Valentine’s Day Gift Basket

This adorable gift basket was custom created for a grandma for Valentine’s Day from her grandkids.  We incorporated all the things she loves, which included crossword puzzle and word search books, matching pen, a box of Jujyfruits and a beautiful arrangement of yellow and pink silk roses.  Of course we had to add a little Cat In A Basket touch, we added a pair of Valentine’s bears representing the granddaughter and grandson holding hands or should we say paws.

Needless to say, grandma was truly surprised and we spread a little more love on Valentine’s Day with our delivery.  If you like what you see, call 636-328-3922 or ORDER here to create your little gift basket of love today.

Big Brother Baby Shower Gift Basket

We designed this very special baby shower gift basket with the new baby’s big brother in mind.  A new baby is a very exciting addition and will change big brothers life so we made him feel special!

We filled a small laundry basket with must have essentials for baby like bath towels, hooded towels, sleepers, wash cloths, socks, new born diapers, baby clothes hangers and a picture frame.  Then we threw in a few goodies for big brother that included a I’m A Big Brother book, New Big Brother ribbon and a custom Big Brother t-shirt from Zoey’s Attic (www.zoeysattic.com).  They specialize in sibling and pregnancy announcements.  We topped off the packaging with a super special I’m The Big Brother pin for the baby shower.

St. Louis Cardinals Grilling Gift Basket

We put this basket together for our client who needed a donation basket for a high school dance team silent auction.  She wanted something Cardinals and we took it one step further and made a St. Louis Cardinals grilling theme with all licensed items.  We filled a Cardinals 5qt galvanized tin pail with a 4 piece Cardinals grilling tool set (fork, tongs, brush, spatula), Cardinals ceramic salt & pepper shaker, ketchup & mustard squeeze bottles, New Orleans style Seafood & Chicken seasoning, Kansas City style Steak seasoning and a bottle of restaurant style Honey Barbecue Sauce.  We finished off the packaging with a mini Cardinals pennant that doubles as a Build-A-Bear pennant.

Perfect for a birthday gift, holiday gift or like our client a donation for a silent auction.  Let us do the work and make you look good!  Call 636-328-3922 or click on our order form to get your St. Louis Cardinals themed gift basket today.

Sake Lovers Kit

This gift basket was created as a Thank You gift for a Sake Lover.  We paired a bottle of quality Black & Gold sake with a matching stone sake kit that includes a platter, 4 sake cups and a sake jug.  And of course we added a little Cat in a Basket flair…Kahlua, Grand Marnier and Jack Daniel’s chocolates in each sake cup.

This makes a perfect Thank You, Congratulations, Birthday or client Christmas gift basket.  Call 636-328-3922 to create your own or click our order form.
