Description:

Thousands of entrepreneurial-minded people who like to work with their hands have discovered that gift baskets are an ideal small-scale business, but not all gift baskets are created equal. With The Gift Basket Design Book, however, anyone with a modicum of talent can produce dazzling, professional-quality baskets for all occasions. Shirley Frazier, longtime gift-basket professional, reveals techniques that yield wonderful results and shows step-by-step how to put together delightful baskets for major and everyday events, from a 50th wedding anniversary to an impromptu pick-me-up for a chocoholic.

The book begins with a discussion of the types of general supplies that are needed for all gift baskets and where to find these items. It then goes on to explain in detail the basics of constructing a basket, from filling the base and placing the products to adding the finishing touches and sealing it all up. Perhaps the greatest benefit of this book are the clear, detailed instructions for creating specific baskets for a wide range of occasions and milestones, including:

Birthdays

Holidays

Thank you

Get well

Good luck

Congratulations

New baby

Sweet sixteen

Pamper me

Night at the movies

Just for kids

New home

Bereavement

Bon voyage

Marriage

New job

And much more

Photos throughout let readers see exactly how much glue to use or where a skewer should be attached or how a finished basket should look. A special section showcases the favorite baskets of actual designers from around the country, with notes on why each is popular.

No other book offers the same level of detailed guidance on how to create baskets that are retail-store perfect. This is the only reference that gift-basket professionals or amateurs will need to hone their basket-designing skills.
