Last-Minute Gift Idea: Custom Gourmet Baskets

I LOVE this. For a last-minute holiday gift, for a hostess gift, for a just-because gift…for anything. And for fun – because it is so much fun, both to put together and (presumably) to receive (I gave these baskets to the friends who stopped over on Sunday afternoon for some cookie-decorating with their kids).

Bed Bath & Beyond has a new (or at least new-to-me; I’ve never seen it before) feature where you can browse an extensive wall of miniature gourmet products, and then put together your own customized gift basket.

Rather than pick up all the supplies separately (ugggh, and expensive), I went for the gift-basket kit in silver (just $4).

What I chose to go inside: coffee, tea, gourmet honey and clotted cream, salami, and a bunch of sweet stuff (including a Walnut Whip and that break-apart chocolate orange, which was a staple of my childhood and which you must try immediately if you haven’t before).
