A good idea is to get a basket or a box and fill it with different kinds of food that the person likes- chocolates, delicacies, regional specialities. Or, you can get basket with a certain theme such as:
- A Gardening basket with bags of seeds, gardening tools, gardening gloves and maybe a book about gardening.
- The Ultimate Car-kit: A flashlight, blanket, map, notebook and pen, a recorded cassette, emergency kit and other useful things you can think of.
- Luxury-basket; chocolates, grapes and paperback novels. Pink furry slippers if the person has a sense of humor.
- A Spa bucket; fill it with oils, bath fizzies, brushes and lotions to create a spa-at-home.
- A Tea mug filled with teas, tea balls or maybe a coffee cup with freshly grounded coffee and some trendy sugar like muscavado.

- For the knitter- a pattern (can be downloaded online for free or for a limited cost) with the yarn and needles needed.
- A music-box with CDs from the recievers favorite artist/music period with biographies or books about it, maybe some notes?
- A basket with the persons favorite spirits and a little booklet about it, maybe something that´s appropriate to eat with it.
- De-stress collection with relaxing CD, relaxing tea, a relaxing aromatherapy candle or bath oil, a promise of a neck massage?
