Gift baskets for closings - handmade

conimicut litehouse basketThere have been a few posts here in Active Rain regarding baskets for closing gifts. I thought I would upload one that I did for a client.

My intention was to "make it personal". I wanted something that the client would actually use and remember me when they used it. Of course each client is a little different so every basket has to be a little different.

This particular couple liked wine and sitting in their backyard at night by the pool. They also lived near the Conimicut Lighthouse which I happened to have done a painting of a few years back.

Because I belong to Cafe Press, I was able to have the painting reproduced on a small box (see photo) and also a Notebook (which you cannot see but is in back of the box). A couple of fancy wine glasses, both white and red wine and a couple of candles with holders completed the basket.

I liked the idea that this basket used both my paintings in a useful way and was "personal" to the buyer. Obviously the basket you make would "fit" the house sale and this one did.

Any other ideas or photos out there?
