I love your gift basket idea.

We're not much for gift exchanges here, mostly just eating and talking. But I like ideas that are practical, creative, and with a bit of handmade included.

I'm hoping to turn my Gift Baskets into a sideline soon. I use my friends and family as Guinea Pigs. ;)

I sell used books on the web as my home business, so I'm always in the Thrift Stores scrounging for books and other treasures. I can't believe the deals I've gotten on mixed bags of yarns and the like. Granted, you have to take some ugly stuff, but I've found $10+ skeins of hand-dyed yarns and Alpaca wools and the like buried in those bags, too.

I like putting together the Gift Baskets; gives me an excuse to be creative, plus shop year 'round for goodies, LOL!

I want to find a way to incorporate "reFURbished" Teddy Bears and bear-themed books as gifts for kids, too.

Too many ideas; never enough time or money! :)
