candy gift basket, gift basket ideaIn late February, I went to a fund raising concert that was so much fun. They had sponsors who donated all kinds of merchandise. They sold raffle tickets and I bought a few and was lucky enough to win a candy gift basket themed for Easter. I knew exactly who to give it too, so when that happy day rolled around, I placed it on the front door step of my neighbor's home for their son's candy gift basket for Easter. He's four years old now and was very curious about the Easter Bunny, so I tried my best to explain that he's a busy bunny this time of year and that's why he's hard to see. I left it to his parents to fill in the details. He was so happy to see the candy gift basket and later that morning, he came over with folks who snapped a picture of him with it, printed it, and gave me a copy.

I think that candy gift baskets are great for kids a few times a year and since I knew the organizers of the fund raising event, I found out where the candy gift basket came from. One of those in charge pointed me to the donor, and it turned out that a kind benefactor ordered the Peter's Delivery Easter Fun Pail online from North Bay Emporium at http://www.northbayemporium.com/. I wanted to find out where it came from because it was so cute. I am always on the hunt for gift basket ideas and after I got home from the concert, I looked it up and found lots of great candy gift baskets, not to mention all the other corporate and thank you gift baskets they had there, too.

Next year I think I'll donate a candy gift basket, too. The event keeps getting bigger, and the orchestra relies on private donations for much of its overhead. Winning is fun, but giving is more fun. Now that I've found North Bay Emporium, I may turn to it for upcoming gift giving occasions because it seems like they have a fine selection of gift basket ideas for any occasion. One link took me to a wide selection of them, and they all looked like high quality gift baskets. I had a great deal of fun giving my neighbors' son the candy gift basket, and if I can give that privilege to someone else and help the arts community in my city, I'll be doing something good for everyone.
