Summer Gift Baskets Perfect for A Woman
The summer months offers lots of time outdoor Eating! When I think of summertime I remember growing up in rural America and spending more time outdoors than I ever spent inside. This is great for kids lots of fresh air, energetic activities and social time with siblings and neighbor kids. I learned that I could almost keep up with the boys and I love doing outdoor physical things. I believe I should have spent a bit more time reading books.
With that in mind I think of the food that we savored in this summer thinks like iced tea, watermelon, salt water taffy, fresh vegetables from the garden. Oh want fine memories those are!
Did you know that 40% of gifts are a disappointment to the recipient For that reasons 40% of the gifts we give are undesired and the Typical person gives 29 presents per year of an average gift costs US $52. Wow that is huge I recommend food gifts next time. Consider a Tea and snack gift basket. Tea and summer snack along with sunscreen and lip balm to make a great Summer gift for a woman. A Summer gift for a woman in a colorful straw purse, sunny nutty love mango cherry chocolate snack mix, key line taffy, Boulder berry tea iced cooler, Lara bar, lip balm with sun screen, Rocky Mountain sunscreen and a Lolly pop. Bright cheery and very fun.
You could save hundreds of dollars a year on unwanted gifts and have more satisfied family and friends by choosing gourmet food gift baskets.

Bereavement Gifts Etiquette Suggestions
Funeral gift etiquette
When become aware that someone has passed away, your first instinct is to send a gift to the deceased’s family in their time of sorrow, but make sure you know and follow correct funeral gift etiquette according to their culture. There is a multiplicity of gifts that you might consider sending to the grieving family that will ease their pain and send the message that your thoughts are with them in their time of hardship.
Food: Perhaps the most welcome gift during a time of mourning is that of food. Whether you have dinners delivered or drop by with a casserole, the message is that you are thoughtful of the family’s loss. However, be aware about intruding on the family’s time when delivering the gift. A brief visit of about 15 minutes is appropriate to deliver the food and convey condolences. Proper funeral gift etiquette for food is to send items that require little preparation, such as a sympathy gift basket or a comfort food gift basket. Even if you judge that many people will give food, your sympathy gift basket will last of many weeks without being opened since all the items are shelf stable.
Flowers: The most general funeral gift is flowers. Before you send any, find out if there are certain conditions for funeral flowers depending on the religious association of the deceased. For example, Jewish funeral traditions don’t incorporate flowers while other gifts are considered more suitable. Others, such as Hindus or Muslims, don’t consider funeral flowers as traditional, but the gesture may be seen as thoughtful by certain groups. Funeral flowers for a Catholic, LDS or Buddhist funerals are proper and welcomed. Consult a florist if you have any doubts, they will be well versed in differenttraditions for funerals.
Gifts to Charity: Memorial gifts are a popular practice that allows money that would normally be spent on expensive floral arrangements to be designated for a specific organization, charity or event. Generally, the family will declare a preferred charity in the funeral announcement and request donations in lieu of gifts. Don’t breach funeral gift etiquette by sending flowers if the family has specially asked not to.
After the Funeral: Funeral gift etiquette also allows friends and family members to send a fruit and cheese gift basket in the days and years after a funeral. A sincere card or memento on the anniversary of the death sends the message that you think about about family members and remember their loss. Even following up with family members a few weeks after the funeral with a meal or a potted plant can have a positive affect on the grieving heart.
Funeral gift etiquette suggests that family members send a thank you card for the bereavement gift baskets or services they got during a time of bereavement, don’t be offended if you don’t receive one at all or if it arrives several weeks or months after the funeral. When someone is dealing with grief, time can slip by swiftly.
