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. It carries all my favorite Colorado Christmas goodies, bringing Christmas wishes to my friends and family without the hours of baking in the kitchen to make all your favorite holiday goodies. Our Colorado holiday gift basket is an annual tradition for over 18 years. A wonderful blend of savory and sweet Colorado favorites are combined in this holiday green willow basket topped off with a festive red and white candy striped bow: This gift selection is also available in an eco-friendly gift bag. This Christmas, send a Colorado Christmas gift or our Grand Gourmet Gift Basket for a taste of Colorado to your out of state relatives or enjoy these treats for yourself!

Food That Says Merry Christmas from Colorado

As a Colorado Native, I have had my share of white Christmases. I always pity people who have never witnessed the natural splendor of snow flurries outside a lit up window with twinkling lights reflecting off the snowy ground. Christmas embellishments always seem more appropriate when placed behind a snowy white backdrop. Though snow is not needed to have a cheerful Christmas, fine food is a necessity! 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. 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 excellent Colorado companies which make all these Christmas goodies not far from where I live. When I need a pick me up to put me in the Christmas spirit or a quick present 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 sign on to www.basketsbyrita.com and order their Colorado Christmas Basket.

Birth considered one of life’s great events regardless of how many times you have experienced it with family, friends and co-workers is considered a miracle. Why does it seem that the birth a new baby is always special? The event is something the demands notice and celebration. Perhaps it is because we internally realize that it means that life does go on. It also reminds us of our own childhood and innocence. A brand new life filled with hope, joy and discovery. Statistics show that in the US the new born baby birth rate has been diminishing over the past 12 years . The decline in teen pregnancy has without a doubt been one of the most important public health success stories of the past decade as well.

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.

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. relaxation gift basketThe Relaxation Gift Basket is a great example of the varieties of products Baskets By Rita includes. This beautiful spring gift basket has everything she'll need to relax and pamper herself. A fresh vanilla citrus scent will relax and invigorate! A keepsake woven basket is the perfect tub side ccessory. This relaxation gift basket is wrapped in cello and tied with a citrus green bow. Available in different prices and you can even add champagne. . A bath and body gift is the perfect gift basket for any woman. If you know someone who could use some spoiling and needs an excuse to take some time for their self, send them a Baskets By Rita pamper basket to tell them they’re worth a little extra special care.
