CHRISTMAS GIFT BASKET

This is my first time making a gift basket but I have to say, it was really fun putting one together.

This year, not only I wanted to give my brother and sister-in-law a gift for Christmas, I wanted it to be a gift that would bring them memories of our culture and traditions.

After weeks of trying to figure out what I could do, while shopping at Macy's, I run across a beautiful ceramic tapas set from a new collection of ceramics hand painted in Spain. I took that idea and I run with it!!! LOL

I bought a basket and set out to find everything I needed to make it special.

We have here a wonderful market full of gourmet food from all over the world and I was able to find many things from Spain to create a nice basket for them with the food we grew up with.

It is nothing fancy, but it is from the heart.

 I was able to find some Turron, which is one of the Christmas sweets that we grew up with.

Tapas ceramic set

Put some pretty red filler in the basket

Added a bottle of Spanish wine

Look at the little bull hanging from the wine bottle. I thought that was original.

Two wine glasses with some little bags of candy inside

Added a few more "goodies"

Olive oil and vinegar, also from Spain

I put two Christmas flowers on each side of the basket to make it more festive

Ready to wrap it up

After that, I just added a bow made of red and gold ribbon

All finished! What do you all think? I hope they like it!

Only two more days left for Christmas. Are you guys ready?
I pray for a happy and safe Holiday season for all of you.
Merry Christmas!
