Craft: Breakfast Gift Basket

Contents

  • Tea for One Teapot
    • Earl Grey Tea Bags (24)
    • Passion Fruit Tea Bags (24)
    • Peppermint Tea Bags (24)
    • Tea Bag Wallet with 4 tea bags
  • Cappuccino Mix in a Bag
  • Clover Honey
  • Morello Cherry Fruit Spread
  • Honey in 5# jars from a local beekeeper*
*I poured some honey in a clean jar which was sterilized in my dishwasher. Put some saran wrap over the top, screwed the lid on tight. Taped the neck of the jar closed and sewed a jar topper out of scrap fabric.

Some time ago I purchased a package of new chef's aprons which I always keep on hand for whenever I'm baking or cooking. So I added one in the gift basket.

I purchased a new Tea for One Teapot from a website and attached the following label:

Warm your teapot:

While the water is heating, fill your teapot with hot tap water to preheat it. This prevents cracking that can occur when boiling water is placed in a room temperature teapot, and it helps the brewed tea maintain the proper temperature. Discard the water once the pot is warm.

My husband and I buy foods in bulk to keep on hand for emergencies, so we don't have go grocery shopping every week.

I bought the basket from a garage sale this summer and added a ribbon. The only items that I had to buy was the teapot, and the tea bags. Total cost for making the basket was about $20.00 or less.

How do you get the plastic to stay over the basket?

I make similar baskets, only I add hot cocoa mix, the little single pot packages of flavored coffee that I pick up when they are on sale, and a muffin mix that I pick up on when they are on sale.

And usually 4 cloth napkins (You can find them looking brand new at most thrift stores.)
