a weekend gift of sweets





Do you have a sweet tooth like me? I can forgo a lot of things in this world, but when it comes to desserts, I have many favorites and they’re often a daily necessity!   

 

Over the weekend I received the cutest gift in the mail. This adorable box is shaped like a little house and is filled with different kinds of cookies, brownies and whoopie pies, yum! 


What a fun surprise... 

 




This cozy little cottage came all wrapped up in a navy-blue grosgrain ribbon. Isn’t it sweet? I later learned that it’s one of many charming and delicious gifts created by Gourmet Gift Baskets 

 

For years and years, we received an annual mail order food basket from my husband’s Uncle Fred for the holidays. We’d get cheeses, crackers, fruit and sometimes even salami! He was always so thoughtful and generous. 

 

Mail order gift baskets are nothing new of course, but this one is so cute and is filled with so many yummy treats! 

 




My family and I had such a fun time sampling all these classic cookie flavors. They were all really very good, but I have to say, my favorite was the peanut butter cookie.  


I have a soft spot in my heart for a good old-fashioned peanut butter cookie, probably because they remind me of my grandmother. They were a favorite after-school treat at her house, served with a tall glass of cold milk, of course!  

 




After checking out the Gourmet Gift Baskets website, I discovered they have all sorts of beautiful gifts for every occasion imaginable. I made a little collage here featuring a few that caught my eye. 

 

Don’t those Breakfast Baskets look amazing?


Having coffee or tea in the morning never looked so good! 


Another thing I really like is the convenience of the Gourmet Gift Basket Store on Amazon They don’t have as many choices there as on the website, but it’s a nice quick and easy option for ordering a really nice gift for someone special.  

 




Only a couple of these cookies are left, and they’re disappearing fast! I better get out and do a little exercise to work off those few extra (but delicious) calories!


We had an unexpected rainy day yesterday, so I wasn’t able to get out and do my little daily workout, so I better get at it today! 

 

I’ll be back soon with a few more of my favorite things and fun finds that I love to share with you all. Thanks so much for stopping by!
