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!

Fruit and Cheese A Perfect Pair

Autumn is a nice time of the year to create a new gift basket. Since it's harvest time for apples we have resolved to highlight many variations of apples. Our container for this basket is an old looking bushel basket. We packed it with caramel apple popcorn, sunflower seeds with dried apples and caramel bit in a snack mix assortment, cranberry cheddar cheese and apple cider just to record a few of the  fine tasting goodies. The naming of these seasonal offering is always enjoyable so we came up with our Fruit and Cheese gift basket and our Autumn Gourmet Gift Basket.

So you question yourself why would I ship Autumn gift basket and to whom would I send it? I would advocate sending one as a birthday gift basket, anniversary gift basket, corporate thank you gift or even as a condolence gift or a funeral gift basket as a replacement for flowers. These seasonal foods are great for celebrating the season.

Our objective is to have a new gift basket on our web site at least ever other week so come back often to check us out.  Some stay on for a long time and some just come and go like the seasons. Some baskets are motivated by the season some by holidays and others by great tasting new product introductions.

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.

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

Funeral gift etiquette
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.
