Personally, I struggle with shopping.
Not for me. Ha! I like that kind of shopping. And not for the house. I also enjoy that. But I have a rough time shopping for good gifts for others.
In-laws. Josh's boss. Our neighbor that showed us how to install new headlights. The middle school girls that come over and let out the dog when we're gone.
I often want to find something unique. Gift cards are great, but it's nice to find something extra special and unusual sometimes. Plus, I appreciate good packaging.
Enter Basket Works. In their own words, they offer distinctive gift baskets for all occasions. Basket Works is located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and ships all over the country.
Baby gifts.
House Warming.
How about a Michigan gift basket, full of goodies local to the state of MI?
Birthday gifts.
How about for someone in the hospital?
You name it.
AND, they're partnering with this here blog to give away a special gift of your choice worth up to $75. SEVENTY FIVE BUCKS! And let me tell you, you can find a really nice Basket Works gift for $75! They'll ship the gift anywhere (in the US) you want it to go, or else deliver personally in the Grand Rapids, MI area.
What you do with it is your choice! Maybe you were trying to come up with a nice baby gift to send to an out of state friend. Or maybe you just want to get a basket o' goodies sent right to your very own home. You choose. I won't judge.
Here's how to win:
Click over to Basket Works and poke around. Leave a comment telling me what basket you like the best and who you'd give it to.
You can win up to THREE EXTRA ENTRIES by doing any or all of the following:
1. Become a Basket Works fan on Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/BasketWorks. (If you're already a fan, just let me know in a comment.)
2. Post a link to this giveaway on Twitter.
3. Post a link to this giveaway on your Facebook page.
You MUST leave an additional comment for EACH of these things that you do so that when I randomly select a winner I won't leave any one out. If you only leave one comment letting me know all of the things you did, you'll just get one entry.
This giveaway will be open until Friday night, April 2nd at 5:00pm. I'll find some kind of internet randomizer and do it up right.
And in the interest of full disclosure, you should know that Basket Works is owned by my mom and her business partner. They've been in business since I was a very little girl and I can personally attest to the quality and aesthetics of each gift they sell. And holy cow the gourmet treats are delicious. I should know - I've gotten lots of samples over the years.
And if I had a nickel for every time I got dragged along on a local basket delivery over the years...
Well let's just say I could buy all kinds of beautiful overpriced boutiquey baby stuff I have my eye on.

"There's No Place Like Home" Housewarming Gift Basket to my Brother and Sister-In-Law...they are in the process of renovating the first-floor of their house in Philadelphia.
What a great idea! They make the most beautiful baskets and I am always so in awe of their creativity. Of course, I am a "fan", both of Basketworkds Ltd...... and the owners!
A Taste of Italy Italian Gourmet Gift Basket ... would strangely be perfect for my mother for Mother's Day!
Perfect timing--I was JUST looking for the perfect gift for dear friends who just had their first baby! So, I would send the "Prince Charming Baby Boy Gift Basket" to them--Love it!!

I would love to send the Tiny Miracles basket to my brother and his wife who are going to have their first baby in a few months. It would be perfect for them!
I would pick the Home on the Range basket for boyfriend. He just got a new job and I am so proud of him! He would love everything in that basket!
I'm really liking the Everything is coming up Daisies basket. And I'd give it to my lovely mother who gave up a week of vacation to help us clean + move in October.
Such a great idea for a give-away!
Hugs to you my friend!
BTW, I also became a fan on FB.

Awesome idea Jess! (Am I allowed to do this if I don't blog? I've never commented on anyone's blog before!)
I like the Garden Party Gourmet...it's the perfect spring time Mother's Day Gift.
Those ladies at Basket Works are SO creative!
ps-this is your cousin Christina.
I'm impressed with the Facebook page too!
I love the Taste of Italy - pasta, olive oil, chocolate - that's perfect for me.
Woo Hoo!!! Who doesn't love a great giveaway. The Everything's Coming up Daisies is one of my favorites. I have a special couple in mind who have done a lot for us over the past few months.
Thanks!

I'm going down next week to see my Grandma before she has surgery for breast cancer (her second time getting it) and she is always so hard to shop for. Bringing her the Garden Party Gourmet Gift Tote, the "Just What The Doctor Ordered" Get Well Gift Basket, or the Tulip Time Gourmet Gift Tote would totally brighten her stay in the hospital!
If I don't win, at least I now know about Basket Works and can suggest it to my Mom so we can get her something from the site.
Thanks for the chance to win this great gift!
I would get the Morning Coffee Break Gourmet Coffee Gift Basket and give it to my family... and maaaaybe sneak a bit for myself too of course :)

Honestly it's hard to choose there's so many good ones. I could send one of the gourmet coffees to my little sis just bc. I could send the relaxation one to two ladies who have done a TON of work to help Bry and I put on the Passover Seder this year... Or just send the thanks a million basket to my hubby bc I know I haven't been the easiest to live with these days... In other words, I don't make choices easily :)

The Morning Coffee Break gift basket might actually help me get out of bed in time!

I would send the A Day At The Spa Bath Gift Basket to my mom, who is a teacher. She has had the craziest class this year, and I want her to have the opportunity to relax and pamper herself a bit. She deserves it after the amazing impact she has had on so many kids' lives.

I am a kindergarten teacher and I have an amazing aide who is with me all day. She cleans up the bathroom after the boys "miss" when using the toilet. She wipes bogger-noses without complaining.
The Thanks a Million basket would be a wonderful end-of-the-year gift for her.
I love the The Little Red Wagon Children's Gift Basket
I would give it to my friend that just found out she is pregnant!

I'd love the Bon Appetit! Gourmet Food Gift for myself. Thank you.
I loved the coffee and tea gift baskets. They looked really appealing and appetizing (can you tell I'm hungry right now? Haha!).
That's a great idea that your mom has started! And lucky you that you got to sample all the food! Did you invite friends over to try the food samples too? I'm just curious.
Have a wonderful day and thanks for the giveaway!
