Know a couple that adores spending time in the great outdoors? The Lakeside Collection shows you how to put together an amazing gift pack for the Outdoorsy Couple! Or how about adorable presents for the Pet Lover? There are also fashionable items for the Fashionista and much more!
I have to admit, as much as I adore the idea of giving someone a gift basket personalized perfectly for them, the idea that I could put items together and have it turn out as spectacular as these was making me feel doubtful.
It was time to see if I could take The Lakeside Collection's advice and, by following their instructions, handcraft my own great Cook Up Something Special gift!
As I opened the large box from The Lakeside Collection, I was pleased to see each of the individual items safely and securely wrapped to protect them from damage. No one wants to place an order and worry that pieces will arrive broken!
After opening and unwrapping each product, I was already impressed with the variety and overall mix that was suggested for this gift basket from the Curious Cook line at The Lakeside Collection.
As I laid each item out and began following the directions from The Lakeside Collection to stack them together, I quickly found that creating my own gift basket wasn't nearly as difficult or time consuming as I had thought.
By using the Set of 3 Handled Bakers and Terry Kitchen Towels as my base, it wasn't more than a minute or two before I had them colorfully tucked in together...
...and the remainder of the products filled in as well.
In less than five minutes I stepped back and found that the resulting gift basket was pretty darn great!
What chef wouldn't love the style, quality and practical uses (not to mention the yummy tastes!) that would come from this collection? As for the gift-giver, I love the pride that I can feel knowing that I gave someone a handcrafted, long-lasting, extremely creative and fun gift!
Whereas ordering a premade gift basket similar to this one would cost well into hundreds of dollars, the total cost for all of the items from The Lakeside Collection is just under $75. While this isn't a low-cost gift, it is definitely a value if you are looking for a fantastic option that is sure to wow and, of course, could easily be customized to be more or less expensive if you choose.
Be sure to head over to The Lakeside Collection to see the huge number of products that they have to offer at incredibly reasonable prices so that you can start putting together your own custom gift baskets this holiday season (don't forget to check out their collection of gift basket ideas for inspiration). As well as connecting with them at Lakeside.com (they also offer great catalog options), you can find them on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.
