I will be working several large craft shows this fall and would like to offer gift baskets. I always see them in other booths and I have extra products to use. Does anyone know where there are pictures of gift ideas?

Thanks
 
I am going to do a basket for one of the local factories for the employee appreciation day. Several of their employees are my hosts... I am using the 8-qt Collapsible Bowl with some rubs, a SB, and a few little items I have extras of...plus a discount certificate and my recipe card/business card in it!
 
I am doing a Teacher's Appreciation Day at the Staples near me and having TTAs filled with pens, rulers, pencils etc.
 
Just curious....when giving away products in gift baskets or even cash and carry....how would the warranty work> if someone needed to return or exchange one of the items from the gift basket, how would that be handled????

I have given a gift basket to a charity but I'm talking about selling the gift basket.
I usually won't put something in the basket that requires a warranty like cook books or spatulas. Nothing breakable or with moving parts. If I sell an extra stone at a craft fair, I'll honor the warranty myself and return it myself because I'm the one that origionally bought it.
