Tea Gift Basket
By James Cavalier | October 24, 2008
With the recent popularity of green teas and other similar products you may want to consider making a tea gift basket for a friend or relative. The benefits of these natural drinks are numerous and they are tasty as well. You can create a tea gift basket on your own or you can find a pre-made arrangement in a number of places.
You can buy tea baskets already made into gifts but it is much more fulfilling to put them together yourself. It demonstrates so much more care and thoughtfulness. By personalising the gift tea basket to the person you have in mind you will add far more than the pure monetary value of the gift. The recipient will be overwhelmed.
My favorite tea gift basket that I created was for a friend who is always on one diet after another. She really doesn't need to be. I really think that she just diets for something to do. I created a great tea gift basket with a humorous twist for my dieting friend. The arrangement took no time at all to make. In fact, the concept took me longer to develop than the actual tea gift basket.
In this particular presentation I included a number of articles and testimonies about the amazing effects of green tea for dieters. Of course, the green herbs were included in the presentation. However, I surrounded the green teas with a bunch of fattening cookies and cakes. The contrast in this tea gift basket was ironically funny.
Fruit and flowers too can add a whole new dimension to your unique tea gift baskets. What are your friends favourite fruits? What colours do they love? Which flowers and fragrances give them most pleasure? Fruit teas, gift wrapping and even fruity biscuits can give you endless room for personal creativity too.
Chai teas are really hot right now. Younger, hipper friends and family members might really love a Chai tea gift basket filled with an assortment of this new favorite. I like to add some oriental details in this presentation to give the arrangement color and character as well.
If you know someone who likes a nice pick-me-up in the morning you could make a tea gift basket that is filled with breakfast blends. Add some gourmet pancake mix and some syrup and you have a great present. On the other hand, you can make a bedtime arrangement that includes bath oils, candles and chamomile teas.
There are endless options when it comes to making a personal arrangement like this. All it takes is a little creativity and you can make the perfect tea gift basket.
