1-800-Baskets Review and Giveaway

Earlier this week 1-800-Baskets.com sent us THE most darling basket I have ever received. It's their Very Special Spring Deluxe Sweets Gift Tote. Moms and Grandmothers would flip over it just as we did ~

The basket arrived via FedEx wrapped in cellophane and tied with a yellow bow with not a single item out of place. It was so pretty I left it unopened sitting on my breakfast bar for a couple of days and admired it every time I passed by. Don't get me wrong, I couldn't wait to dig into it, but the presentation is just so darn cute! Included in the cheery lime green tote bag is:

• Cheryl’s® Chocolate Chip Cookies
• DeBeukelaer® Pirouline® Chocolate Flavor-lined Wafer Rolls
• Jules Destrooper® Belgian Butter Crisps
• Daisy-shaped Iced Vanilla Sugar Cookie
• Spring Pastel Taffy
• Robert Rothschild® Pomegranate & Tart Cherry Preserves
• Twinings® English Iced Tea
• Eurostyle Biscuits

I finally gave into temptation and snuck a few items out. I had never tried Cheryl's Cookies, but my friend, Carlee, raves about them and with good reason, they are scrumptious! The Daisy-shaped cookie is utterly adorable. We love Pirouline® wafers in our house so they won't last long. The butter crisps are melt-in-your-mouth delicious. This is a delectable assortment of gourmet sweets and every item we tried was delightfully fresh. The designers at 1-800-Baskets.com outdid themselves on this one. In addition to being ideal for Mother's Day gifting, it makes a lovely birthday, thinking of you, thank you, employee, client, or get-well gift. It also makes quite a statement measuring 14-1/2Hx9-1/4"Wx14"L and will definitely let the recipient know how much you care. Be sure to put one on your wish list as well. 

I've ordered from 1-800-Baskets.com in the past and the Customer Service is outstanding. I love giving {and receiving} baskets because there are so many surprises inside. I always select baskets with containers that can be reused and the straw tote is perfect to take along shopping, to the beach, traveling or on a picnic. The Very Special Spring Deluxe Sweets Basket is item #96403 and retails for $59.95 on 1-800-Baskets.com. Get social with them on Twitter and Facebook for discounts, new product announcements and lots of giveaways.
