baskets.

TIME
OUT
In
a basket or
box put a
meditation/relaxation
CD, herbal
teas,
scented
candles,
chocolate
(time out
bars) and
lavender
oil:
My friend
sometimes
life has you
stressed,
so take time
out to relax
and rest.
A
meditation
CD teaches
you to
breath,
release your
worries put
your mind at
ease.
Sip
herbal teas
and smell
the lavender
oil,
feel your
body start
to uncoil.
Eat
the
chocolate
and savor
each
bite,
the scented
candle is to
light at
night
Use
this kit and
take time
for
yourself,
a little
time out
each day is
good for
your health.

You can give
garden seeds
instead of a
CD and
change the
2nd line to:
Flowers to
plant as you
breath in
the
outdoors,
put your
mind at
ease,
release
those
worries of
yours.

CHOCOLATE
& COFFEE
Little
jars of
assorted
coffees,
mint sticks,
chocolate
biscuits,
coffee cup,
hot
chocolate
mix and
chocolate
bar:
Coffee
and chocolate
go
together
like a hand
and glove
smooth
and full of
energy,
a
taste you
really
love.
Brilliant
on a cold day
but good in
summer too
I
made this gift
with care just
to give to
you.

WEARABLE
T.Shirt,
fabric paints
and pens,
metal studs,
rhinestones,
applique,
patterns, band
aid and
chocolate:
Create
an original to
wear with
pride.
You'll
find
everything you
need in this
basket deep
inside.
Sequins,
applique,
studs, pens
for your fun
but
also a band
aid in case
you hurt your
thumb.
Fabric
paints and
glitter, and a
candy bar to
eat,
and
when at last
you're
finished bet
people say
"Oh
that's
neat!"

FLU
BASKET
Honey,
miniature
bottle of
scotch, lemon,
shot glass and
tissues.
It
is the season
of snuffles,
colds and flu
So I made up
this basket
just to give
to you
Everything you
need to make a
drink of cheer
To help to
ward off the
germs lurking
around this
year
Honey soothes
a sore throat,
lemon is
nature�s
antiseptic
Alcohol will
drown your
woes and help
you to forget
it.
So pour
yourself a
little nip and
climb back in
bed
Things could
be wayyyyy
worse at least
your not dead!
