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 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.
