I love gift baskets. There is nothing that compares to giving or receiving a bountiful basket that is overflowing with handpicked delights and tantalizing treats. As author Shirley George Frazier says:

“A gift is just a gift, but a gift basket is a mood-altering experience!”

That’s why I am so excited to share a wonderful resource that will open up a whole new world of creativity for you! Shirley’s best-selling book, The Gift Basket Design Book, will teach you everything you need to know to begin creating one-of-a-kind baskets from scratch!

The Gift Basket Design Book Review

If you want to learn how to build beautiful gift baskets – for pleasure or for profit – I can’t think of a better resource than this book! As an artisan, Shirley’s passion for creative gift giving shines through on every page. As an instructor, Shirley’s technical expertise is evident in the clear instructions and numerous illustrations provided throughout. After reading this book, you will be privvy to the trade secrets Shirley learned during 21 years in the gift basket industry!

What makes this book truly enjoyable is Shirley’s natural story-telling ability. Whether she is sharing customer stories or swapping creative ideas for gift giving, Shirley throroughly engages her readers throughout.

My favorite story was Shirley’s encounter with a client whose son surprised her with a Mother's Day basket filled with $100 worth of lottery tickets designed as lollipops. When she opened the basket and saw the contents, she screamed so loudly, her neighbors called the police! When the police came and she showed them the reason for the disturbance – the gift basket – they were so impressed, they ordered similar baskets for their mothers!
