Congrats Baskets!

I was asked to create gift baskets to congratulate three magazine editors on new positions or posts. They were delivered by messenger on one of the first sunny days of spring -- I think they would have been perfect for an impromptu picnic on the Highline (or at their desks)!

I love making gift baskets, and I always want to fill them with some usual suspects (sweets, baked goods) along with a mix of unusual items to make it all a little more personal.

These are a great way to say thanks, sorry, feel better, congrats or happy anything, anytime.

I work with all budgets and for all occasions - email me!
