Is there any thing that varies in quality as much as gift baskets? Depending on where you send one from and what product(s) you choose the range of value can be enormous. I’ve seen my share of baskets from both ends of the spectrum.

This is the time of year we tend to get saddled with our share of gift baskets, but not from friends and family who are too lazy to take the time for a more thoughtful gift (guilty), but mostly from Jamie’s various work relationships.

We got the first one today from the County CVB (yep, I’m doing someone on the board of the CVB – or something like that) and it was very middle of the road. Some stuff to like (chocolate, black peppercorn crackers) and some stuff we’ll never touch (english tea) along with CVB propaganda stuff like a X-mas ornament, a mug, a clippy magnet thing and stuff like that.

I do think it’s fun to dig through a gift basket and see what’s there. Here’s to many more this season.
