For the Chef or Baker in the House
Fill a basket with some kitchen essentials from spatulas to homemade seasonings for the chefs at heart. Add in some homemade seasonings and oils for an added touch. Make the basket practical and stylish. Maybe add in a personalised apron for a personal touch.
For the Tea or Coffee Enthusiast
Fill a basket with their favourite teas or coffees and their favourite snacks or biscuits to eat while drinking. For a coffee lover basket, you could add in a coffee press or coffee filters as well. If you want to present it in an even fancier style, showcase the teas and coffees in mason jars.
Flavored Vodka - For the Vodka Enthusiasts
