Gift Basket Design Book
by Shirley George Frazier (9780762727957)

Thousands of entrepreneurial-minded people who like to work with their hands have discovered that gift baskets are an ideal small-scale business, but not all gift baskets are created equal. With The Gift Basket Design Book, however, anyone with a modicum of talent can produce dazzling, professional-quality baskets for all occasions. Shirley Frazier, a gift-basket professional, reveals techniques that yield wonderful results and shows step-by-step how to put together delightful baskets for major and everyday events, from a wedding basket to an impromptu pick-me-up for a chocoholic.
The book begins with a discussion of the types of general supplies that are needed for all gift baskets and where to find these items. It then goes on to explain in detail the basics of constructing a basket, from filling the base and placing the products to adding the finishing touches and sealing it all up. Perhaps the greatest benefit of this book are the clear, detailed instructions and photos for creating specific baskets for a wide range of occasions and milestones, including:
Birthdays
Holidays
Thank-you
Get well
Good luck
Congratulations
New baby
Spa treatment
Housewarming
Bereavement
Wedding
and much more
Photos throughout let readers see exactly how much glue to use or where a skewer should be attached or how a finished basket should look. A special section showcases the favorite baskets of actual designers from around the country, with notes on why each is popular.
No other book offers the same level of detailed guidance on how to create baskets that are retail-store perfect. This is the only reference that gift-basket professionals or amateurs willneed to hone their basket-designing skills.
