Ever Wanted to Make Your Own Themed Gift Baskets?
If you've always wanted to know how to make your own gift
baskets, this article will give you some tips to get started.
Gift baskets are such a wonderful gift and can be given for any
occasion. Creating personalized themed gift baskets is a great
gift to give that someone special. Gift Baskets are easy to make
and a joy to give.
When creating a themed gift basket, don't limit yourself as to
the type of basket that you can create. It can be something
simple and small, homemade or lots of great goodies that make a
really beautiful gift basket.
Here are some unique themed gift basket ideas for children,
teenagers and parents:
Teenaged Girls Gift Basket
Find a small to medium sized basket and line the basket with
pink tissue paper or raffia grass. Buy a sampler pack of flavored
lip glosses, powders, lotions, a makeup kit and a light sporty
fragrance and artistically arrange. Don't forget bracelets,
rings, watches, earrings, and necklaces. Wrap the basket with
colored cellophane and tie with a pretty ribbon and bow.
Teenaged Boys Gift Basket
Place a couple of their favorite CD's or DVD's in the basket
along with a pocket comb, cologne, and skin care products
designed for males.
Smaller Children Gift Basket
Using a medium sized basket, place a thin and soft blanket in
as a liner. Select a couple of dolls, stuffed animals, cars, or
whatever toys the child might enjoy inside.
Older Children Gift Basket
Big kids are wild about cartoon pencils and erasers, stickers
and trading cards. Add small games (like a Game Boy along with
accessories) and the latest Harry Potter book.
Infants and Babies Gift Basket
Place a soft receiving blanket in along with socks, teething
rings, rattlers, and a small plush toy. Baby brush sets,
clippers, bottles, and pacifiers can be added. Or make a basket
filled with baby skin products and diapers.
Ladies Gift Basket
A romantic gift basket for her should include chocolates,
scented candles, perfume, a framed photo of the two of you, and a
handwritten poem or note.
Gift Basket for a Man
Include his favorite drink (which may be wine, beer, bottled
water or a soft drink), his favorite munchies, aftershave, a
handwritten poem or note and a photo for beside his bed.

Designs in New Ways
How many of you are always looking for new ways to use your
embroidery designs - always, or never? If never, you are
overlooking wonderful opportunities! Do you optimize the
use of every design? Do you routinely review your library
of designs to see if you can combine motifs from one set
with another? Have you noticed how embroidery design styles
have changed over the past few years? Give those old motifs
a new look by using the designs that you got way back when,
again! Add new motifs under, or around, them to create a
whole new look! My last big project, a wind jacket back, is
a good example of what anyone can do with a little time and
imagination! With fall already upon us, I wanted something
tropical in my wardrobe as it's still every where in
ready-to-wear & home dec. The colors are just as
exciting as leaves turning colors.

How to Invest in
Antique, Vintage, or Modern Jewelry
As Antique Jewelry is 'Really' based on the
'Collectability' and Style of an item, it is hard for
clients to appreciate the 'Craft' involved in Handmade
work, as they only see the Gold value or Diamond Value
fluctuate over the years. If Gold goes up or the older
something gets, the value increases, right? No.
