had blocked time out of their schedule for nothing. My immediate response in apology was to send the sponsor a wine and cheese basket from Baskets By Rita. For $150 I was able to send them a basket loaded with an assortment of red and white wines, cookies, an assortment of cheeses, smoked salmon, gourmet crackers, summer sausage, olives, dried fruits, caramel corn, candy, snack mix, fine chocolates, mixed nuts, and more. I thought that this would be a gift that could be shared among all of their employees and I hoped it would convey my apologies for the mix up. I would endorse a Baskets By Rita wine basket for any occasion for which wine is suitable. Whether you need to say thank you, send a housewarming gift, apologize, or present a gift when visiting a friend, Baskets By Rita has the right wine basket like Champagne Gift Basket for the occasion. This Chandon Blanc de Noirs Champagne gift basket has something for everyone. Includes gourmet olives, smoked salmon, wheat crackers, wine cheese spread, Colorado fruit jam, almonds, pistachios, chocolate biscottis, Rocky Mountain salsa, tortilla chips, Colorado tea, Starbucks Coffee,Cookies, assorted milk and dark chocolate truffles.

Budweiser in A Basket With Food
Along side cool weather comes loaded comfort foods and fragrant seasoning. Think of your favorite seasonal snacks: gingerbread, hot toddies, Bailey's and coffee, hot chocolate, and pumpkin pie. Each of these share the warm, spiced aroma that we often associate with the holiday season. As the seasons turn into fall, bake shops and coffee shops bring back their seasonal menu items. On a crisp, cold day, nothing curbs a craving such as a mug of hot chocolate or a warm cinnamon scone. As we typically think of sweets and warm beverages when we think of seasonal foods, another favorite that springs to mind is seasonal beers. While a coffee lover may anticipate the return of their favorite pumpkin spice latte, a beer lover might wait patiently for the return of their favorite pumpkin ale. In 2008, seasonal beers were the top selling craft beer in the country. There is surely something to be said for the effect seasonal food and beverages may have on our holiday spirit. The notion of beer and food pairing is particularly appropriate with holiday and seasonal beers, since they are often seasoned differently than their year round alternatives. To learn the best way of pairing seasonal beers, it is important to know the different kinds that are offered. Oktoberfest beers are normally aged and as a result retain a robust taste. These pair best with beefy meat dishes such as steak and potatoes. Harvest ales are created with seasonal spices and ingredients. These bold aromas pair well with the bold, rich foods the holidays are best known for. I’m sure you can place a few bets as to which foods pair well with a pumpkin beer. Pumpkin is really a very neutral ingredient and lends itself to making for a good ale or lager. These beers pair well with lighter meats such as pork and chicken along with seasonal vegetables such as corn and squash. It also pairs well with pumpkin pie. At Baskets By Rita we know a few things about pairing good beers with fancy foods. Any of our seasonal beer baskets come with a variety of cheese, crackers, chocolates, and sausages paired to ignite your taste buds. Take for example our Budweiser Beer Gift Basket. This buds could be for your recipient. Here is a beer gift basket filled with Budweiser beer, America's favorite along with a wonderful selection of All American favorites. We have included a 6 pack of Budweiser beer, American beer cheese, crackers, buttered popcorn, chocolate sunflower seeds, Jelly Belly candies, chips, salsa, pretzels, beef jerky, happy hour snack mix and more. This beer basket is a great gift for a man. . If you would like to give a unique, customized person this holiday season, why not consider sending a beer basket? I can’t imagine a better treat for cuddling up by the fire and indulging in good foods than cracking open a cool, Oktoberfest beer and taking in the joy and warmth of the season. Happy holidays!

Men Love Beer Gifts
With cool weather comes loaded comfort foods and fragrant seasoning. Think of your favorite seasonal snacks: gingerbread, apple cider, Bailey's and coffee, hot chocolate, and pecan pie. All of these share the warm, heavy aroma that we typically associate with the holiday season. As the seasons change into fall, deli's and coffee shops bring back their seasonal menu items. On a crisp, cool day, nothing hits the spot like a cup of hot chocolate or a hot cinnamon scone. As we typically think of baked goods and warm beverages when we think of seasonal foods, another favorite that comes to mind is seasonal beers. While a coffee freak may anticipate the reintroduction of their favorite gingerbread latte, a beer expert might wait patiently for the return of their favorite pumpkin ale.

Baskets to Say Merry Christmas from Colorado
As a Colorado Native, I have had my share of white Christmases. I pity people who have never experienced that first hand. Christmas embellishments always seem more suitable when laid behind a snowy white backdrop. Although snow is not required to have a merry Christmas, good food is a necessity! A number of my favorite Christmas snacks are hot cocoa, toffee and caramels, cookies, chocolate covered pretzels, popcorn, candy canes, cheese and sausage, hot coffee, and baked goods. The best thing about all of these treats is that even if I don’t have the ability to prepare them myself, there are a multitude of great Colorado businesses which make all these Christmas goodies not far from where I live. When I need a pick me up to get me in the Christmas mood or a swift gift to bring with me to a Christmas party, give to my friends and family out of state, or want a merry table topper for my Christmas table, I visit www.basketsbyrita.com and purchase their Colorado Christmas Basket.

Food That Says Merry Christmas from Colorado
As a Colorado Native, I have had my share of white Christmases.

Several of my favorite Christmas treats are hot chocolate, toffee and chocolates, Christmas cookies, dipped pretzels, popcorn, candy canes, cheese and crackers, peppermint coffee, and brownies.

Fruit for Thought A Stress Relief Gift
Fruit for Thought Only one third of all American adults consume two or more servings of fruit per day. When I think of all my favorite fruits: raspberries, kiwis, cherries, blueberries, persimmons, etc, etc, etc. I think it’s such a shame that more people don’t appreciate the simple beneficial goodness of fruit. Fruit is not only part of a wholesome diet, but it is nature’s candy. Fruit contains a fraction of the calories of your average candy bar, contains enzymes, vitamins, and minerals that are not contained in a candy bar, and is all around more nutritive while still able to satisfy that sugary sweet tooth. Fruit consumption is also advantageous for weight loss. It supplies energy, water, lessens the risk of heart disease and some types of cancer, and can slow down the aging process. Who wouldn’t want to eat more fruit after learning these facts? Next time you have a chance to send a gift, why not deliver a fruit basket? If you’re going to provide someone sweets, why not give the gift of wellness as well? At Baskets By Rita, we bundle the freshest, most attractive fruit available into our Stress Relief Gift Basket. Our Stress Relief Gift Basket is the perfect gift to send as a tax accountant gift, CPA gift, t

Gift That Create an At home spa treatment
After a long week of work and classes I am ready for a restful weekend at home. But we all know that the possibility of me planning a weekend full of spa like therapy and peace and quiet is rarely probable. Despite the fact that I’m not working I always end up with a number of errands that’s stacked up over the course of the week, a house to clean, and a bundle of other various projects that slip themselves into my schedule somehow. Even though I might be able to talk someone into giving me a five minute back rub, I don’t think I’ll have time for a manicure and a massage. In our world where we live such busy lives, it is nearly impossible to slink away for an hour or two let alone a whole day to just forget about our hectic lives and take a little ‘me’ time. Where I can perhaps fit in a trip to the tanning salon or a waxing appointment once a month, it’s by no means enough to help me feel as if I’ve actually treated myself. When a holiday or a birthday comes around and someone asks me what I want, the first thing that comes to mind is “money” or “a new pair of scissors.” Although these may be prudent gifts, they are essentials and purchasing these necessities doesn’t require much sympathy. A gift should be something you want, not a thing you need. Sometimes we forget our own merit and we need a friend to speak up and remind us to spend some time on our self. A gift should encourage you to take care of yourself, not help you run yourself further into the ground. Even though I can say I wouldn’t have much spare time to arrange a spa appointment even if I received a gift card, I have a few home remedies that will do the trick almost as well. When I find a friend has been working too much and needs a little love, I order them a spa basket from Baskets By Rita to remind them to take some time for their self. Baskets By Rita fills their baskets full of high quality spa products for an all inclusive, at home full body treatment.

Have A Gourmet Christmas Holiday Gift
In many societies across the world, Christmas is a time to indulge. Societies throughout the globe honor Christmas as a time for bountiful indulgence. As the largest commercial holiday of the year, stores start selling Christmas products and playing the Christmas songs as soon as Thanksgiving is over and sometimes sooner! Major department stores including Sachs Fifth Avenue and Macy’s design stunning window displays portraying signs of Christmas in a glitz and glam presentation of glitter, snow, and red and green striped candy canes. Even countries like Japan, which is not considered a Christian country, take on the holiday spirit and stock up on presents for the Christmas season. I guess the spirit of giving is irresistible even when separated from its religious origins. The spirit of indulgence which Christmas brings upon us is not only extended to the gifts we give, but it branches out to encompass the decorations we see all over town and best of all, the food we relish! Have you ever driven through neighborhoods at night just to gaze at all of the Christmas lights on front lawns and roof tops? And how many times have you given yourself a tummy ache with all the Christmas treats you ate at the holiday cookie exchange? These Christmas traditions are created throughout the years in order to give us something to look forward to in the dead of winter.
Christmas is a time to celebrate life. In a religious context, Christmas is a celebration of the birth of God’s son on Earth, Jesus Christ. Even people who are not religious choose Christmas as a time to celebrate the presence of their loved ones in their life. Christmas is a time for gourmet living as I have said before. Everything from the food you eat to the decorations you put up to the gifts you give suggests the essence of the holiday, but they are not free of cost. In hard economic times, we find individuals cutting back on their Christmas spending and making crucial sacrifices to save money. Some people decide to buy a fake tree to save themselves th

Fresh Fruit With Cheese What a Gift Idea!
Now that we are half way through the summer months, we start to look ahead to the fall. With the changing of the leaves, the chilling of the air, and the shortening of the days, we are reminded of the coming of winter and the end of a new year. But let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves. Autumn itself has many of its own assets. For thousands of years, autumn has been the time of year to enjoy the harvest and the gift of food. representations such as pumpkins, gourds, and brightly colored leaves are traditional in the United States as we celebrate Thanksgiving Day and Halloween. As the days get shorter and cooler, we draw our attention from the bleakness of the season and distract ourselves with celebrations of friends, family and food, reflecting on the things we’re thankful for. Wouldn’t it be nice to show up to Thanksgiving Dinner this year with a little something more than the conventional salad or loaf of bread to share? Or how would you like to surprise your distant relatives with a seasonal treat that says “I’m thinking of you and I’m thankful to have you in my life.”
Baskets By Rita has the perfect gift to share around the table or to send to those special people you love in this time of thanks. Our fruit and cheese gift basket is a great gift for almost anyone. We start with our split willow and rope weave basket and add a nice assortment of seasonal fruit, cheeses, crackers, individually wrapped chocolates and nuts. It's the perfect healthy choice. Send our fruit basket as a birthday gift, get well gift, condolence basket or welcome gift. Choose 2nd day air when shipping this basket outside Colorado. This fruit and healthy gift basket is a fun way for you to bring the gift of good food to your family and friends now matter how close or far away! As the summer sun fades making way for the crisp, cool air of autumn, remember those you are thankful for in your life and give them their own little part of the fall harvest!

Spa Pamper Her Gifts for Birthday and Beyond
Happy birthday gift baskets to show you haven't forgotten special people in your life.
Happy Birthday to me Happy Birthday to me. Do you ever feel like almost everyone has forgotten your birthday this year. Well I always remind myself that I would be surprised at how little other people think about me. It is one of those ridiculous things that makes you feel especially unimportant. Sad to say it is oh so true.
I think that being dreadfully busy is a curse when it comes to taking special care of key friendships. Time passes so hastily and the next thing you know you have let pass that friend, family member or top business associate’s milestone birthday. It is perhaps too uncomfortable to send a gift late, so you vow that it won't happen when their birthday comes around next year. Gifts that I choose to buy for family and friends or even business associates that are universally enjoyed and appreciated are a real challenge for me.
That is why basketsbyrita has created so many awesome choices for a happy birthday gift that will make gift giving easy for busy people to quickly send a birthday gift baskets. Our birthday beer basket is another one that repeatedly get sent to men for their birthdays. I am keen on celebrating life and what better way to do it than with a wonderful birthday celebration gift basket or a spa gift basket or a bath gift basket for the women.
Family, friends and business associates will be ecstatic when you discover basketsbyrita and their gift giving made easy process for sending gift baskets!

BBQ Gifts Barbeque For a Man
Dad deserves the best on his day. OK, so you’re thinking what in the world can I get my dad for Father’s day? I don’t live at home any more and have no idea what he would like. You aren’t actually considering purchasing a gift card to one of the big box stores are you? That’s about as distinctive as a another wool sweater (in summer no less).
You may not live at home any more, but you perhaps have a good idea of what your dad enjoys – is he a beer aficionado? A chocolate lover? How about a wine lover? At baskets by Rita, we’ve been thinking about what men really like for gifts and putting together wonderful gifts for you to order.
I know, you always thought “baskets” were for the ladies, but once you take a look at our beer tub gifts, your will have a new view. If your dad’s preferences are for wine, you’ll see that we can deliver not only a nice wine of your choice, but also a excellent set of complementary foods that make a truly elegant package. Our Barbeque gift baskets for a man section is a great place to look if his tastes don’t include alcohol.
So let’s say your dad is a wine drinker that is also a big chocoholic. All you need to do is order one of our gift baskets for a man that fits the bill. The most critical part of the whole gift is your message on the card attached so be witty and wise. We will read your special instructions so let us know what he really like and we will put it in your gift basket. Such as oh by the way my dad really enjoys chocolate. The nice thing about working with baskets by Rita, instead of the big guys is that we actually read your order and can build your basket with the customizations you want to make your gift truly individual.

Bereavement Gift Instead of Flowers
When you first become aware that someone has passed away, your first instinct is to send a gift to the deceased’s family in their time of grief, but make sure you know and follow good funeral gift etiquette according to their culture. There is a variety of gifts that you might consider sending to the sorrowful family that will ease their pain and send the message that your thoughts are with them in their time of hardship.
Food: Perhaps the most welcome gift during a time of grief is that of food. Whether you have meals delivered or drop by with a casserole, the message is that you are caring of the family’s loss. However, be insightful about intruding on the family’s time when bringing the gift. A brief visit of about 15 minutes is appropriate to deliver the food and express condolences. Proper funeral gift etiquette for food is to offer items that require little preparation, such as a sympathy gift basket or a comfort food gift basket. Even if you judge that many people will bring food, your bereavement gift basket will last of many weeks without being opened since all the items are shelf stable.
Flowers: The most widespread funeral gift is flowers. Before you send any, find out if there are certain conditions for memoral service flowers depending on the religious affiliation of the deceased. For example, Jewish funeral traditions don’t integrate flowers while other gifts are considered more fitting. Others, such as Hindus or Muslims, don’t consider funeral flowers as traditional, but the gesture may be seen as caring by certain groups. Funeral flowers for a Catholic, LDS or Buddhist funerals are correct and welcomed. Consult a florist if you have any doubts, they will be well versed in varioustraditions for funerals.
Gifts to Charity: Memorial gifts are a popular custom that allows money that would normally be spent on expensive floral arrangements to be chosen for a specific organization, charity or event. By and large, the family will publish a preferred charity in the funeral announcement and request donations in lieu of gifts. Don’t breach funeral gift etiquette by sending flowers if the family has specifically asked not to.
After the Funeral: Funeral gift etiquette also allows friends and family members to send a fruit and cheese gift basket in the days and years following a loss. A sincere card or memento on the anniversary of the death sends the message that you care about family members and remember their loss. Even visiting with family members a few weeks after the funeral with a meal or a potted plant can have a big impact on the grieving heart.
Funeral gift etiquette suggests that family members send a thank you card for the bereavement gift baskets or services they received during a time of grief, don’t be offended if you don’t receive one at all or if it arrives several weeks or months after the funeral. When someone is dealing with grief, time can slip by hastily.

Birthday and Beer Celebration
Have you ever considered looking at the notion of pairing beer with good food? This doesn't mean that you go out and find a great brat and cook it in your best beer either. I am even suggesting that you go beyond pizza and burgers too. Try out some of the following ideas! You might find that there is more than one way to take pleasure in a fine bottle of beer.
Cheese is one food that is mostly associated with wines and champagne. Discover how good a nice brie tastes with a fine wheat beer. Apples like Gravensteins is another winning pairing with a Belgian ale. There are the ester, or fruity, characteristics that are frequently found in apple or pear-like fruit while the truffle honey harmonizes with the slight honey notes Belgian ales are known to have. Also, the flavors of gouda cheese compliment the Brett characters that are found in the beer. Some American wild ale loosely bear a resemblance to top-fermenting beers that have been purposefully introduced to fermenting agents beyond the classic assortment of beer yeasts, sometimes replacing them altogether. Strains of wild yeasts such as Brettanomyces, along with the lactic acid-producing bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Pediococcus, which are usually considered contaminants in beer and wine making circles. They are used to deliver distinctive sensory profiles by brewers who are willing to take risks as to both the changeableness of the results and the perception of the public.
The company Baskets by Rita offers an assortment of beer baskets and beer tub gifts, birthday and beer gifts online as gifts to those beer authority . Their gifts are designed in useful containers that are functional when the goodies are being consumed and after they are gone. "Our beer tub gift is our most popular beer gift this year", say VanWoerkom, owner of the company.

Gifts With Wine So They Won't Whine!
Christmas Holiday Gift Baskets what a mouth full
Christmas is a very accepted time of year for many businesses to give presents. Many businesses follow, what I believe, is a very smart option by avoiding anything that has religious implications. That means that the gifts they award will not include the words Christmas or will they use the words Merry Christmas in their card. A company wants to give a gift that will be remembered and appreciated. This time of year is so emotionally charged with the feeling of another year gone by and reflection on the year as a whole. There is also optimism about the coming year too. The corporate holiday gift is an important way for companies to say thank you for your business and along with that is the trust there will be a feeling of loyalty for sustained business. A Christmas holiday gift basket is an exceptional choice for a business. A Christmas gift basket is great since everyone enjoys tasty food. However, take your time and choose wisely many gift baskets are quickly put together and contain foods that you can purchase in any grocery store. You want the presentation to be attractive and the food to taste fantastic. Otherwise the gift basket, which is a image of your business, will create a feeling of quick dismissive. Giving gifts automatically creates a kind of social obligation to want to do something for the person.
Business often times give wine gift baskets and beer basket at the holidays. I would encourage doing that only if you know the client well and you are confident that the alcohol will be cherished. Corporate holiday wine baskets come in all sizes and themes so corporate gifts can be selectedchosen to suggest the hierarchy of the recipient. This choice might also be driven by the amount of the group the gift basket is intended for. It often times is more gainful to gift a single gift to the team instead of one small one for each person. The choice is yours.

Baskets Filled By Easter Bunnies?
Easter celebrates Jesus Christ’s resurrection, making it the most essential of all Christian holy days. However, today the meaning of the holiday is obscured by painted eggs and bunnies. Easter can fall anytime between March 22 and April 25 since is occurs the first Sunday after the full moon. Easter is also coupled to the Jewish Passover in symbolism and it’s position in the calendar.
Now what about the rabbit and the eggs? Well the rabbit is a well know sexual symbol of fertility. Religions coupled with Babel connect the rabbit with periodicity, both human and lunar. The Mother Goddess Semiramis (Easter) is connected with the moon. Therefore, the Easter bunny symbolizes the Mother Goddess and is connected with annual Spring time fertility rituals worshiping the Mother Goddess.
Colored Easter eggs are a part of the festivities too that came from the egg which was a sacred symbol among the Babylonians. The believed that a amazing size egg fell from heaven into the Euphrates River from which the Goddess Semiramis was hatched.
It makes you wonder how many of us truly think about the exact meaning of this holiday other than the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It has become another retail holiday and very commercialized. However, it is a time for families to join and celebrate the day. Kids love Easter for the gifts, candy and most of all the egg hunting which could take on a life of it’s own. Family member that are separated by geography many times send Easter bunnies and eggs gift baskets to their family members. Grandparents send Filled Easter baskets for Kids to grandchildren. Daughter and sons send Family Easter Basket to parents and siblings far away. These Easter food baskets contain candy, plastic eggs filled with goodies, cheese, crackers, brunch items and more

De-Stress Through Gifts
Most years starts out on a high note, most have their resolutions either writtendown or at minimum in their heads. This time of reflection on the year before gives us a perception of what we would like to adjustin the future. Change is always excellent but hard to embrace and to create. As the employee accountable forperks for the employees I find it demanding to purchase the right gifts that comprise the correct product for the right occasion that will please the the greater part. We all know that nothing is perfect so it goes with gifts. I call it one size fits all which really means some will love and others will be mildly impressed.
I have learn that there are people out there better matched to make these design decisions than I am. I have been working with Basketsbyrita.com for many years now and the are the experts.
They write the following:
Many companies employ over worked over stressed employees that they count on to lead the company through these rough times. These employees are the future successors that are tasked with the goal to finish projects, pass the bar exam or perhaps taking on additional duties where others have had to be let go. These folks have earned a little TLC periodically. If they are the new lawyer studying for the bar exam send them a stress relief gift basket or survival gift basket as a bar exam gift the week prior to the exam along with a note stating ‘hang in there we are rooting for you’. If it a project in it’s final stages send the survival basket to their home to say “we appreciate all your extra efforts to keep the project on schedule.

Thegood this gift and message send far out way the dollars spent on these gifts. Statistics show that 60% of employees leave a company because they did not feel valued. Having working in HR for a large corporation I appreciate what it takes to keep employees fulfilled. Most of all I have learned that relationships are critical to the success of any corporation.
